What does the Bible say about healing by Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible shows that Jesus performed healing miracles as confirmations of His identity as the Son of God.

In the Gospels, Jesus' healing miracles serve as a testament to His divine authority and identity. For instance, in Matthew 4:23-25, it is noted that Jesus healed 'all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.' This pattern is reinforced when John the Baptist sends his disciples to inquire about Jesus' identity, to which Jesus responds by highlighting the miracles He performed, including healing the blind and the lame (Luke 7:18-22). These miracles not only address physical ailments but symbolize the deeper spiritual healing He offers, aligning with Old Testament prophecies that spoke of the Messiah's power. Hence, Christ's healing acts confirm His divine mission and serve as a foreshadowing of the ultimate spiritual restoration He brings to sinners.
