Jesus is called Teacher forty-five times in the four Gospels during his earthly ministry, both by his disciples and by the people he taught in sermons and parables. In this icon He holds a book which represents the Gospel message. The Greek inscription at the top of the icon is a traditional abbreviation for “Jesus Christ, Son of God,” and the inscription in his halo stands for the Greek words “The One Who Is.”
