In this typological window, the parable of the Good Samaritan is shown in three diamond-shaped panels (plus a lunette at the top showing the earthly city of Jerusalem, from where the traveller departs) reading from top to bottom down the central axis of the window. Each of these three panels is surrounded by four exegetically-linked scenes, which relate to life before the law, under the law and under grace.
