Overview of Jesus’ Healings

What is a healing?

What is the difference between a healing and a miracle?

This is a chronological chart of Jesus’ healings found in the Gospels.

Scholars divide healings into types or groups: exorcisms, physical healings, resurrections, environment, economy, accidents, and relationships. See if you can classify each healing below.

As you study the context of each healing, please note the “who, what, when, where, why, and how” of each event.
