Jesus Wrote Nothing, But Did He Crayon?

Berlinghiero’s Madonna and Child, early 13th c., from the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Perhaps scholars of the historical Jesus have been straining too long to find his ipsissima verba, when they should be looking for his ipsissima lineamenta!
