Can we create a visual filter on what Jesus does?

Dear Community,  My Bible Professor wished they made a New Testament where the actions of Jesus were highlighted in Green, to match how his words are highlighted in red.  How do I do this?

The morphology searches seem to be too specific, as I don't want to look for only one verb, and Concordance feature seems to general by listing verbs, but not actions performed by Jesus.  A Clause search could be used but the results seem to not be converted into a visual filter.  Is there an answer?

    I gave you an answer - with a screen shot of what is possible - on a previous thread. I know of no way to get precisely what you want.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Thank you M.J., I did not know if you reflected the best guess and someone else in the desktop app would have an alternate suggestion, or if your findings were conclusive.  If they are conclusive can we move this concept along the idea pipeline to future LOGOS development updates?

    I would hope someone has a better suggestion.

    We could certainly add a request to Roadmap | Logos. The existing Visual Filter for Syntax and Clause searches | Logos would make it possible but one might want to ask for something more specific.

    There are verbs from which you can select a dataset e.g. teaching, healing, miracles. They overlap but this query will reduce resolve that:

    Person:Jesus IN term:(culture:Teaching OR culture:Healing OR literaryTyping:Healing OR miracle:(agent:person:Jesus))

    Other possible terms to add would be preachingTheme:Discipleship

    Just right-click a verb and look down the left side of the menu.

    To see other possibilities, run a negation query:  Person:Jesus NOT IN term:(....
