Scripture reveals six noteworthy characteristics of Jesus' healing ministry (in contrast to those who profess miraculous healings today): 1. Jesus healed with a word or a touch… There were no theatrics, no special environment. 2. Jesus healed instantly… People often say, 'I've been healed, and now I'm getting better.' Jesus never did 'progressive' healing. If Jesus had not healed instantly, there would have been no miraculous element sufficient to demonstrate His deity. His critics could easily have said the healing was just a natural process. 3. Jesus healed totally… There was no recuperation period. 4. Jesus healed everyone. Unlike healers today, Jesus did not leave long lines of disappointed people who had to return home in their wheelchairs. He did not leave healing services or programs that ended at a certain time because of airline or television schedules. 5. Jesus healed organic disease. Jesus did not go up and down Palestine healing lower back pain, heart palpitations, headaches, and other invisible ailments. He healed the most obvious kinds of organic disease – crippled legs, withered hands, bind eyes, palsy – all healings that were undeniably miraculous. 6. Jesus raised the dead… People who tout the gift of healing today do not spend much time in funeral parlors, funeral processions, or cemeteries.

4:1 ¶ Otira he korero tino hangai ta te Wairua, ko a nga wa o muri nei ka kotiti ke atu etahi i te whakapono, ka whakarongo ki nga wairua tinihanga, ki nga whakaakoranga a nga rewera,

4:2 He mea na te hianga o te hunga korero teka; o ratou hinengaro, ano he mea tahu ki te rino wera;

4:3 E riri ana kia kaua e marena, kia kaua e pa ki nga kai i hanga e te Atua hei mea ma te hunga e whakapono ana, e matau ana hoki ki te pono, me te whakawhetai ano ratou.

4:4 He pai hoki nga mea katoa i hanga e te Atua, kahore he mea hei rukenga, ina tangohia i runga i te whakawhetai:

4:5 He mea hoki i whakatapua, na te kupu a te Atua, na te inoi.

4:6 ¶ Ki te whakamahara koe i nga teina ki enei mea, he minita pai koe na Ihu Karaiti, he mea whakatupu ake i runga i nga kupu o te whakapono, o te whakaako pai kua whaia nei e koe a tae noa mai ki naianei.

4:7 Ko nga korero whakarihariha ia, ko nga mea tito noa a te ruruhi, whakarerea. Ko nga mahi mau ko nga mea o te ngakau karakia.

4:8 He pai iti nei to te whakamahi i te tinana; tena ko te ngakau karakia e pai ano mo nga mea katoa, kei reira hoki nga korero mo te ora inaianei, mo tera hoki kei te haere mai.

4:9 He pono tenei korero, he pai hoki kia tangohia rawatia.

4:10 Koia hoki matou ka mahi, ka tohe, no te mea kua whakamau to matou tumanako ki te Atua ora, ko ia nei te Kaiwhakaora o nga tangata katoa, engari rawa ia o te hunga whakapono.

4:11 Me kauwhau enei mea e koe, me whakaako.

4:12 Kei whakahawea tetahi ki a koe, he taitamariki nou; engari hei tauira koe ki te hunga whakapono, tau kupu, tau whakahaere, tou aroha, tou whakapono, tou ngakau ma.

4:13 Kia aro nui koe ki te korero pukapuka, ki te whakahauhau, ki te whakaako, kia tae atu ra ano ahau.

4:14 Kei waiho noa te mea homai noa kei roto na i a koe, i homai ra ki a koe he mea poropiti, i te whakapanga ai o nga ringaringa o nga kaumatua.

4:15 Ata whakaaroa enei mea: kia pau tou kaha ki reira; kia kitea ai e te katoa tou nekehanga ake.

4:16 Kia mahara ki a koe ano, ki te whakaakoranga hoki: kia u ki enei mea: ki te mea hoki koe i tenei, ka whakaora koe i a koe ano, i te hunga ano hoki e whakarongo ana ki a koe.
