In this painting John the Baptist acts primarily and quite literally as a messenger for the coming of Jesus. The rabbis' contrasting body language evinces differing reactions to John's message. Veronese's detailed and sumptuous depiction of the figures' clothing and fabrics may be seen as a reflection on the quality of Venetian textiles, a theme also present in the works of Palma Vecchio.
