[QUOTE="Ohorseman, post: 75751819, member: 203613"] I thought your were being light-hearted about the matter... and I even clicked on the funny face icon. Then, I read again your comment and considered your use of the word "vexed", a strong word. Maybe you are being serious about the matter. So, I will give you serious answer. It is no more revealing than many artworks of Christ on the cross. Certainly there is more cover than Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. In this art, John had been baptizing the people. You can see their many footprints in the mud. Afterward, when all the people were gone, the officials approach him and ask him hard questions. You only see the shadows of the old covenant officials. That is symbolic. You see the shadow of the staff with the menorah. Again, symbolism there. John is washing his robe in the river, and that itself is a symbol of baptism. John is exposed, just as with his words he exposes himself before the officials. It is not gratuitous. It is symbolic. Even him holding out his hand is symbolic of invitation for them to be baptized. Layers of symbolism. [/QUOTE]
