What does the Bible say about the healing power of Jesus?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that Jesus possesses divine authority to heal, demonstrating His power over both physical ailments and spiritual sickness.
In the account of Matthew 9:18-26, we witness Jesus perform two significant miracles of healing. This not only illustrates His compassion for human suffering but also showcases His authority over life and death. The woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years displayed remarkable faith in reaching out to touch His garment, believing that this act would heal her. Jesus' response to her, 'Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole,' highlights that while it was her faith that prompted her to seek Him, it was ultimately Jesus Himself who healed her. Similarly, when Jairus sought Jesus to heal his daughter who was dead, Jesus demonstrated His power over death by raising her to life. These miracles affirm Jesus as the Savior who is capable of restoring not just physical health but also spiritual well-being.
