WOMEN IN THE BIBLE
WOMEN WITH FAITH
FOR HEALING

		THE WOMAN WITH THE DEMONIAC DAUGHTER

MATTHEW 15:
Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession.”

Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs.”

“Yes, Lord,” she said, “but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”

Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

		THE WOMAN WHO BLED FOR TWELVE YEARS

MARK 5:
When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

		THE WOMAN CRIPPLED FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS

LUKE 13:
On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.

Good Morning Dan, and hello to all.

What stories! Can we have such faith? Many beautiful paintings, with critical lessons.

Thank You Dan.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Imagine being stooped over and still showing up every Sabbath.

[Red Badger]

He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

The 'Lost Ten Tribes', aka 'Gentiles'..................

[No name given]

Beautiful paintings.

[Hebrews 11:6]

All twelve in this instance, I think: “lost” in their lost connection to God.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Beautiful faith.

[Red Badger]

The other two tribes were ‘lost’ in the sense that their ‘religion’ had become a hindrance rather than a boon to their lives. Jesus called them a ‘brood of vipers’............

[Hebrews 11:6]

My argument is that Jesus would not have said He was sent only to ten of Israel’s twelve tribes.

[Red Badger]

Yes, but you also have to remember that God’s promise to Abraham was that his descendants would be innumerable like the stars in the sky or the grains of sand in the sea.

Jesus time was about 2000 years after Abraham, so his descendants would have been scattered among the Gentiles and would have been Gentiles themselves as far as the Judean religious powers were concerned, just as they disdained the Samaritans of their own time.

We tend to forget the ‘other’ descendants of Abraham that he ‘sent away’ to the ‘east’, his concubines and their children are just as much heirs of Abraham as are the Children of Israel (The Jews) and Ishmael (The Arabs). My guess is they are now the nation of India................

Morning Dan and All,
.

Matt.15 always struck me as out of
Character for Jesus-—
What’s the Consensus?

[Hebrews 11:6]

God’s promise to Abraham was that his descendants would be innumerable like the stars

I've never understood God's meaning as merely Abraham's physical offspring; rather, Abraham believed God and so became God's faith-exemplar, and all who believe subsequently are his spiritual descendants.

[etabeta]

Thank you, Dan. Some very beautiful paintings to depict these events of great faith, courage, determination. How very poignant that he addresses the woman who bled for 12 years “Daughter your faith has healed you”.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Make your argument: in what way “out of character”? I know why I might say so, but why do you?

[Hebrews 11:6]

Faith is the thing, the gift of our loving God.

[Red Badger]

True, either way you look at it, it is the same.

Abraham’s physical descendants are innumerable and well as the spiritual ones!

God fulfilled his promise a thousand fold and then some!

It was Abraham’s child-like faith and obedience that earned him this magnificent place in history...............

[Big Red Badger]

She was singled out as a dog.
The Centurion was not,but commended for his Faith in the healing of His child.
Was it a test of Faith?
What’s Your take?

[Big Red Badger]

She Stuck with her request perhaps she was just causing a Ruckus.
