Luke 5:13-16
13 Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him. 14 And He charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.” 15 However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. 16 So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.
Many came for Jesus' miracles to heal their sick bodies, but they also came to hear Him speak of the kingdom of God. The healing of their souls was a more powerful draw to eternity than the immediate needs, yet in this present time some still seek the immediate gratification of physical over spiritual. The physical is a testimony to Him, but that of the soul is the deeper and lasting need for us all.
