How many people were healed by touching the hem of the garment of Jesus? | ||||||

None can be supernaturally healed save by the power of God. Though the woman perceiving herself healed after touching the garment, she was healed by the power of God not by the touching of the garment. So the answer is, none. | ||||||

Yen, the obvious danger in putting too much emphasis on our faith to heal is, that it really doesn't depend on our faith at all whether or not God will, by His power, and His power alone, heal those who He desires to heal. In Mat 14:34-39 Jesus condescended to their request, but it was His power to heal, not their faith that did the healing. From such emphasis on faith to heal, many false charlatan healers have come to the front of cult belief in healing by faith, and that we somehow won't receive such healing for lack of faith. Many babes in Christ have had their faith shipwrecked by these charlatans. We must remember that most of those who Jesus healed were not born again believers, or believers at all. All they knew was that He could do it because they saw the evidence of His many miracles. Also when He healed, it was not just symptoms like what we see today, it was genuine organic diseases like, blindness, lameness, leprosy and palsy, not to mention demon possession, and even death itself. There is not a single doubt whatsoever that God has the power to heal anyone He choses at any time He choses, but, it is His power, not our faith that does the healing. John From gotquestions.org: Question: "What does the Bible say about healing?" Answer: Isaiah 53:5, which is then quoted in 1 Peter 2:24, is a key verse on healing, but it is often misunderstood and misapplied. “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.” The word translated “healed” can mean either spiritual or physical healing. However, the contexts of Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2 make it clear that it is speaking of spiritual healing. “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed” (1 Peter 2:24). The verse is talking about sin and righteousness, not sickness and disease. Therefore, being “healed” in both these verses is speaking of being forgiven and saved, not physically healed. The Bible does not specifically link physical healing with spiritual healing. Sometimes people are physically healed when they place their faith in Christ, but this is not always the case. Sometimes it is God’s will to heal, but sometimes it is not. The apostle John gives us the proper perspective: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him” (1 John 5:14-15). God still performs miracles. God still heals people. Sickness, disease, pain, and death are still realities in this world. Unless the Lord returns, everyone who is alive today will die, and the vast majority of them (Christians included) will die as the result of a physical problem (disease, sickness, injury). It is not always God’s will to heal us physically. Ultimately, our full physical healing awaits us in heaven. In heaven, there will be no more pain, sickness, disease, suffering, or death (Revelation 21). We all need to be less preoccupied with our physical condition in this world and a lot more concerned with our spiritual condition (Romans 12:1-2). Then we can focus our hearts on heaven where we will no longer have to deal with physical problems. Revelation 21:4 describes the true healing we should all be longing for: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” |

Dear John # 1) The woman that touched His garment. Mat 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; (THY FAITH HATH MADE THE WHOLE). And the woman was made whole from that hour. # 2) Blind man shouting, "Thou Son of David, have mercy on me". Mar 10:52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; (THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHILE). And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. # 3) The only leper out of the ten, returned giving him thanks: Luk 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: (THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE). Three different circumstances where JESUS said "Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole". Although we all understand God is always doing the healing, no matter what the mode of operation. As far as your reference to ( Isa. 53:5, 1 Pet. 2:24 ) there isn't any argument with your scriptures, the rendering of them are correct. They are speaking of the Spiritual healing, not the physical,.but the way you have placed them in this thread, they are just a case of muddying the water, your bringing apples to a topic about oranges. "Oh" by the way, my original question was only asked, because during a study I was conducting, I came across the scripture in Matt.14 it really intrigued me that I had never seen it in all of my years of reading the Bible, so I very innocently asked the question I did, in order to find out if anyone else on the Forum had ever seen it. I think from your response, you summed it up very nicely, my suspicions were correct. It wasn't a trick question, it was purely asked for information, knowledge, as any question posted should be. I always thought the woman was the only person ever healed in that manner, and apparently so did everyone else, but now we all know there were possible hundreds. I guess then in the long run, we have all learned something, and that is a good thing. When God can teach us something, it is always good isn't it? Have a Blessed Week YenIsaRap |

YenIsaRap, in the case of the woman and the leper, Jesus' statement was made after they were healed physically, so we should perhaps surmise that being made whole by faith, has not so much to do with the healing of the body, but the spirit. When it comes to studying the Scriptures for all they are worth, we sometimes find apples and oranges in the same basket. John |
