46. Christ walking on the Water (west side)
In vault of fourth bay (fragments only)
The vaults of the fifth, sixth, and seventh bays have almost
completely lost their mosaics. The fifth vault is entirely empty. In
the sixth can be made out fragments of Christ healing the Paralytic
at Capernaum and Christ healing the Paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda;
while in the north-east pendentive is the Paralytic carrying off his Bed,
and in the north-west pendentive is part of Christ conversing with the
Samaritan Woman. In the seventh vault is a fragmentary Christ calling
Zacchaeus from the Sycamore Tree.
One now re-enters the inner narthex where the last eight scenes
of Christ's Ministry, almost all well-preserved, are to be found in
the pendentives, vaults and lunettes under the southern dome that
contains the Ancestors of Christ. The inscriptions in this series are
merely the titles of the scenes.
