Isaiah 53:4, 5

Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

​

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

​

Matthew 8:16,17

When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

​

This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

“He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

​

James 5:14-16

Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
