Mini-quiz on the Gospels

I discovered something quite intriguing as I was working today to prepare a lecture on Christology (the study of Jesus Christ).

How many times does the word "savior" appear in the four Gospels?
How many times does the word "teacher" appear in the four Gospels?

Jesus is called "Savior" twice in the Gospel, while He is called "Teacher" more than 40 times. Jesus is indeed our Savior. But do we, who are happy to be saved from our sins and from hell, equally think of Him as our Teacher? He is both.
