How do we know Jesus has the authority to heal?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus' healing miracles, coupled with His teachings, reveal His divine authority as the Son of God.

The authority of Jesus is established through His teachings and miraculous works, as seen in Matthew 7:29, where it says He taught with authority, not like the scribes. His miracles, including the healing of the leper, bear witness to His divine identity. Jesus, as the Son of God, possesses the power to heal and forgive sins. This is emphasized in the way He interacted with those suffering, showing not just the ability to heal physically but also the authority to restore spiritually. His compassionate response to the leper demonstrates a sovereign grace that transcends societal laws and expectations.
