Who did Jesus heal?

Jesus healed everyone who crossed His path that needed healing. He healed people near and far. One woman had a chronic case of bleeding. She was healed by simply touching the hem of Jesus’s garment. He then felt virtue go out of Him and knew that He had healed someone. Other people, such as blind Bartineaus, called to Jesus to be healed and He healed them from compassion. A Roman centurion (he had 100 soldiers under him), came to Jesus begging for Him to heal his daughter. He knew that Jesus could speak the Word and she would be healed. And she was healed by Jesus simply speaking the Word. She was healed at the very hour He spoke the Word even though she was miles from where Jesus was at that time.

One man had waited by the pool of Bethesda to be healed. Jesus came along and spoke His Word and the man got up and walked.

Another man was let down into the roof top of a home seeking Jesus to heal him. The many was a paralytic and Jesus did heal him.

The stories of who Jesus healed are seen in the New Testament Bible and are numerous.

Jesus healed people everywhere He went because He had compassion on them. He felt their pain and healed them. 

The New Testament Bible shows that Jesus did a lot of miracles during his lifetime. Click here to see miracles Jesus did:

Who did Jesus teach?

Jesus taught His followers. He taught whoever followed Him and whoever wanted to listen. Sometimes He took His closest disciples apart to teach them privately. Sometimes He taught whole crowds such as the 5, 000 people He supernaturally fed when they were hungry. 

Jesus taught a Samaritan women. He did not care the race or even the sinful nature of the person. Jesus loved people and chose to teach them. He taught the woman caught in adultery. And He taught Levi the tax-collector. He taught those who were humble enough to hear. He could not teach those who disdained His Words or who didn’t respect Him or receive from Him.

Was Jesus a hippy or a marginal person?

There is nothing in the New Testament Bible to suggest that Jesus was a hippy or a marginal person.  History and the Bible reveal that Jesus looked very ordinary. He blended in with the crowd. He was poor but not a beggar. And there’s no suggestion that He didn’t work or was marginal in any way. On the contrary, Jesus worked as a carpenter.

He was however a person who depended entirely and solely on God His heavenly Father. He had no set place to lay His head and said of Himself, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests but the Son of man has nowhere to lay His head”In this way, He was different than other people. In this way, He could be perceived as not living an ordinary life.

Jesus believed in and encouraged hard work and in no way encouraged a marginal way of life.

How did Jesus do miracles?

Jesus performed many miracles just by speaking the Word.

His Word had (has) the power to perform miracles. He spoke the Word (just the same as God spoke the Word in the Old Testament in the book of Genesis and spoke the world into existence).

Sometimes Jesus chose bizarre ways to do a miracle. For example, He healed one blind man by spitting in the mud to form clay which He applied to the man’s eyes. The man was healed.

According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus performed miracles from the power He received from His heavenly Father.

Throughout the Gospel of John in the New Testament, Jesus proclaimed that He could do nothing of Himself but by the will of the Father, by the power of God. 

In John 14:10 of the New Testament Jesus says, “I do not speak of my own authority, of myself: but the Father that lives in me, He does the works.”

Was Jesus married?

History and the Bible show that Jesus was never married.

There are fiction stories and films that have been fabricated to make it look as if Jesus was secretly married. These stories claim to be fiction. And Historical facts prove them to be fiction. They have no foundation in truth at all. Clearly, all documents, historical narrations, ancient scrolls and scriptures prove that Jesus lived as a single man. 

There were females in His life that took care of Him – probably doing His sowing and cooking for Him from time to time. We see this in the New Testament Gospel of Luke, chapter 8, verse 3. The women “ministered to Jesus.” But He was never married. He spent much of His time alone in prayer or with His 12 disciples of with other people.

Where did Jesus live?
The Bible shows that Jesus lived in the Middle East, mostly Israel. This is seen in both the New Testament which historicizes and recounts Jesus’ life, but also in the Old Testament Bible which points to the coming Messiah and shows where He would live.
The New Testament Bible shows that when Jesus was a small child He lived with His parents in Egypt where they were escaping Herrod’s army who wanted to kill all little boys under the age of 2. Then He lived in Nazareth with His birth mother, Mary, and His adoptive father, Joseph. He lived in an ordinary, humble home, in poverty.

Jesus lived and ministered in Judea, Galilee, Jerusalem in Northern Israel. Click here to see a map: http://www.jesuscentral.com/ji/GIFS/palestine100.gif

The New Testament Bible depicts Jesus as an adult traveling, teaching, preaching, healing and ministering and shows that He had no set place to lay His head. His travels took him to the countries and towns surrounding Jerusalem, including Samaria, Jordan, Perea, Caperneum. Click here for more details:

Where does Jesus live?

According to the Bible, Jesus now lives in Heaven with His heavenly Father. He sits at his right hand of the Father. He also lives in the hearts of those who have invited Him in—not in the physical sense, of course, but He indwells those who yielded (surrendered) their hearts to Him through his Holy Spirit.

The New Testament speaks of the mystical indwelling of Jesus through his Spirit.

Read here in John 3 the narration of Jesus speaking to Nicodemus about “being born again”—a synonymous expression considered by followers of Jesus to mean the same thing as to invite Jesus into one’s heart.

Why was Jesus born?
According to the Bible, Jesus was born to save mankind from sin (from his disobedience to God, his wrongdoings and wrong thoughts). Jesus was born purposely and with His consent – as God’s unique son – to pay for the sins of mankind by dying in place of mankind, or so that people could be saved from an eternity apart from him.

The Bible explains that Jesus was born to be Savior, and Lord to all who ask Him to take that role in their lives. As such, Jesus shows a better way to live according to the higher law of love, which can be lived only through Him if He first lives in a person’s heart.

The main reason Jesus was born was to die in order that mankind could be saved.

Jesus came to show mankind the way, to show that He is the way to heaven.

Jesus came also to teach mankind about the kingdom of God of which He is the king.

What language did Jesus speak?

On the human level, Jesus would have spoken Hebrew since this was the language of Jews and Israelites. And Aramaic was the language mostly used in the Old Testament Bible.

On the divine level, as the Son of God, Jesus could speak any language He wanted—including Heavenly languages.

Since Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit are linked as One, whatever the Father or the Holy Spirit did, Jesus could do. In the book of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament Bible, chapter 2, the Holy Spirit allows the apostles to speak in different tongues (or languages). Clearly, if they could do this, so could Jesus. He also spoke freely to the woman of Samaria in the Gospel of John, chapter 4, and it is to be presumed that He spoke in her language.
