A man stands near the center inside a temple with three men looking at him, light radiates from behind him.

The man's right arm (Christ) is raised up and his left hand touches the older man next to him whose hand is out, looking at him. Another man is behind Christ’s left shoulder looking at him, and a third man with his back to the viewer is facing Christ, all are dressed in robes and wearing hats. An older man stands behind this group, hand over mouth, listening in. The background contains pillars and an arch and loosely drawn people sitting on the right and left, framing the scene.
