(One “Calandrino”[aka “Nozzo di Perino”] is a fourteenth-century painter who shows up in Boccaccio’s “Decameron” as something of a simpleton. Perhaps unfairly. The style of this painting doesn’t seem at all 14th-century to me, though, so I wonder whether the attribution to Calandrino is correct, or whether “Calandrino” and this “Giuseppe Calandrino” are the same person.)
“I have yet many things to say unto you,” Jesus tells his disciples near the end of his mortal life, “but ye cannot bear them now.”
This passage proceeds to suggest that they’ll be passed on to the disciples after his death — by the Holy Spirit. Which seems to point to ongoing revelation in the Church.
