I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bind up the broken, and strengthen the weak; but the sleek and strong I will destroy. I will shepherd them with justice.’

I will heal their apostasy; I will freely love them, for My anger has turned away from them.

¹⁸ I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,

¹⁹ bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”

Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise.

So Naaman went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored and became like that of a little child, and he was clean.

²⁵ And Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a log. And when he cast it into the waters, they were sweetened. There the LORD made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them,

²⁶ saying, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and pay attention to His commands, and keep all His statutes, then I will not bring on you any of the diseases I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

¹⁴ Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.

¹⁵ And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

Is there no balm in Gilead? Is no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?

³ The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.

¹⁷ Fools, in their rebellious ways, and through their iniquities, suffered affliction.

¹⁸ They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death.

¹⁹ Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.

²⁰ He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the Pit.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

“Go back and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people that this is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. I will surely heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the house of the LORD.

Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds.

⁶ But Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

⁷ Taking him by the right hand, Peter helped him up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.

⁸ He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God.

³³ There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.

³⁴ “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up,

³⁵ and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.

⁸ In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.

⁹ This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.

¹⁰ In a loud voice Paul called out, “Stand up on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk.

⁵ One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

⁷ “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”

⁸ Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

⁹ Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

¹⁰ so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

³⁸ After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,

³⁹ and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

⁴⁰ At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

¹² While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

¹³ Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

¹⁴ “Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

¹⁵ But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

¹⁰ One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

¹¹ and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

¹² When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

¹³ Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.

⁴¹ “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”

⁴² “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”

⁴³ Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.

² Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

³ Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

¹⁴ When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

¹⁵ So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve them.

¹⁶ When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

¹⁷ This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took on our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

⁵ Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’

⁶ But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

⁷ And the man got up and went home.

²⁷ As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

²⁸ After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

²⁹ Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

³⁰ And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

³¹ But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

³² As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

¹³ Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.

¹⁴ But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

¹⁵ Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

¹⁶ warning them not to make Him known.

Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.

³³ “Lord,” they answered, “let our eyes be opened.”

³⁴ Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and at once they received their sight and followed Him.

³⁰ Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.

³¹ So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.

³² That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,

³³ and the whole town gathered at the door.

³⁴ And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

⁴⁰ Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

⁴¹ Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”

⁴² And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.

¹¹ “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

¹² And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
