And so it would appear that the healing does not act upon itself even as the
light does not cause itself to be. So help me clarify my thinking. How is
this not passivef?

PS. I though I only moved the part I wanted to address up to the top and
left the other at the bottom.

  Charles,

  Please, PLEASE, don't delete all of the pertinent information (such as the
passage under discussion) when you reply -- trim it, yes.

  Yes, it refers to healing.  Jesus says,

  EGW ELQWN QERAPEUSW AUTON

  and the centurion replies

  ALLA MONON EIPE LOGWi, KAI hIAQHSETA hO PAIS MOU

  The light happens the Hebrew is

  WaY.o)MeR )e:LoHiYM Y:Hi )oWR WaY:Hi_)oWR

  God said, "Let light be," and light was.
