Matthew 9:33-35
33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Israel!” 34 But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.” 35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
When Jesus healed people, He set them free from darkness and pain - but all was to tell them of the good news of God's kingdom. The gospel of His deliverance from sin was only highlighted by the physical; that is what proved His authority over life and death. He came to give life unending, and not to just make everyone physically well.
