Thanks for that. It never occurred to me that the joker could have been Jesus. The joker is the truth teller because he doesn’t care about his worldly status in society. Jesus also says he is the TRUTH. But the second verse the thief seems to have a lot of wisdom and maybe that’s why he saw what he saw...
