149:1.2 There began to [[appear]] about the [[time]] of this [[mission]]—and continued throughout the remainder of [[Jesus]]' life on [[earth]]—a peculiar and unexplained [[series]] of [[healing]] [[phenomena]]. In the [[course]] of this three months' tour more than one hundred men, women, and children from [[Judea]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idumea Idumea], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilee Galilee], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria Syria], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyre,_Lebanon Tyre], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidon Sidon], and from beyond the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_river Jordan] were beneficiaries of this [[unconscious]] [[healing]] by [[Jesus]] and, returning to their [[homes]], added to the enlargement of [[Jesus]]' [[fame]]. And they did this notwithstanding that [[Jesus]] would, every time he [[observed]] one of these cases of [[spontaneous]] [[healing]], directly charge the beneficiary to " tell no man. "

149:1.3 It was never [[revealed]] to us just what occurred in these cases of [[spontaneous]] or [[unconscious]] [[healing]]. [[The Master]] never [[explained]] to his [[apostles]] how these [[healing]]s were effected, other than that on several occasions he merely said, " I [[perceive]] that power has gone forth from me. " On one occasion he remarked when touched by an ailing child, " I perceive that life has gone forth from me. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_6]

149:1.4 In the [[absence]] of direct [[word]] from [[the Master]] regarding the [[nature]] of these cases of [[spontaneous]] [[healing]], it would be presuming on our part to undertake to [[explain]] how they were accomplished, but it will be [[permissible]] to [[record]] our [[opinion]] of all such [[healing]] [[phenomena]]. We [[believe]] that many of these [[apparent]] [[miracles]] of [[healing]], as they occurred in the [[course]] of [[Jesus]]' [[earth]] ministry, were the result of the coexistence of the following [[three]] powerful, [[potent]], and associated [[influences]]:

149:1.9 Many others sought [[healing]] for wholly [[selfish]] [[purposes]]. A [[rich]] [[widow]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyre,_Lebanon Tyre], with her retinue, came seeking to be [[healed]] of her infirmities, which were many; and as she followed [[Jesus]] about through [[Galilee]], she continued to offer more and more [[money]], as if the [[power]] of [[God]] were something to be purchased by the highest bidder. But never would she become interested in the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]]; it was only the [[cure]] of her [[physical]] ailments that she sought.
