Thanks for posting, great stuff. It is such an awesome Bible story. Their hearts were burning as they listened to him and they still couldn’t understand. Jesus obviously could have said who he was right away but he doesn’t. He is like a good teacher who wants the student to come up with the answer on their own.
I loved the Carpaccio and looked up a little of the history. The Venetian banker who commissioned it is thought to be sitting next to a Turk who has converted to Christianity. I also loved the history of the painting’s restoration. Thanks again.

Jesus and the Spirit are still doing that for every believer, coaxing and prodding and cajoling. Sanctification takes time, the entire rest of our lives.
Thanks for that interesting link. Two comments about the painting. First, the tapestry behind Jesus reads as though He is enthroned. Second, the painting depicts a miracle: no table with such inline legs could possibly stay upright without divine intervention.
