“And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.”
Matthew 10:1 ESV
The Truth is in the Title…
Jesus gave his disciples authority to do these works he himself was doing.
——
Interestingly, here in chapter 10 he gave them authority to heal every disease and every affliction. Seven chapters later they are caught not walking in the faith and authority already given to them. Some father of a demon possessed son comes to Jesus and says…
“And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him.” And Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.” Matthew 17:16-17 ESV
Just one of those things that make you go hmmmm.🤔
