ποίμνῃ σου,
ἡ τῶν
πραγμάτων ἀλήθεια·
διὰ τοῦτο
ἐκτήσω τῇ
ταπεινώσει τὰ
ὑψηλά, τῇ πτωχείᾳ τὰ
πλούσια, Πάτερ Ἱεράρχα Νικόλαε·
πρέσβευε Χριστῷ

When the
angelic powers appeared at Your tomb, the soldiers guarding You became as
still as dead. But standing at Your
sepulcher was Mary seeking Your pure immaculate body. And You did vanquish Hades and uncorrupted

give glory to You. (DLH, p. 86)

saved.

There
has never been a claim made by any other individual, group, or religion in
history that they healed all sickness,
disease, or infirmity. In the Gospels there are many scriptures that
state that Jesus did exactly that. Moreover, in the Gospels we find
approximately 30-40 individual healing events, depending on how you classify
the event. Out of all the healings that Jesus did in the 4 Gospels, these
individual cases were chosen to represent the basic healing concepts of the New
Testament. Each particular healing event demonstrates at least one important
concept about healing. Sometimes Jesus drew attention to the important
concept such as in Mk
2:9-10, Mk 5:30, Lk 13:15-16, Mt 15:26, Mk 5:36, Mk 10:52. Other times
the concept is demonstrated by Jesus, then explained [Mt 17:19]. G. Wiens (2009) writes: "Everywhere
Jesus went He functioned as a healer.

41
distinct instances of physical and mental healing are recorded in the 4 Gospels,
but this by no means represents the total. Many of the references summarize
the healing of large numbers of people. The accounts described in detail are
simply the more dramatic instances. Nearly 20% of the Gospel accounts (727
out of 3,779 verses) relate specifically to the healing of physical and mental
illness and the resurrection of the dead. The attention devoted to healing is
far greater than that devoted to any one kind of experience. It is startling
to compare the emphasis on physical and mental healing with the scant
attention given to moral healing. Also please note the diversity, the
multitudinous nature and the prominence that the Gospel writers give to this
ministry." http://stronginfaith.org/article.php?page=111#Mass%20Healing and
