The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Peter spots a group of Pharisees from Galilee. The apostles get agitated, go to see them and put them in their place, because these men are scandalized by Christ's attitude (who welcomed Aglaia, a prostitute, and healed pagans in the previous days). A man of the people then tells the disciples that he did not believe their words because he has changed thanks to the Lord. James of Alphaeus and Peter then talk together: according to Christ's cousin, the Master is pleased with Peter, and James reveals that he speaks well thanks to Mary's lessons.

Jesus is accompanied by little Asrael, who is four years old and a preacher at heart. The Messiah then gives a discourse on the Commandment: "Thou shalt not bear false witness" and always encourages men to be sincere. In particular, he dwells on lying, its causes and consequences.
