JESUS healing the blind

 

John 6:1-2

King James Version

6 After these things 

Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, 

which is the sea of Tiberias.

2 And a great multitude followed him, 

because they saw his miracles 

which he did on them that were diseased.

It is striking in the gospel according to John, that he devoted a whole chapter on Jesus healing the blind.

Of course, blindness comes in many forms, as you soon shall see.

John 9

King James Version

9 And as Jesus passed by, 

he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, 

saying, 

Master, 

who did sin, 

this man, 

or his parents, 

that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, 

Neither hath this man sinned, 

nor his parents: 

but that the works of God 

should be made manifest in him.

4 I must work the works of him that sent me, 

while it is day: 

the night cometh, 

when no man can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, 

I am the light of the world.

6 When he had thus spoken, 

he spat on the ground, 

and made clay of the spittle, 

and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

7 And said unto him, 

Go, 

wash in the pool of Siloam, 

(which is by interpretation, Sent.) 

He went his way therefore, 

and washed, 

and came seeing.

8 The neighbours therefore, 

and they which before had seen him that he was blind, 

said, 

Is not this he that sat and begged?

9 Some said, 

This is he: 

others said, 

He is like him: 

but he said, 

I am he.

10 Therefore said they unto him, 

How were thine eyes opened?

11 He answered and said, 

A man that is called Jesus made clay, 

and anointed mine eyes, 

and said unto me, 

Go to the pool of Siloam, 

and wash: 

and I went and washed, 

and I received sight.

12 Then said they unto him, 

Where is he? 

He said, 

I know not.

13 They brought to the Pharisees him 

that aforetime was blind.

14 And it was the sabbath day 

when Jesus made the clay, 

and opened his eyes.

15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him 

how he had received his sight. 

He said unto them, 

He put clay upon mine eyes, 

and I washed, 

and do see.

16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, 

This man is not of God, 

because he keepeth not the sabbath day. 

Others said, 

How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? 

And there was a division among them.

17 They say unto the blind man again, 

What sayest thou of him, 

that he hath opened thine eyes? 

He said, 

He is a prophet.

18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, 

that he had been blind, 

and received his sight, 

until they called the parents of him 

that had received his sight.

19 And they asked them, 

saying, 

Is this your son, 

who ye say was born blind? 

how then doth he now see?

20 His parents answered them and said, 

We know that this is our son, 

and that he was born blind:

21 But by what means he now seeth, 

we know not; 

or who hath opened his eyes, 

we know not: 

he is of age; 

ask him: 

he shall speak for himself.

22 These words spake his parents, 

because they feared the Jews: 

or the Jews had agreed already, 

that if any man did confess that he was Christ, 

he should be put out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore said his parents, 

He is of age; 

ask him.

24 Then again called they the man that was blind, 

and said unto him, 

Give God the praise: 

we know that this man is a sinner.

25 He answered and said, 

Whether he be a sinner or no, 

I know not: 

one thing I know, 

that, 

whereas I was blind, 

now I see.

26 Then said they to him again, 

What did he to thee? 

how opened he thine eyes?

27 He answered them, 

I have told you already, 

and ye did not hear: 

wherefore would ye hear it again? 

will ye also be his disciples?

28 Then they reviled him, 

and said, 

Thou art his disciple; 

but we are Moses' disciples.

29 We know that God spake unto Moses: 

as for this fellow, 

we know not from whence he is.

30 The man answered and said unto them, 

Why herein is a marvellous thing, 

that ye know not from whence he is, 

and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: 

but if any man be a worshipper of God, 

and doeth his will, 

him he heareth.

32 Since the world began was it not heard 

that any man opened the eyes of one 

that was born blind.

33 If this man were not of God, 

he could do nothing.

34 They answered and said unto him, 

Thou wast altogether born in sins, 

and dost thou teach us? 

And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; 

and when he had found him, 

he said unto him, 

Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, 

Who is he, 

Lord, 

that I might believe on him?

37 And Jesus said unto him, 

Thou hast both seen him, 

and it is he that talketh with thee.

38 And he said, 

Lord, 

I believe. 

And he worshipped him.

39 And Jesus said, 

For judgment I am come into this world, 

that they which see not might see; 

and that they which see might be made blind.

40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, 

and said unto him, 

Are we blind also?

41 Jesus said unto them, 

If ye were blind, 

ye should have no sin: 

but now ye say, 

We see; 

therefore your sin remaineth.

The deaf, dumb, and devils

 

James 2:19

King James Version

19 Thou believest that there is one God; 

thou doest well: 

the devils also believe, 

and tremble.

On the gospel according to Mark, I noticed he spoke of Jesus healing people from deafness, dumbness, and devils.

Even as early as the first chapter, he already spoke of how Jesus healed.

Mark 1:32-35

King James Version

32 And at even, 

when the sun did set, 

they brought unto him all that were diseased, 

and them that were possessed with devils.

33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.

34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases,

 and cast out many devils; 

and suffered not the devils to speak, 

because they knew him.

35 And in the morning, 

rising up a great while before day, 

he went out, 

and departed into a solitary place, 

and there prayed.

Mark 3:9-12

King James Version

9 And he spake to his disciples, 

that a small ship should wait on him 

because of the multitude, 

lest they should throng him.

10 For he had healed many; 

insomuch that they pressed upon him 

for to touch him, 

as many as had plagues.

11 And unclean spirits, 

when they saw him, 

fell down before him, 

and cried, 

saying, 

Thou art the Son of God.

12 And he straitly charged them 

that they should not make him known.

Mark 7:24-30

King James Version

24 And from thence he arose, 

and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, 

and entered into an house, 

and would have no man know it: 

but he could not be hid.

25 For a certain woman, 

whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, 

heard of him, 

and came and fell at his feet:

26 The woman was a Greek, 

a Syrophenician by nation; 

and she besought him 

that he would cast forth the devil 

out of her daughter.

27 But Jesus said unto her, 

Let the children first be filled: 

for it is not meet to take the children's bread, 

and to cast it unto the dogs.

28 And she answered and said unto him, 

Yes, 

Lord: 

yet the dogs under the table 

eat of the children's crumbs.

29 And he said unto her, 

For this saying go thy way; 

the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

30 And when she was come to her house, 

she found the devil gone out, 

and her daughter laid upon the bed.

Mark 7:31-37

King James Version

31 And again, 

departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, 

he came unto the sea of Galilee, 

through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, 

and had an impediment in his speech; 

and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

33 And he took him aside from the multitude, 

and put his fingers into his ears, 

and he spit, 

and touched his tongue;

34 And looking up to heaven, 

he sighed, 

and saith unto him, 

Ephphatha, 

that is, 

Be opened.

35 And straightway his ears were opened, 

and the string of his tongue was loosed, 

and he spake plain.

36 And he charged them 

that they should tell no man: 

but the more he charged them, 

so much the more a great deal they published it;

37 And were beyond measure astonished, 

saying, 

He hath done all things well: 

he maketh both the deaf to hear, 

and the dumb to speak.

The next post speaks of the gospel according to John, wherein he revealed in one whole chapter how Jesus healed the blind.

The physician on THE PHYSICIAN

 Luke 6:7

King James Version

7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, 

whether he would heal on the sabbath day; 

that they might find an accusation against him.

It takes a physician, to understand another physician.

And yet Luke was a man; and JESUS, was the SON of GOD.

It must have been doubly exciting for this physician, to observe THE ULTIMATE PHYSICIAN.

Here are verses which speak of the power of God in His Son, Jesus:

Luke 4:33-37

King James Version

33 And in the synagogue there was a man, 

which had a spirit of an unclean devil, 

and cried out with a loud voice,

34 Saying, 

Let us alone; 

what have we to do with thee, 

thou Jesus of Nazareth? 

art thou come to destroy us? 

I know thee who thou art; 

the Holy One of God.

35 And Jesus rebuked him, 

saying, 

Hold thy peace, 

and come out of him. 

And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, 

he came out of him, 

and hurt him not.

36 And they were all amazed, 

and spake among themselves, 

saying, 

What a word is this! 

for with authority and power 

he commandeth the unclean spirits, 

and they come out.

37 And the fame of him went out into every place 

of the country round about.

Luke 4:38-39

King James Version

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, 

and entered into Simon's house. 

And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; 

and they besought him for her.

39 And he stood over her, 

and rebuked the fever; 

and it left her: 

and immediately she arose 

and ministered unto them.

Luke 4:40

King James Version

40 Now when the sun was setting, 

all they that had any sick with divers diseases 

brought them unto him; 

and he laid his hands on every one of them, 

and healed them.

Luke 5:12-14

King James Version

12 And it came to pass, 

when he was in a certain city, 

behold a man full of leprosy: 

who seeing Jesus fell on his face, 

and besought him, saying, 

Lord, 

if thou wilt, 

thou canst make me clean.

13 And he put forth his hand, 

and touched him, 

saying, 

I will: 

be thou clean. 

And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

14 And he charged him to tell no man: 

but go, 

and shew thyself to the priest, 

and offer for thy cleansing, 

according as Moses commanded, 

for a testimony unto them.

Luke 5:15

King James Version

15 But so much the more went there a fame 

abroad of him: 

and great multitudes came together to hear, 

and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

Luke 5:17

King James Version

17 And it came to pass on a certain day, 

as he was teaching, 

that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, 

which were come out of every town of Galilee, 

and Judaea, and Jerusalem: 

and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

Luke 5:18-20

King James Version

18 And, 

behold, 

men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: 

and they sought means to bring him in, 

and to lay him before him.

19 And when they could not find 

by what way they might bring him in 

because of the multitude, 

they went upon the housetop, 

and let him down through the tiling with his couch 

into the midst before Jesus.

20 And when he saw their faith, 

he said unto him, 

Man, 

thy sins are forgiven thee.

Luke 6:17-19

King James Version

17 And he came down with them, 

and stood in the plain, 

and the company of his disciples, 

and a great multitude of people 

out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, 

and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, 

which came to hear him, 

and to be healed of their diseases;

18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: 

and they were healed.

19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: 

for there went virtue out of him, 

and healed them all.

Luke 9:10-11

King James Version

10 And the apostles, 

when they were returned, 

told him all that they had done. 

And he took them, 

and went aside privately into a desert place 

belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

11 And the people, 

when they knew it, 

followed him: 

and he received them, 

and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, 

and healed them that had need of healing.

Luke 9:37-45

King James Version

37 And it came to pass, 

that on the next day, 

when they were come down from the hill, 

much people met him.

38 And, 

behold, 

a man of the company cried out, 

saying, 

Master, 

I beseech thee, 

look upon my son: 

for he is mine only child.

39 And, 

lo, 

a spirit taketh him, 

and he suddenly crieth out; 

and it teareth him that he foameth again, 

and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; 

and they could not.

41 And Jesus answering said, 

O faithless and perverse generation, 

how long shall I be with you, 

and suffer you? 

Bring thy son hither.

42 And as he was yet a coming, 

the devil threw him down, 

and tare him. 

And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, 

and healed the child, 

and delivered him again to his father.

43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. 

But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, 

he said unto his disciples,

44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: 

for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

45 But they understood not this saying, 

and it was hid from them, 

that they perceived it not: 

and they feared to ask him of that saying.

The next post will share verses from the gospel according to Mark.

How JESUS healed

 

Psalm 30:2

King James Version

2 O Lord my God, 

I cried unto thee, 

and thou hast healed me.

As with all things from the Holy Spirit, inspiration is instantly given to me while praying.

I was thinking of my late father, a physician-surgeon, who had faithfully served many people.

It's been 21 years, but the memory of my father remains.

I found myself praying early this morning to Jesus, to please keep my father by His side, free of pain forever.

Before the prayer was even finished, the Holy Spirit inspired me with THREE words:

"How JESUS healed."

I knew I had to get up, no matter that it was half past one in the morning.

I had to search Scripture.

In searching, I found a WEALTH of material on the LORD's healings.

I expect to create more articles about this, as Spirit prompts me.

As always, Spirit guided me on the theme, the tone, and the order.

We will all witness GOD's GLORY, through JESUS.

This is how JESUS healed, according to Matthew:

Matthew 8:16-17

King James Version

16 When the even was come, 

they brought unto him many 

that were possessed with devils: 

and he cast out the spirits with his word, 

and healed all that were sick:

17 That it might be fulfilled 

which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, 

saying, 

Himself took our infirmities, 

and bare our sicknesses.

Matthew 9:20-22

King James Version

20 And, behold, 

a woman, 

which was diseased 

with an issue of blood twelve years, 

came behind him, 

and touched the hem of his garment:

21 For she said within herself, 

If I may but touch his garment, 

I shall be whole.

22 But Jesus turned him about, 

and when he saw her, 

he said, 

Daughter, 

be of good comfort; 

thy faith hath made thee whole. 

And the woman was made whole 

from that hour.

Matthew 9:27-31

King James Version

27 And when Jesus departed thence, 

two blind men followed him, 

crying, 

and saying, 

Thou son of David, 

have mercy on us.

28 And when he was come into the house, 

the blind men came to him: 

and Jesus saith unto them, 

Believe ye that I am able to do this? 

They said unto him, 

Yea, Lord.

29 Then touched he their eyes, 

saying, 

According to your faith be it unto you.

30 And their eyes were opened; 

and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, 

See that no man know it.

31 But they, 

when they were departed, 

spread abroad his fame in all that country.

Matthew 9:32-33

King James Version

32 As they went out, 

behold, 

they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

33 And when the devil was cast out, 

the dumb spake: 

and the multitudes marvelled, 

saying, 

It was never so seen in Israel.

Matthew 9:35

King James Version

35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, 

teaching in their synagogues, 

and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, 

and healing every sickness 

and every disease among the people.

Matthew 12:14-21

King James Version

14 Then the Pharisees went out, 

and held a council against him, 

how they might destroy him.

15 But when Jesus knew it, 

he withdrew himself from thence: 

and great multitudes followed him, 

and he healed them all;

16 And charged them that they should not make him known:

17 That it might be fulfilled 

which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, 

saying,

18 Behold my servant, 

whom I have chosen; 

my beloved, 

in whom my soul is well pleased: 

I will put my spirit upon him, 

and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

19 He shall not strive, 

nor cry; 

neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

20 A bruised reed shall he not break, 

and smoking flax shall he not quench, 

till he send forth judgment unto victory.

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

Matthew 12:22

King James Version

22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil,

they came into the land of Gennesaret.

35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him,

and brought unto him all that were diseased;

36 And besought him that they might only touch 

the hem of his garment: 

and as many as touched 

were made perfectly whole.

Matthew 15:29-31

King James Version

and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee;

and sat down there.

30 And great multitudes came unto him, 

having with them those that were lame, 

blind, 

dumb, 

maimed, 

and many others, 

and cast them down at Jesus' feet; 

and he healed them:

31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, 

when they saw the dumb to speak, 

the maimed to be whole, 

the lame to walk, 

and the blind to see: 

and they glorified the God of Israel.

Matthew 21:14-16

King James Version

14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; 

and he healed them.

15 And when the chief priests and scribes 

saw the wonderful things that he did, 

and the children crying in the temple, 

and saying, 

Hosanna to the son of David; 

they were sore displeased,

16 And said unto him, 

Hearest thou what these say? 

And Jesus saith unto them, 

Yea; 

have ye never read, 

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings 

thou hast perfected praise?

And where does the Lord get His power from?

JESUS confirms it Himself:

Matthew 28:18

King James Version

18 And Jesus came 

and spake unto them, 

saying, 

All power is given unto me 

in heaven and in earth.
