What does the Bible say about healing and infirmity?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible shows that Jesus' healing miracles are symbols of His divine mercy, illustrating His power over both physical and spiritual ailments.

In Luke 13:10-17, we see Jesus healing a woman who had been afflicted by a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. This act is not merely a display of power but serves to illustrate how Jesus, as the Messiah and deliverer, has the authority to heal the sick and to save souls. The healing of physical ailments reflects His ability to cure the deeper spiritual maladies that bind humanity. Jesus' miracles were meant to signify that He has the authority to provide for all our needs and rescue us from the bondage of sin and death, confirming His identity as our Redeemer and King.
