Quotes About Healing

On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.

Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”

So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”

So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.

When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ëWho touched Me?í”

But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.
