Jesus' power to heal is affirmed through numerous miracles documented in the Gospels, showcasing His divine authority.
The record of Jesus’ miracles, such as the healing of the man at the pool of Bethesda, serves to demonstrate His divine nature and authority. In John 5:8-14, Jesus not only heals physically but also emphasizes the necessity of spiritual wholeness, advising the healed man to sin no more. This twofold aspect of His ministry underscores that Jesus' healing goes beyond the physical realm, calling individuals to a deeper faith and repentance. The consistency of these accounts across the Gospels corroborates their authenticity, showing that Jesus fulfills Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah who heals (Isaiah 53:5).
