The Raising of Jairus' Daughter and the Healing of the Woman with the Flow of Blood (Arles, France)
The Synoptic gospels intertwine these two healing stories, but it is unusual to see them visually intertwined in Early Christian art, as in this example from a late third/early fourth century sarcophagus from Arles, France. The image is found on the right side of the front. Jesus takes the young girl by the hand as the woman with the flow of blood touches the fringe of his mantle below.
