What does the Bible say about physical healing?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that physical healing demonstrates Jesus’ divine authority and power over sickness, ultimately pointing to spiritual healing.

In Matthew 4:23-25, Jesus' ministry was marked by both teaching and healing, underscoring His power to heal all manner of sickness and disease. However, the primary purpose of these physical healings was to provide evidence of His identity as the long-promised Messiah and to symbolize the spiritual healing He offers. Physical healing is never just about the physical; it signifies the greater reality of spiritual healing, which is essential for salvation. Jesus demonstrated this by healing the sick, not as an end in itself but to show His authority to forgive sins and save souls.
