The term "healeth" is an archaic form of the verb "heal," which appears in various passages of the Bible, signifying the act of restoring health, wholeness, or well-being. In the context of Scripture, healing is often attributed to the divine intervention of God, who is portrayed as the ultimate healer of both physical and spiritual ailments.

Divine Healing in the Old Testament

In the Old Testament, God is frequently depicted as the source of healing for His people. One of the most notable references is found in Exodus 15:26, where God declares to the Israelites, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all His decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD who heals you." This passage underscores the conditional nature of divine healing, linked to obedience and faithfulness to God's commandments.

The Psalms also reflect the belief in God's healing power. Psalm 103:2-3 states, "Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases." Here, healing is associated with forgiveness, suggesting a holistic view of health that encompasses both physical and spiritual dimensions.

Healing in the Ministry of Jesus

The New Testament presents Jesus Christ as the embodiment of God's healing power. His earthly ministry is marked by numerous acts of healing, which serve as signs of the coming Kingdom of God. In Matthew 4:23 , it is recorded, "Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people." These miraculous healings demonstrate Jesus' authority over illness and His compassion for the suffering.

One of the most profound examples of Jesus' healing ministry is found in the account of the woman with the issue of blood. In Mark 5:34 , Jesus tells her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction." This narrative highlights the role of personal faith in the process of healing, emphasizing that faith in Jesus is a conduit for divine restoration.

Spiritual Healing and Salvation

Beyond physical healing, the Bible also speaks of spiritual healing, which is closely tied to the concept of salvation. Isaiah 53:5 prophesies about the suffering servant, "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed." This passage is often interpreted as a reference to the atoning work of Christ, through which believers receive spiritual healing and reconciliation with God.

The Apostle Peter echoes this theme in 1 Peter 2:24 , stating, "He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By His stripes you are healed." Here, healing is linked to the redemptive sacrifice of Christ, which provides believers with the ultimate healing from sin and its consequences.

The Role of Faith and Prayer

The New Testament encourages believers to seek healing through faith and prayer. James 5:14-15 instructs, "Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven." This passage underscores the communal aspect of healing within the body of Christ and the importance of intercessory prayer.

In summary, the concept of "healeth" in the Bible encompasses both physical and spiritual dimensions, with God as the ultimate source of healing. Through faith, obedience, and prayer, believers are invited to experience the restorative power of God in their lives.
