What does the Bible say about Jesus being a physician?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible depicts Jesus as the Great Physician who came to heal the sick and save sinners from their sins.

In Matthew 9:12, Jesus states, 'They that behold need not a physician, but they that are sick.' This illustrates His purpose for coming into the world, which is to save His people from their sins. The imagery of a physician is used to indicate that just as a doctor is needed for those who are physically sick, Jesus is essential for those who are spiritually sick. He rebuked the Pharisees for their self-righteousness, making it clear that true spiritual health comes from acknowledging one's sickness and need for Him.
