JERUSALEM - Archaeologists on a dig near modern-day Jerusalem just uncovered a stunning find: a perfectly preserved Italian suit that Jesus of Nazareth wore while preaching his famous sermons and parables throughout ancient Israel.

The suit was found complete with a Noah's Ark-themed tie and pair of black dress shoes, still perfectly shined.

"This confirms what we knew all along: that Jesus put on His Sunday best before delivering his messages," a Southern Baptist Theological Seminary professor said of the discovery. "What I wouldn't give to have had a back-row seat during one of His fiery sermons. Heck, I'd even go forward for the altar call again."

At publishing time, representatives from the dig had confirmed their discovery of the faux leather Ryrie Study Bible Jesus brought to the pulpit with Him each Sunday.
