And Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed [sozo-meaning save, heal, made whole] you.

Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed [sozo-meaning save, heal, made whole]. 

Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved [sozo-meaning save, heal, made whole]

But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. Mark 16:16

Then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, arrived. 

         When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet, pleading fervently with him. “My little daughter is dying,” he said. “Please come and lay your hands on her; heal [sozo-meaning save, heal, made whole] her so she can live.” Mark 5:23

But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. 

But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. 

But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! 

When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. 

This brings great glory to my Father.

Yet more and more people believed and were brought to the Lord, crowds of both men and women. 

As a result of the apostles’ work, sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that Peter’s shadow might fall across some of them as he went by. Crowds came from the villages around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those possessed by evil spirits, and they were all healed.

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!”
