What does the Bible say about the sick needing a physician?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that those who are well do not need a physician, but those who are sick (Luke 5:31).

In Luke 5:31, Jesus explains that only the sick need a physician, illustrating the nature of His mission. He came not for the righteous, but for sinners who recognize their need for healing and repentance. This understanding reveals the depth of our sin condition; we are spiritually sick and incapable of saving ourselves. Just like in the physical realm where people only seek medical help when they are ill, spiritually, only those who acknowledge their sinfulness will seek the healing power of Christ. This highlights the importance of recognizing our need for salvation and the role of Jesus as the sole healer of our souls.
