A Congregation Lifts a Lame Man Together

Prompt

1 Corinthians 12: 'For as the body is one, and hath many members... whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free.' A small Corinthian congregation of very different people, a Jewish elder, a Greek merchant, a young slave, a woman, and a blind man, stand close together in a sunlit courtyard, arms linked around one another's shoulders, lifting and supporting a lame brother in their middle so he can stand; all large and close, faces full of warmth and care. Simple white wall and blue sky behind. The men wear wrapped head-cloths over their hair. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
