Above the main field of the wall with the depictions of women were several smaller scenes, only two of which had survived. The preserved scenes were about {{cvt|90|cm}} high and {{cvt|1.9|m}} wide in the lower part. In the lower third, there was a representation of water; it is possible this was an element connecting of all the scenes. [[Miracles of Jesus|Miracles performed by Jesus]] were depicted here. On the north wall, there were three figures. Standing in the middle and above the others was a man, probably Jesus. Below Jesus, on the right side was a man lying on a bed. On the left was a depiction of a man walking away carrying a bed on his shoulders, which researchers agreed was a depiction of the story of the healing of a paralyzed man told in Mark 2:1–12,<ref>{{bibleverse|Mark|2:1-12}}</ref> although there are other opinions on the interpretation of the scene.{{sfn|Kraeling|Welles|1967|pp=57-61}}

To the right of it, another scene shows two men walking on water, not a depiction of the story in which [[Jesus walks on water]] (a solo walk), which is told in Mark 6:45–61<ref>{{Bibleverse|Mark|6:45-61}}</ref> and in Matthew 14:22–34.<ref>{{Bibleverse|Matthew|14:22–34}}</ref> The scene was only partially preserved because the wall was torn down. In the background, there is a large ship with the apostles on board, who watch the two men. Five figures had been preserved:{{sfn|Kraeling|Welles|1967|pp=61-65}}
<blockquote>Christ encourages his apostle Peter to walk over a stormy sea as a ship carrying other apostles sails in the background. The image told viewers that, just as Christ saved Peter from drowning in the waters of Galilee, he would save baptized Christian souls through his death and resurrection.<ref>{{cite web |title=Baptistery wall painting: Christ Walking on Water |url=https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/34499 |website=artgallery.yale.edu |publisher=Yale University Art Gallery |access-date=20 December 2021}}</ref></blockquote>
