What does the Bible say about infirmity?

Infirmity, as defined in Hebrews 5:2, signifies both physical and mental weaknesses that encircle us. This concept is essential in understanding the compassionate role of our High Priest, Jesus Christ, who Himself experienced such weaknesses. He was surrounded by the pain and suffering of others, healing the sick and bearing their infirmities as foretold in Isaiah 53:4. The acknowledgment of infirmity serves to remind us of our human condition and the profound empathy Christ has for us.
