Mark 1:32-34 King James Version (KJV)
32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

Mark 1:32-34 Expanded Bible (EXB)

32
That evening, after the sun went down, the people brought to Jesus all who were sick and ·had demons in them [were demon-possessed]. 33 The whole town gathered at the door. 34 Jesus healed many who had different kinds of sicknesses, and he ·forced many demons to leave people [L drove/cast out many demons]. But he would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was. [C They knew he was the Messiah; Jesus wanted to avoid premature publicity.]

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

32 We need to come to Jesus for healing but we also need to know that while He is always willing to save our soul sometimes, He doesn’t heal sickness.

33 This caused all the city to come to Jesus, the problem is they came to Him not for the truth but for what they could get from Him. We need to come to Jesus simply because of who He is.

34 Jesus continued to heal but His purpose was far greater then healing and many would not see that.

Jesus came to heal our souls so we may live eternally. He does heal our physical bodies temporary to make his power known.

Healing hardly describes it. Christ came to give new life to souls dead in trespass and sins. To make them new creatures created in His righteousness unto eternal life.

2Cor 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

2 Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
