He explains that we should believe because of the words of Jesus (13:34-16:10). However, a friend of Cook asked why we should believe based on words: words are simply words (16:11-17:45). Cook answers that Jesus’ deeds should give us reason to believe, yet his friend tells him that Jesus’ deeds are not compelling (17:46-20:56). Cook finally tells his friend words and deeds do not form the basis of his faith, but Jesus’ death on the cross (20:57-21:26). Another question is asked: what makes Jesus different from all the other Jews who were crucified? (21:27-22:32).
