The Evangelist, Luke, gave a summarized but sufficient account of this scene, the minimum necessary for the purpose of bringing people to belief and salvation. Jesus showed Maria Valtorta this scene in a vision, which she described at length as a first-hand witness. Jesus, through Maria, His instrument, or “pen”, brings this Gospel scene to life, helps one to understand it more and live it out better. You can read her account of Lk. 11:29-32 in The Poem of the Man-God, vol. 2, ch. 268 titled The Dispute with the Pharisees and the Arrival of Jesus’ Mother and Brothers (cousins).
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Here’s another one of those pictures! He’s pointing to something, and his miniature cross with the long pole has a little flag that says, “Ecce,” which is Latin for “Behold.” So He’s telling us to look at something. What?
How can you tell that it’s before His death and resurrection? I don’t get how He could be pointing to the Lamb of God, because He is the Lamb of God. Whomever or whatever He is pointing to is out of the picture.
It’s not Jesus, it’s John the Baptist (they look the same to me). A Google image search found this picture on the website of the Franciscan Sisters of John the Baptist. So it must be John the Baptist pointing to the Lamb of God, who is not in the picture.
