The healing of the servant of the Roman centurion. Gospels of Saint Matthew (8.5-13) and Saint Luke (7.1-10). Jesus preparing to cross a river or having crossed it meets a Roman centurion, pagan, to whom he announces the healing of his servant. Beautiful animated scene in a landscape and beautiful architectures.
