Description: In the background, Jesus exorcises a man, who is restrained by a group, while in the foreground a group brings their sick to a healer wearing an open robe who is flanked by a heretic and a demon. The Latin superscription reads, "In what way might one, speaking the truth, lie" and the text below, "Who has prevailed in lying by speaking out the truth? The trecherous, by whom mind is ambushed by true speech.".
