The accounts of healing hold a central place in the Gospels. This section gathers the episodes in which Jesus gives sight to the blind, speech to the mute, hearing to the deaf, the ability to walk to the paralyzed, and health to those whom illness had kept on the margins. It also includes exorcisms, deliverances, and even a resurrection, such as that of the daughter of Jairus. Each article invites a close rereading of an account: the context, the characters, the gestures and the words of Jesus. The situations encountered are varied: a leper, a centurion, a woman suffering from hemorrhages, a blind beggar like Bartimaeus, or a servant wounded at the arrest, Malchus. Some episodes take place on the Sabbath and raise controversies. Others highlight the faith of those who come to Jesus, whether they are Jews or not. Even the calming of the storm shows the authority of Jesus over the forces that threaten humanity. These accounts are not mere demonstrations of power. They reveal the compassion of Jesus, the identity of the Messiah, and the coming of the Kingdom of God. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or a curious reader, you will find here what you need to feed your understanding and your reflection, episode after episode.
