Matthew 11:5

+ 11:5. MP: Messiah’s ministry includes preaching the good news to those afflicted and binding the broken hearted. (Is 61:1-2) the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, + 11:5. MP: Only God can heal leprosy; really this is not Hansen’s disease but a divine-origin disease called tzara'at in Hebrew. Only God can afflict and only God can remove. Messiah has the authority of God to preform healing works that only God alone can accomplish such as healing disabilities. Examples: God applies the disease at will: (Ex 4:5-8; Num 12:10, 2 King 5:27); God only can heal the disease as He wills (Num 12:13-15; 2 King 5:1-8, 5:14-15). (Lev 14:2-3 (context all ch 13-14)) the people afflicted with tzara'at ·leprosy· are cleansed, the deaf + 11:5. Quoted from Is 35:5-6 hear, the dead are being raised, + 11:5. Quoted from Is 26:19 and the poor have good news preached + 11:5. Quoted from Is 61:1 to them.
