The thesis deals with the topic of Jesus' miracles and God's mercy through the depiction of Jesus healing the sick. The work explores the Gospel accounts of Jesus' miracles, with an emphasis on the account of healing within crowds of people. References from the Gospel show various aspects of Jesus' activities in Israel, especially in Galilee, where he was often surrounded by crowds of people. The painting shows Jesus walking through the Galilean countryside, perhaps Capernaum, healing the sick. The characters are depicted realistically, and the scene is inspired by personal experiences, biblical texts, films and documentaries about the life of Jesus, and a work by Rembrandt. The depiction of characters and architecture reflects the atmosphere of the Middle East. The work is the result of a personal journey through the theme of God's mercy. Conceived as a monumental work, the painting seeks to encourage reflection on biblical accounts and God's mercy. A thought from the priest's sermon at a Mass that took place parallel to the creation of the work sums up the essence of the work nicely, and reads: "Jesus thinks of us".
