There are many such moments that aren’t mentioned in the gospels but whose presence and reality you can intuit, or feel, from the style of the writing, which I think is best described as reportage, or journalism, at least in those parts concerned with actions or events, and instances of dialogue, though it is true that the gospels are meant to function as evangelical documents. What I mean is that, even though much of what is described in the gospels is supernatural, it is recorded or communicated without sentimentality, but rather with a kind of coolness or detachment, and with the journalistic principle that one should refrain from editorializing, and instead allow events to speak for themselves. This remains true, I think, even if one doubts the veracity or historicity of the events described.
