Hmm ... if it were the three wise men they would each have a camel or a horse, so I doubt it is them. Is it really three men? Could that be Mary and Joseph talking to someone? Is that other figure holding a staff?
Whenever I see a group of three from the bible I also think: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Though it doesn't seem to fit here.

Hi Ryan!

This brings a few bible stories to mind but like you, I can't identify them by name.
*Jesus rode into jerusalem (sp?) on a donkey
*Noah's Ark -boat in background
*Jesus going to fish to feed 3000 men, or whatever

This illustration could be a general summary? haah

Jesus used the boats and donkey's belonging to other men to travel, since he did not "own" any mode of transportation, this is common theme...

In short, this illustration depicts the dirtiness of an uncircumsized penis. the end.

Looks like it might be Joseph and his brothers? The one guy does look like he might be wearing a coat of many colors.

That was my first guess. Joseph had eleven brothers, but I can see why an artist would prefer to reduce that number.

If I could pick out a baby I'd say it was the flight into Egypt, but that seems like a stretch.

shadrach, mishak & abendego would have...fire?

is it maybe a coat of many colours?
