Ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος αὐτοῖς ἰδοὺ

[jkgayle]

Is this turn in the story a hint that the parables or proverbs Jesus has been chatting about are to be read as forecasting the healings he is about to do? Can the parables be read as literary preparations for believers to grasp what are presented as literal historical healings?
