Overview

Ancient sources consistently present Jesus as a healer and miracle-worker.

The fight for God's kingdom was against Satan himself, his demons and their works. Jesus was not the only person in antiquity with a reputation for being able to heal people. People were not amazed by the "miracles" he did (others were doing the same), but by the meaning he gave to his healing power. Since illness was understood as the result of the action of evil spirits, the healing power of Jesus was interpreted as evidence of his authority over the evil forces, as signaling the coming of God's kingdom. Furthermore, since sin also was understood as the result of the action of evil spirits, healing was understood as a manifestation of Jesus's power of forgiveness. Jesus was stronger than Satan.
