149:1.1 By the time the camp at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] had been broken up, the [[fame]] of [[Jesus]], particularly as a [[healer]], had spread to all parts of [[Palestine]] and through all of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria Syria] and the surrounding countries. For weeks after they left [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida], the sick continued to arrive, and when they did not find [[the Master]], on learning from [[David Zebedee|David]] where he was, they would go in search of him. On this tour [[Jesus]] did not [[deliberately]] [[perform]] any so-called [[miracles]] of [[healing]]. Nevertheless, scores of afflicted found restoration of [[health]] and [[happiness]] as a result of the reconstructive [[power]] of the [[intense]] [[faith]] which impelled them to seek for [[healing]].

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 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]

149:1.8 It is, then, our [[opinion]] that, in the [[personal]] [[presence]] of [[Jesus]], certain forms of [[profound]] human [[faith]] were [[literally]] and truly compelling in the [[manifestation]] of [[healing]] by certain [[creative]] [[forces]] and [[personalities]] of the [[Nebadon|universe]] who were at that time so [[intimate]]ly associated with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man]. It therefore becomes a [[fact]] of [[record]] that [[Jesus]] did frequently suffer men to [[heal]] themselves in his [[presence]] by their powerful, [[personal]] [[faith]].

149:1.9 Many others sought [[healing]] for wholly [[selfish]] [[purposes]]. A [[rich]] [[widow]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyre 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.
