²² A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

³ Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.

⁴ But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.

³⁶ I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.

³⁷ Then will the upright make answer to him, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food, and give it to you? or in need of drink, and give it to you?

³⁸ And when did we see you wandering, and take you in? or without clothing, and give it to you?

³⁹ And when did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?

⁴⁰ And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

⁴¹ Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:

¹⁶ And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

¹⁷ So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.

¹⁸ Now when Jesus saw a great mass of people about him, he gave an order to go to the other side.

¹⁷ And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.

⁸ Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.

¹⁴ The spirit of a man will be his support when he is ill; but how may a broken spirit be lifted up?

⁷ And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.

⁸ And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.

¹⁰ So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.

¹¹ I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.

³⁵ And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.

¹⁴ Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord.

¹⁵ And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

¹⁶ So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

¹² Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.

² The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.

³ The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.

⁴ I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.

¹⁴ Make me well, O Lord, and I will be well; be my saviour, and I will be safe: for you are my hope.

³ He makes the broken-hearted well, and puts oil on their wounds.

³ When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day.

⁸ The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;

¹³ But you have knowledge that with a feeble body I was preaching the good news to you the first time;

¹⁴ And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.

²³ Do not take only water as your drink, but take a little wine for the good of your stomach, and because you are frequently ill.

³ He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;

⁹ And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.

⁴ And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.

¹⁶ So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

² My loved one, it is my prayer that you may do well in all things, and be healthy in body, even as your soul does well.

¹ And getting the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all evil spirits and over diseases, to make them well.

² And he sent them out to be preachers of the kingdom of God, and to make well those who were ill.

³ And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, no stick or bag or bread or money, and do not take two coats.
