The
Sarcophagus of Marcus Claudianus
Detail:
The Cure of the blind man and the prediction of Peter's betrayal
The figure on the left is Christ, rubbing the blind man's eyes as
specified in Mark
8:22-26 (cached).
The figure on the right is also Christ, with Peter behind him,
predicting on the night of his arrest that Peter will betray him before
the cock crows three times. The cock itself is shown at Christ's
left foot. I am not sure of the meaning of the purse or bag in
Christ's left hand.
