Christ is shown 1) curing the boy Mark of his lameness, 2) restoring the sight of a blind girl, 3) exorcising the seven devils from the body of Mary of Magdala, 4) causing Peter the Fisherman to cast a hook and pull up a fish in whose mouth is wedged a silver coin, with which Jesus renders unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, 5) quickening the corpse of Lazarus, 6) saving the Woman Taken In Adultery with the admonition, "he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone," 7) driving the money changers...
