Miracles of Healing and The Kingdom

Miracles of healing which Jesus performed are prominent in the gospel records. The gospel records are the first four books of the New Testament—Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Luke gives the following account of one occasion in Galilee, early in his ministry, when Jesus healed many of the people’s diseases:

...a great crowd of [Jesus’] disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon ...came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all – Luke 6:17-19.

Many people of all ages—young and old, men and women—were touched by his power to heal them from their afflictions of the flesh and spirit.

What patterns can be seen in the healing that Jesus provided to his fellow Jews — and on a few occasions, to Gentiles?
