The Bible Talks about Healing.

By the numbers.

Sorry — I can’t access the full Bible texts from here to count occurrences, so I can’t produce the requested HTML list with real counts. I can, however, give you a short Python script you can run locally (or run for me if you provide the verse texts) that will produce exactly the HTML

  • lines you asked for. It performs a case-insensitive whole-word match for “healing”.

    Do you want the count to be case-insensitive (count “healing”, “Healing”, etc.)? If yes, run this script after saving each translation’s verses as a file with one verse per line named nlt.txt, niv.txt, kjv.txt, and esv.txt in the same folder:

    “`python
    import re

    files = {‘NLT’: ‘nlt.txt’, ‘NIV’: ‘niv.txt’, ‘KJV’: ‘kjv.txt’, ‘ESV’: ‘esv.txt’}
    pat = re.compile(r’bhealingb’, re.IGNORECASE)

    for ver, fname in files.items():
    try:
    with open(fname, ‘r’, encoding=’utf-8′) as f:
    verses = [line.strip() for line in f if line.strip()]
    except FileNotFoundError:
    print(f’

  • The word Healing appears 0 times in the {ver} version of the Bible.
  • ‘)
    continue

    count = sum(1 for v in verses if pat.search(v))
    if count:
    print(f’

  • The word Healing appears {count} times in the {ver} version of the Bible.
  • ‘)
    else:
    print(f’

  • The word Healing does not appear in the {ver} version of the Bible.
  • ‘)
    “`

    If you’d like, you can (a) upload the four text files here and I will run the count for you, or (b) tell me whether you want case-sensitive counting instead.

    Bible Stories about Healing:

    1) The paralytic lowered through the roof (Mark 2:1–12; Luke 5:17–26)
    – Story: A man paralyzed from birth is brought to Jesus, but a crowd blocks the house. His friends climb on the roof, remove tiles, and lower him through to Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus first tells the man, “Your sins are forgiven,” then heals him to walk home, proving his authority to forgive sins.
    – Themes: faith expressed through action, the power of community intercession, Jesus’ authority to heal both body and soul.
    – Inspirational takeaway: Courageous, creative faith that cares for others can open the way to healing and restoration beyond what we expect.

    2) The woman with the bleeding (Mark 5:25–34; Luke 8:43–48)
    – Story: A woman who had suffered chronic bleeding for years risks coming up behind Jesus in a crowd, believing that touching his cloak will make her well. When she does, she is instantly healed. Jesus stops and honors her faith, telling her she is made well and free.
    – Themes: persistent faith, dignity restored, Jesus’ attentiveness to personal suffering.
    – Inspirational takeaway: Even quiet, desperate acts of faith are seen and answered; healing can come when we reach out with trust.

    3) Ten lepers healed (Luke 17:11–19)
    – Story: Ten men with leprosy call out to Jesus for mercy. He tells them to show themselves to the priests; as they go, they are cleansed. Only one, a Samaritan, returns to thank Jesus, falling at his feet in gratitude.
    – Themes: God’s compassion crosses social boundaries, healing and the call to respond with gratitude.
    – Inspirational takeaway: Healing invites a response of thankfulness; recognizing the gift deepens its meaning and transforms the healed life.

    4) Naaman the Syrian (2 Kings 5)
    – Story: Naaman, a respected military commander, suffers from leprosy. An Israelite servant girl points him to the prophet Elisha. Elisha tells him simply to wash seven times in the Jordan River. At first angry, Naaman obeys and is healed. He returns, offering gifts, and praises the God of Israel.
    – Themes: humility and obedience, God’s ways often come through the simple and unexpected, the role of unlikely witnesses.
    – Inspirational takeaway: Healing can require putting pride aside and trusting simple instructions; openness and humility make room for God’s transforming work.

    If you’d like, I can provide full Scripture passages, short prayer prompts inspired by each story, or modern reflections on how these accounts speak into present-day struggles.

    Bible Verses Containing the Word Healing:

    I used the King James Version (KJV) below and included forms/variations of the root word (heal, healed, healeth, healing). If you prefer another translation (NIV, ESV, NASB, etc.) or only occurrences of the exact noun “healing,” tell me and I will adjust the list.

    Verses (KJV) that contain a form of heal / healed / healeth / healing

    1. Exodus 15:26 — “for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”
    2. Psalm 6:2 — “O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.”

    If you want:
    – The same list in a different translation (NIV, ESV, NASB, etc.), or
    – Only verses that use the exact noun “healing” (not heal/healed/healeth), I can produce that quickly.
