What Jesus Saw From the Cross

Long winded. Takes many liberties of what Jesus thought. How would the author know? No one knows what He was thinking about, especially as He was dying. Some other minor things- Mary Magdalene part comes from church ideas, not Biblical (i.e. as always, that she was a prostitute, which isn't true). The definition of 'brethren' moves from 'brothers' to 'cousins' based on what the context is. Because Jesus didn't have biological brothers. Except maybe He does but that would cause a problem with the Catholic version of Mary. The author is a Dominican priest, though, so it's understandable that the Catholic version is the only one shown.
