Bible Question: Why bring a sick to Jesus? At this time Jesus hasnt healed anyone yet short of casting away a demon? |
Bible Answer: Dear WIP, Welcome to the forum. Jesus' prior healing or miracles were also recorded in Mathew 4:23-25. After His discourse on the beatitudes through Ch 5-7, He healed a leper and a centurion's servant in Ch 8 before healing Peter's mother-in-law. See also Luke 4:16-24 applied the text of Isaiah (v 18) to himself as Matthew Henry put it: [Here is Christ's application of this text to himself (v. 21): When he had read it, he rolled up the book, and gave it again to the minister, or clerk, that attended, and sat down, according to the custom of the Jewish teachers; he sat daily in the temple, teaching, Mt. 26:55. Now he began his discourse thus, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. This, which Isaiah wrote by way of prophecy, I have now read to you by way of history." It now began to be fulfilled in Christ's entrance upon his public ministry; now, IN THE REPORT THEY HEARD OF HIS PREACHING AND MIRACLES IN OTHER PLACES; NOW, IN HIS PREACHING TO THEM IN THEIR OWN SYNAGOGUE.] Hope the above helpful.
