The Will of God Revisited

Below is a list of Jesus' healings in the Gospels, all 26 of them. It comes from a study I began during a time of ministry. Enjoy it.

  1. The Nobleman's Son (Jn 4:46).
  2. The Man with an Unclean Spirit ( Mk 1:21, Lu 4:31).
  3. Simon Peter's Mother-in-Law (Matt 8:14, Mk 1:29, Lu 4:38).
  4. The Healing of the Leper (Matt 8:1, Mk 1:40, Lu 5:12).
  5. The Healing of the Paralytic
