Analysis is breaking down an ancient text into smaller parts to bring out its meaning. We view an ancient text, in our case one of the Gospels, as a tapestry. An alternative model for grasping the meaning of a Gospel tapestry is suggested by Wittgenstein's explanation of how language works. A tapestry consists of stitches. A gospel consists of words.
Stitches have no meaning.
Words have no inherent meaning. The meaning of a stitch is its use. The meaning of a word is its use. Words can have dozens of uses. Their meaning is in a pattern.
