What does the Bible say about Jesus as a physician?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes Jesus as a physician for souls, emphasizing His grace in healing and saving sinners.

In Mark 2:17, Jesus states, 'It is not the healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.' This illustrates His fundamental role in offering spiritual healing to those aware of their sinfulness. Just as a physician tends to the physical ailments of patients, Jesus addresses the spiritual sickness of humanity, performing the greatest miracle of all—salvation. His coming into the world is depicted as a divine act of love and mercy toward those lost in their sins, emphasizing the gracious nature of His ministry and the transformative power of His calling, as evidenced in the calling of Matthew, a notorious sinner.
Scripture References: Mark 2:13-22, Mark 2:17, John 1:5
