Types of Healings by Jesus

 Types of Healings by Jesus

There are 44 recorded incidents of healings by Jesus in the first 4 books of the New Testament.  The table below, “Scriptures, Name of Healings and Healing Categories for Each” lists them by scripture, the most common name associated with the healing and the categories recorded in those scriptures. 

Eight of the incidents appear to be the same story with negligible differences from those in the books and chapters before them.  If the number of persons healed or the body part healed was different, they were not counted as a repeat.  The second or third telling of the incidents are noted as “Possible Repeat Incident”. To call an incident a “repeat” is a counting mechanism only; it does not indicate any order of when they occurred.  

“Healing Categories” show what was healed and whether there is reference to faith and forgiveness of sins with them also.  Some incidents do not specify what was healed so there is a category for that.  

Each incident refers to healings recorded in these books, not the number of those healed.  There could have had one or many healings of one or many people but they are only counted once in coming to the 44 recorded healings shown.  

The healing scriptures can be accessed individually by the link in the listing below or by clicking on Scriptures of the Healings of Jesus, a complete written account of the scriptures in one place in order from Matthew to John.

Of all the types of healings Jesus performed, the most frequent was deliverance from demons, about one third of them. Faith is also mentioned in about one third of the healings.
