Replying to@iris_smith_186
Let's not rush into asserting such a decisive standardization between healing and teaching on the mountain. The relationship is too often seen as intrinsic, but it relies on underlying conditions. Such a link is robust only if the crowd fully understood the theological significance of healing, beyond mere manifestation. Otherwise, the effect of standardization is contingent: if the crowd focuses solely on the miraculous aspect, the message of the Kingdom of God could be diverted. For example, if the listeners see only a demonstration of power and not a sign of divine love, the articulation between the two events is fundamentally weakened.
