" If we turn to the Gospels we are bound to note the indissoluble nexus between deeds and words. A very large part of the first three Gospels is occupied with the acts of Jesus — acts of healing, of exorcism, of feeding the hungry. And while in the Fourth Gospel there is a larger proportion of teaching, yet most of this teaching is explanatory of something Jesus has done: the healing of a paralytic, the feeding of a multitude, the giving of sight to a blind man, and the raising of a man from death.
