In the present painting the story of Jairus's daughter and the woman who touches Jesus's garment is illustrated. Christ and the Apostles have crossed over the Sea of Galilee, enduring a great storm, to the land of the Gadarenes. Christ sets off to Jairus's house. Among the crowd following him is a woman who has had an "issue of blood twelve years." She touches Christ's garment and is immediately healed. This miracle is shown on the of the canvas.
