Luke 4: 16-21 (Amplified Bible)
So He came to Nazareth, [that Nazareth] where He had
been brought up, and He entered the synagogue, as
was His custom on the Sabbath day. And He stood up
to read.
And there was handed to Him [the roll of] the book
of the prophet Isaiah. He opened (unrolled) the book
and found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has
anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to
preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He
has sent Me to announce release to the captives and
recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as
delivered those who are oppressed [who are
downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by
calamity],
To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the
Lord [the day when salvation and the free favors of
God profusely abound.
Then He rolled up the book and gave it back to the
attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the
synagogue were gazing [attentively] at Him.
And He began to speak to them: Today this Scripture
has been fulfilled while you are present and
hearing.
Acts 10:38 (Amplified Bible)
How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth
with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability
and power: how He went about doing good and, in
particular, curing all who were harassed and
oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was
with Him.
Matthew 4:23-24 (Amplified Bible)
And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of
the kingdom, and healing every disease and every
weakness and infirmity among the people.
So the report of Him spread throughout all Syria,
and they brought Him all who were sick, those
afflicted with various diseases and torments, those
under the power of demons, and epileptics, and
paralyzed people, and He healed them.
Matthew 8:1-3 (Amplified Bible)
WHEN JESUS came down from the mountain, great
throngs followed Him.
And behold, a leper came up to Him and, prostrating
himself, worshiped Him, saying, Lord, if You are
willing, You are able to cleanse me by curing me.
And He reached out His hand and touched him, saying,
I am willing; be cleansed by being cured. And
instantly his leprosy was cured and cleansed.
Matthew 8:5-13 (Amplified Bible)
As Jesus went into Capernaum, a centurion came up to
Him, begging Him,
And saying, Lord, my servant boy is lying at the
house paralyzed and distressed with intense pains.
And Jesus said to him, I will come and restore him.
But the centurion replied to Him, Lord, I am not
worthy or fit to have You come under my roof; but
only speak the word, and my servant boy will be
cured.
For I also am a man subject to authority, with
soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, Go, and he
goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my
slave, Do this, and he does it.
When Jesus heard him, He marveled and said to those
who followed Him [who adhered steadfastly to Him,
conforming to His example in living and, if need be,
in dying also], I tell you truly, I have not found
so much faith as this with anyone, even in Israel.
I tell you, many will come from east and west, and
will sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in
the kingdom of heaven,
While the sons and heirs of the kingdom will be
driven out into the darkness outside, where there
will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
Then to the centurion Jesus said, Go; it shall be
done for you, as you have believed. And the servant
boy was restored to health at that very moment.
Matthew 8:14-17 (Amplified Bible)
And when Jesus went into Peter's house, He saw his
mother-in-law lying ill with a fever.
He touched her hand and the fever left her; and she
got up and began waiting on Him.
When evening came, they brought to Him many who were
under the power of demons, and He drove out the
spirits with a word and restored to health all who
were sick.
And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet
Isaiah, He Himself took [in order to carry away] our
weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our
diseases.
Matthew 8:28-34 (Amplified Bible)
And when He arrived at the other side in the country
of the Gadarenes, two men under the control of
demons went to meet Him, coming out of the tombs, so
fierce and savage that no one was able to pass that
way.
And behold, they shrieked and screamed, What have
You to do with us, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come
to torment us before the appointed time?
Now at some distance from there a drove of many hogs
was grazing.
And the demons begged Him, If You drive us out, send
us into the drove of hogs.
And He said to them, Begone! So they came out and
went into the hogs, and behold, the whole drove
rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in
the water.
The herdsmen fled and went into the town and
reported everything, including what had happened to
the men under the power of demons.
And behold, the whole town went out to meet Jesus;
and as soon as they saw Him, they begged Him to
depart from their locality.
Matthew 9:1-7 (Amplified Bible)
AND JESUS, getting into a boat, crossed to the other
side and came to His own town [Capernaum].
And behold, they brought to Him a man paralyzed and
prostrated by illness, lying on a sleeping pad; and
when Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralyzed
man, Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven and
the penalty remitted.
And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves,
This man blasphemes [He claims the rights and
prerogatives of God]!
But Jesus, knowing (seeing) their thoughts, said,
Why do you think evil and harbor malice in your
hearts?
For which is easier: to say, Your sins are forgiven
and the penalty remitted, or to say, Get up and
walk?
But in order that you may know that the Son of Man
has authority on earth to forgive sins and remit the
penalty, He then said to the paralyzed man, Get up!
Pick up your sleeping pad and go to your own house.
And he got up and went away to his own house.
Matthew 9:18-19, 23-26 (Amplified Bible)
While He was talking this way to them, behold, a
ruler entered and, kneeling down, worshiped Him,
saying, My daughter has just now died; but come and
lay Your hand on her, and she will come to life.
And Jesus got up and accompanied him, with His
disciples.
And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw the
flute players and the crowd making an uproar and
din,
He said, Go away; for the girl is not dead but
sleeping. And they laughed and jeered at Him.
But when the crowd had been ordered to go outside,
He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl
arose.
And the news about this spread through all that
district.
Matthew 9:20-22 (Amplified Bible)
And behold, a woman who had suffered from a flow of
blood for twelve years came up behind Him and
touched the fringe of His garment;
For she kept saying to herself, If I only touch His
garment, I shall be restored to health.
Jesus turned around and, seeing her, He said, Take
courage, daughter! Your faith has made you well. And
at once the woman was restored to health.
Matthew 9:27-29 (Amplified Bible)
As Jesus passed on from there, two blind men
followed Him, shouting loudly, Have pity and mercy
on us, Son of David!
When He reached the house and went in, the blind men
came to Him, and Jesus said to them, Do you believe
that I am able to do this? They said to Him, Yes,
Lord.
Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to
your faith and trust and reliance [on the power
invested in Me] be it done to you;
Matthew 9:32-33 (Amplified Bible)
And while they were going away, behold, a dumb man
under the power of a demon was brought to Jesus.
And when the demon was driven out, the dumb man
spoke; and the crowds were stunned with bewildered
wonder, saying, Never before has anything like this
been seen in Israel.
Matthew 9:35 (Amplified Bible)
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the
good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom and curing all
kinds of disease and every weakness and infirmity.
Matthew 10:1,7&8 (Amplified Bible)
AND JESUS summoned to Him His twelve disciples and
gave them power and authority over unclean spirits,
to drive them out, and to cure all kinds of disease
and all kinds of weakness and infirmity.
And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven
is at hand!
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers,
drive out demons. Freely (without pay) you have
received, freely (without charge) give.
Matthew 11:2-5 (Amplified Bible)
Now when John in prison heard about the activities
of Christ, he sent a message by his disciples
And asked Him, Are You the One Who was to come, or
should we keep on expecting a different one?
And Jesus replied to them, Go and report to John
what you hear and see:
The blind receive their sight and the lame walk,
lepers are cleansed (by healing) and the deaf hear,
the dead are raised up and the poor have good news
(the Gospel) preached to them.
Matthew 12:9-15 (Amplified Bible)
And going on from there, He went into their
synagogue.
And behold, a man was there with one withered hand.
And they said to Him, Is it lawful or allowable to
cure people on the Sabbath days?-that they might
accuse Him.
But He said to them, What man is there among you, if
he has only one sheep and it falls into a pit or
ditch on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and
lift it out?
How much better and of more value is a man than a
sheep! So it is lawful and allowable to do good on
the Sabbath days.
Then He said to the man, Reach out your hand. And
the man reached it out and it was restored, as sound
as the other one.
But the Pharisees went out and held a consultation
against Him, how they might do away with Him.
But being aware of this, Jesus went away from there.
And many people joined and accompanied Him, and He
cured all of them,
Matthew 12:22 (Amplified Bible)
Then a blind and dumb man under the power of a demon
was brought to Jesus, and He cured him, so that the
blind and dumb man both spoke and saw.
Matthew 13:54-58 (Amplified Bible)
And coming to His own country [Nazareth], He taught
in their synagogue so that they were amazed with
bewildered wonder, and said, Where did this Man get
this wisdom and these miraculous powers?
Is not this the carpenter's Son? Is not His mother
called Mary? And are not His brothers James and
Joseph and Simon and Judas?
And do not all His sisters live here among us? Where
then did this Man get all this?
And they took offense at Him [they were repelled and
hindered from acknowledging His authority, and
caused to stumble]. But Jesus said to them, A
prophet is not without honor except in his own
country and in his own house.
And He did not do many works of power there, because
of their unbelief (their lack of faith in the divine
mission of Jesus
Matthew 14:12-14 (Amplified Bible)
And John's disciples came and took up the body and
buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
When Jesus heard it, He withdrew from there
privately in a boat to a solitary place. But when
the crowds heard of it, they followed Him [by land]
on foot from the towns.
When He went ashore and saw a great throng of
people, He had compassion (pity and deep sympathy)
for them and cured their sick.
Matthew 14:34-36 (Amplified Bible)
And when they had crossed over to the other side,
they went ashore at Gennesaret.
And when the men of that place recognized Him, they
sent around into all the surrounding country and
brought to Him all who were sick
And begged Him to let them merely touch the fringe
of His garment; and as many as touched it were
perfectly restored.
Matthew 15:21-31 (Amplified Bible)
And going away from there, Jesus withdrew to the
district of Tyre and Sidon.
And behold, a woman who was a Canaanite from that
district came out and, with a [loud, troublesomely
urgent] cry, begged, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son
of David! My daughter is miserably and distressingly
and cruelly possessed by a demon!
But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples
came and implored Him, saying, Send her away, for
she is crying out after us.
He answered, I was sent only to the lost sheep of
the house of Israel.
But she came and, kneeling, worshiped Him and kept
praying, Lord, help me!
And He answered, It is not right (proper, becoming,
or fair) to take the children's bread and throw it
to the little dogs.
She said, Yes, Lord, yet even the little pups
(little whelps) eat the crumbs that fall from their
[young] masters' table.
Then Jesus answered her, O woman, great is your
faith! Be it done for you as you wish. And her
daughter was cured from that moment.
And Jesus went on from there and passed along the
shore of the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up into
the hills and kept sitting there.
And a great multitude came to Him, bringing with
them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and
many others, and they put them down at His feet; and
He cured them,
So that the crowd was amazed when they saw the dumb
speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking,
and the blind seeing; and they recognized and
praised and thanked and glorified the God of Israel.
Matthew 17:14-21 (Amplified Bible)
And when they approached the multitude, a man came
up to Him, kneeling before Him and saying,
Lord, do pity and have mercy on my son, for he has
epilepsy (is moonstruck) and he suffers terribly;
for frequently he falls into the fire and many times
into the water.
And I brought him to Your disciples, and they were
not able to cure him.
And Jesus answered, O you unbelieving (warped,
wayward, rebellious) and thoroughly perverse
generation! How long am I to remain with you? How
long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to Me.
And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him,
and the boy was cured instantly.
Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked
privately, Why could we not drive it out?
He said to them, Because of the littleness of your
faith [that is, your lack of firmly relying trust].
For truly I say to you, if you have faith [that is
living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to
this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and
it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
But this kind does not go out except by prayer and
fasting.
Matthew 20:29-34 (Amplified Bible)
And as they were going out of Jericho, a great
throng accompanied Him.
And behold, two blind men were sitting by the
roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing
by, they cried out, Lord, have pity and mercy on us,
[You] Son of David!
The crowds reproved them and told them to keep
still; but they cried out all the more, Lord, have
pity and mercy on us, [You] Son of David!
And Jesus stopped and called them, and asked, What
do you want Me to do for you?
They answered Him, Lord, we want our eyes to be
opened!
And Jesus, in pity, touched their eyes; and
instantly they received their sight and followed
Him.
Matthew 21:12-14 (Amplified Bible)
And Jesus went into the temple (whole temple
enclosure) and drove out all who bought and sold in
the sacred place, and He turned over the four-footed
tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of those
who sold doves.
He said to them, The Scripture says, My house shall
be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a
den of robbers.
And the blind and the lame came to Him in the
porches and courts of the temple, and He cured them.
