In Chapter 15, we have the 21 sets of words of Jesus which He spoke when performing His miracles. Fourteen of these sets include the words which He uttered when He per-formed the miracles of healing. The other seven are the words He spoke while performing or directly after) the miracles of supply, judgment, or preservation. It will be noted that Jesus did not always make seven statements when performing a miracle. He did so at the healing of the epileptic boy. He did at the healing of the demoniac. He also made seven statements in connection with the healing of the man born blind. But other miracles must be grouped together. Thus the healing of the Leper, and the healing of the Centurion's Servant make a complete set. Like-wise the healing of the Woman with the Issue of Blood and the raising of fairies' daughter include a group of seven savings.
