The following are references
in the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) about healings done by
Jesus Christ while in human form. There is a fundamental truth. Faith. People
coming to Him believing he is going to heal them or the sick they bring are healed. The ones who could not believe were not healed. How does faith
come? As it says in Romans 10:17: "... faith comes from hearing the
message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ."
Matthew 4: 23-24:
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the
good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the
people. News
about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill
with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those
having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them.
Matthew 8:2-17: A man
with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you
can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his
leprosy. Then
Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But
go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a
testimony to them.”When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a
centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he
said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”Jesus said to
him, “Shall I come and heal him?” The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under
my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I
tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to
my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard this, he
was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I
tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will
take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of
heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom
will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.” Then Jesus said to the
centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it
would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.
When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in
bed with a fever. He touched her hand and the fever
left her, and she got up and began to wait on him. When evening
came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the
spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was
to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our
infirmities and bore
our diseases.”
Matthew 8:28-34: When he arrived at
the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming
from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.
“What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here
to torture us before the appointed time?” Some distance from
them a large herd of pigs was feeding. The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send
us into the herd of pigs.” He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the
pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in
the water. Those tending the pigs ran
off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to
the demon-possessed men. Then the
whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him
to leave their region.
Matthew
9:2-8: Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw
their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” At this, some of the teachers of the
law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!” Knowing
their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? Which
is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But
I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” Then the man got up
and went home. When the crowd saw this, they were filled with
awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.
Matthew 9:18-33: While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and
knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your
hand on her, and she will live.” Jesus got up and went with
him, and so did his disciples. Just then a woman who had been
subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of
his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus
turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed
you.” And the woman was healed at that moment. When Jesus
entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing
pipes, he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But
they laughed at him. After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took
the girl by the hand, and she got up. News of this spread through all that
region. As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed
him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” When he had
gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe
that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then he
touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”;
and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows
about this.” But they went out and spread the news about him
all over that region. While they were going out, a man who was
demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. And when the demon was
driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said,
“Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
Matthew 10:1~ Jesus
called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure
spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
Matthew 10:8 ~ (Jesus saying to his
disciples) Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who
have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
Matthew 11:5 ~ (Jesus saying to John’s disciples)
The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the
deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.
Matthew 11:20-24: Then Jesus began
to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because
they did not repent. “Woe to you,
Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you
had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in
sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it
will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the
heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were performed
in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of
judgment than for you.”
Matthew 12:9-13: Going on from that place, he went
into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to
bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the
Sabbath?” He said to them, “If any of
you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold
of it and lift it out? How much more valuable is a
person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Then he said to the man, “Stretch
out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was
completely restored, just as sound as the other.
Matthew 12:15 ~ Aware
of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he
healed all who were ill.
Matthew 12:22 ~ Then they brought
him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that
he could both talk and see.
Matthew 13:53-58: When Jesus
had finished these parables, he moved on from there. Coming to his hometown, he began
teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this
man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and
aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren’t all
his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to
them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own
town and in his own home.” And he did
not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
Matthew 14:14 ~ When Jesus
landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Matthew 14:35-36: And when
the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding
country. People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just
touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
Matthew 15:21-31: Leaving
that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity
came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is
demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” Jesus did not answer a
word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps
crying out after us.” He answered, “I
was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” The
woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. He
replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread
and toss it to the dogs.” “Yes it is,
Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s
table.” Then Jesus said to her, “Woman,
you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her
daughter was healed at that moment. Jesus left there and went
along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down.
Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the
crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed
them. The people were amazed when they
saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind
seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.
Matthew 17:14-21: When they
came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. “Lord, have mercy
on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls
into the fire or into the water. I
brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.” “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with
you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy,
and he was healed at that moment. Then the disciples came to
Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He
replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell
you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for
you.”
Matthew 19:2 ~ Large crowds followed him, and he
healed them there.
Matthew 20:29-34: As Jesus
and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. Two blind men were sitting by the
roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son
of David, have mercy on us!” The crowd rebuked them and told
them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have
mercy on us!” Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he
asked. “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.” Jesus
had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their
sight and followed him.
Matthew 21:14 ~ The blind
and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.
Mark 1:23-25: Just then a
man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, “What do you want with us, Jesus of
Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” “Be quiet!” said Jesus
sternly. “Come out of him!” The
impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.
Mark 1:30-34: Simon’s
mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand and
helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them. That
evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and
demon-possessed. The whole town gathered at the door,
and Jesus healed many who had various
diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak
because they knew who he was.
Mark 1:39-45 ~ So he
traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out
demons. A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are
willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus was indignant. He
reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”
Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. Jesus
sent him away at once with a strong warning: “See that
you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer
the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to
them.” Instead he went out and began to talk freely,
spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but
stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from
everywhere.
Mark 2:1-12:
A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he
had come home. They
gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside
the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men
came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they
made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered
the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their
faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are
forgiven.” Now some teachers of the law
were sitting there, thinking to themselves, “Why does this
fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Immediately
Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts,
and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things?
Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are
forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? But
I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, “I tell you, get up,
take your mat and go home.” He got up,
took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and
they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
Mark 3:1-6:
Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was
there. Some
of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely
to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus
said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in
front of everyone.” Then Jesus asked
them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to
do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained
silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply
distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch
out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was
completely restored.
Mark 3:10 ~ For
he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch
him.
Mark 5:1-43:
They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. When
Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to
meet him. This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind
him anymore, not even with a chain.
For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the
chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to
subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and in the
hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones. When he saw
Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,
Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!” For Jesus had said to him, “Come
out of this man, you impure spirit!” Then
Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the
area. A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside.
The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to
go into them.” He gave them permission, and the impure
spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in
number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned. Those
tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the
people went out to see what had happened. When they
came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons,
sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the
demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. Then
the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region. As
Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to
go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done
for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” So the man
went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him.
And all the people were amazed. When Jesus had again crossed
over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him
while he was by the lake. Then one of the synagogue
leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.
He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying.
Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.”
So Jesus went with him. A large crowd
followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there
who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She
had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she
had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When
she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his
cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch his
clothes, I will be healed.” Immediately her bleeding
stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. At once
Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd
and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” “You see the people crowding against you,” his
disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched
me?’ ” But Jesus kept looking around to see who had
done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to
her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole
truth. He said to her, “Daughter,
your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of
Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother
the teacher anymore?” Overhearing what they said, Jesus told
him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” He did not let anyone follow him except Peter,
James and John the brother of James. When they came to
the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and
wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but
asleep.” But they laughed at him. After he put them all
out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him,
and went in where the child was. He took her by the
hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get
up!”). Immediately the girl
stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were
completely astonished. He gave strict orders not to let
anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
Mark 6:5-6: He
could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and
heal them. He was
amazed at their lack of faith.
Mark 6:13 ~
They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed
them.
Mark 6:56 ~
And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick
in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his
cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
Mark 7:24-35: Jesus left
that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not
want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. In fact, as soon as she heard about
him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and
fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian
Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter. “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take
the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” “Lord,”
she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” Then
he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon
has left your daughter.” She went home
and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone. Then
Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of
Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. There some people
brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus
to place his hand on him. After he took him aside, away from
the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched
the man’s tongue. He looked up to
heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). At this, the man’s ears were opened, his
tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
Mark 8:22-26: They came to
Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand
and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his
hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” He looked up and said, “I see people; they look
like trees walking around.” Once more Jesus put his hands on
the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw
everything clearly. Jesus sent him
home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.”
Mark 9:14-29: When they came to the other
disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law
arguing with them. As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with
wonder and ran to greet him. “What are
you arguing with them about?” he asked. A
man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by
a spirit that has robbed him of speech. Whenever it seizes
him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and
becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could
not.” “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “How long shall I stay with
you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it
immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled
around, foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” “From
childhood,” he answered. “It has often thrown him into
fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help
us.” “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one
who believes.” Immediately the boy’s
father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” When
Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and
came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.”
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and
he stood up. After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked
him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.”
Mark 10:46-52: Then they
came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were
leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was
sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it
was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on
me!” Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted
all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped
and said, “Call him.”So they
called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus
asked him.The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the
road.
Mark 16:17-18: (Jesus
saying) “And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name
they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick
up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will
not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and
they will get well.”
Luke 4:31-35: Then he went
down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people.
They were amazed at his teaching, because his
words had authority. In the synagogue there was a man possessed
by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, “Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” “Be quiet!” Jesus said
sternly. “Come out of him!” Then
the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.
Luke 4:38-41: Jesus left the
synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was
suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. So he bent over her
and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on
them. At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had
various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them.
Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are
the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because
they knew he was the Messiah.
Luke 5:12-13: While Jesus
was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he
saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you
are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand
and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”
And immediately the leprosy left him.
Luke 5:17-26: One day Jesus
was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They
had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the
power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. Some men came carrying a paralyzed
man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus.
When they could not find a way to do this because of the
crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles
into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. When
Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are
forgiven.” The Pharisees and the
teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who
speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Jesus
knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you
thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier:
to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to
forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been
lying on and went home praising God. Everyone was
amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have
seen remarkable things today.”
Luke 6:6-10: On another
Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose
right hand was shriveled. The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason
to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the
Sabbath. But Jesus knew what they were thinking and
said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and
stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood
there. Then Jesus said to them, “I ask
you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or
to destroy it?” He looked around at
them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your
hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored.
Luke 6:18-19: who had come
to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure
spirits were cured, and the people all tried to touch him, because
power was coming from him and healing them all.
Luke 7:2-15:
There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about
to die. The
centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to
come and heal his servant. When they came to Jesus,
they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this,
because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when
the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I
do not deserve to have you come under my roof. That is
why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and
my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under
authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that
one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When
Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him,
he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith
even in Israel.” Then the men who had
been sent returned to the house and found the servant well. Soon afterward,
Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went
along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead
person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.
And a large crowd from the town was with her. When the
Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t
cry.” Then he went up and touched the
bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” The dead
man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
Luke
7:21-22: At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and
evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. So he replied
to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you
have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have
leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is
proclaimed to the poor.
Luke 8:26-56: They sailed to the region of the
Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee. When
Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a
long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in
the tombs. When
he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his
voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you,
don’t torture me!” For
Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had
seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he
had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. Jesus
asked him, “What is your name?” “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. And they begged Jesus
repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. A
large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus
to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. When the demons came out of
the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into
the lake and was drowned. When those tending the pigs
saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and
countryside, and the people went out to see
what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the
demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and
they were afraid. Those
who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured.
Then all the people of the region of the
Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So
he got into the boat and left. The man from whom the
demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
“Return home and tell
how much God has done for you.” So the man went away
and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him. Now
when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue
leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house
because his only
daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way,
the crowds almost crushed him. And a woman was there who had been subject to
bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and
touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. “Who touched me?” Jesus
asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are
crowding and pressing against you.” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.” Then
the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at
his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him
and how she had been instantly healed. Then he said to her, “Daughter,
your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” While
Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue
leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”5Hearing
this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just
believe, and she will be healed.” When
he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except
Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother. Meanwhile, all the people
were wailing and mourning for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.” They
laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!” Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then
Jesus told them to give her something to eat. Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them
not to tell anyone what had happened.
Luke 9:1-2: When Jesus had
called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all
demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to
proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Luke 9:11 ~ but the crowds
learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the
kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.
Luke 9:37-43: The next day,
when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. A
man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is
my only child. A
spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so
that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.
I begged your disciples
to drive it out, but they could not.” “You
unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “How long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son
here.” Even while the boy was
coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked
the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father.
And they were all
amazed at the greatness of God.
Luke 10:9 ~ Heal the sick who are there and tell
them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
Luke 10:13-15: “Woe
to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed
in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago,
sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more bearable for
Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you
will go down to Hades.
Luke 11:14 ~ Jesus was driving out a demon that
was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd
was amazed.
Luke 13:10-13: On a Sabbath
Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman
was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent
over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said
to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.”
Then he put his hands on her, and
immediately she straightened up and praised God.
Luke 13:32 ~ He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on
driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day
I will reach my goal.’
Luke 14:1-4: One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat
in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched. There in front
of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. Jesus
asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it
lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?” But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed
him and sent him on his way.
Luke 17:12-19: As he was
going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance
and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus,
Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as
they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw
he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’
feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus
asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other
nine? Has
no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
Luke 18:35-43: As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind
man was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard the crowd going
by, he asked what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He
called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Those
who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the
more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus
stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked
him, “What do you want me
to do for you?” “Lord, I want to see,” he
replied. Jesus said to him, “Receive
your sight; your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising
God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.
Luke 22:50-51: And one of
them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. But
Jesus answered, “No
more of this!”
And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
John 4:46-53: Once more he
visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was
a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When this man
heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged
him to come and heal his son, who was close to death. “Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.” The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my
child dies.” “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.”The man took Jesus at his word and departed. While he was still on the way, his servants met him
with the news that his boy was living. When he inquired as to the time when his son got
better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left
him.” Then the father realized that this was the exact
time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will
live.” So he and his whole household believed.
John 5:5-15:
One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw
him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time,
he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help
me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in,
someone else goes down ahead of me.” Then Jesus said to
him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his
mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, and
so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath;
the law forbids you to carry your mat.” But
he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick
up your mat and walk.’” So they
asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?” The
man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the
crowd that was there. Later Jesus found him at the
temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop
sinning or something worse may happen to you.” The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that
it was Jesus who had made him well.
John 9:1-7: As
he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His
disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was
born blind?” “Neither this man
nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
As long as it is day, we must do the
works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the
world.” After
saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it
on the man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home
seeing.
John 11:43-44: When he had
said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The
dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth
around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off
the grave clothes and let him go.”
