In this Gospel preaching, you will hear of four encounters Jesus has with men and women. Jesus came to meet their need and the scriptures record for us that each had faith in the Lord that he could meet their need.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Matthew 9:23-29 “23 And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,24 he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.25 But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.
26 And the fame of it went out into all that land.27 And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.28 And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.”
Mark 5:24-33 “24 And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed on him.25 And a certain woman who had had a flux of blood twelve years,26 and had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent everything she had and had found no advantage from it, but had rather got worse,
27 having heard concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind and touched his clothes;28 for she said, If I shall touch but his clothes I shall be healed.29 And immediately her fountain of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured from the scourge.
30 And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the power that had gone out of him, turning round in the crowd said, Who has touched my clothes?31 And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd pressing on thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?32 And he looked round about to see her who had done this.
33 But the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.34 And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee; go in peace, and be well of thy scourge.”
Mark 10:46-52 “46 And they come to Jericho, and as he was going out from Jericho, and his disciples and a large crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, the blind [man], sat by the wayside begging.47 And having heard that it was Jesus the Nazaraean, he began to cry out and to say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me.
48 And many rebuked him, that he might be silent; but he cried so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.49 And Jesus, standing still, desired him to be called. And they call the blind [man], saying to him, Be of good courage, rise up, he calls thee.50 And, throwing away his garment, he started up and came to Jesus.51 And Jesus answering says to him, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And the blind [man] said to him, Rabboni, that I may see.52 And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith has healed thee. And he saw immediately, and followed him in the way.”
Luke 17:11-19 “11 And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.12 And as he entered into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off.13 And they lifted up [their] voice saying, Jesus, Master, have compassion on us.
14 And seeing [them] he said to them, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going they were cleansed.15 And one of them, seeing that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,16 and fell on [his] face at his feet giving him thanks: and *he* was a Samaritan.17 And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where [are they]?
18 There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger.19 And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.”
