Cures in Scripture

The butterfly is a symbol of the resurrection.

There are several references in the Gospels to "multiple" and "great numbers" of cures, particularly at the beginning of Jesus' public ministry at Capharnaum (see Mark 1:21 - 2:12; and Luke chapters 4, 5.) But we can learn more from close reading of specific cures, of which there are fifteen cures of diseases or of physical defects:

The blind - Mt 9:27-34, Mk 8:22-26, Jn 1:1-41, Mt 12:22-37 (see also Mk 10:46-52, Lk 8:35-43);
