The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14, TNIV re: Jesus

John 17:6-8, TNIV

the master demonstrates proper procedure through action; his or her display becomes the guide.
Richard Sennett, The Craftsman, p181

Jesus in Matthew 4:19, TNIV
