He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them.

All the people saw him walking and heard him praising God.

One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. 

When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!”  Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God!

And immediately, as everyone watched, the man jumped up, picked up his mat, and went home praising God. 

 Everyone was gripped with great wonder and awe, and they praised God, exclaiming, “We have seen amazing things today!”

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?  

You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

John answered their questions by saying, “I baptize you with water; but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am, so much greater that I’m not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.

Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.

But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.

And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.

Let all that I am praise the Lord;
    may I never forget the good things 
    he does for me.
  He forgives all my sins
    and heals all my diseases.

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
    Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
Then you will have healing for your body
    and strength for your bones.

When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.

And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”

This fulfilled the word of the Lord 
through the prophet Isaiah, who said,

         “He took our sicknesses                 
              and removed our diseases.”

Then you will ask in my name. I’m not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf, for the Father himself loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from God.

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

He personally carried our sins     
    in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
    and live for what is right.
By his wounds
    you are healed

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.

Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.

When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a on a cross.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, 
and forever.

A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed. “If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean,” he said. 

Moved with compassion,  Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Instantly the leprosy disappeared, and the man was healed. 

Then Jesus sent him on his way with a stern warning: “Don’t tell anyone about this.

 That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick.  This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said,  “He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.

 And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God.  I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. 

But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.I tell you, you can pray for anything, [according to the will of God] and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.'

You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?  Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not!   So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
