Window 034 - The Apostles (restored, detail)

Some modern frames, marked (*)

• Row 04: Two men speak (not apostles since no halos?); Jesus calls Philip to follow him; Two apostles observe (*)
• Row 05: Jesus speaks to [? Peter & Andrew or James & John - though these don't seem to me to match the images in the next frames, which clearly are these four]; Jesus in Peter's boat, who kneels before him "Depart from me, O Lord, for I am a sinful man."; James, John, and Zebedee look on.
