Turn with me to three openings, please, this evening.

Three openings in the gospel accounts.

Matthew 9.

We'll go then to Luke 8 and then wind up in Mark 5.

Matthew 9, Luke 8, Mark 5.

If you've been here on the Friday nights for the past several weeks, you know that we have

been ministering on healing.

The title of the series is receiving and ministering healing.

And we've been studying one by one the individual accounts of healing in the ministry of Jesus.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John record about 19, and I say about because it depends on what you count and what you don't count.

Because if you count people delivered of spirits who would be more than that, a dead raised would be more than that.

But we're limiting it to just physical healing with the occasion where there was healing and raised

from the dead we include those but about 19 of these it seems like more because

Mark and John and Luke record the same one that Mark does and then vice versa.

And you find three different occasions of the same healing.

But many places where it says that multitudes were healed.

But where it says who they were, what was wrong with them, what they said, what Jesus said,

how he ministered to them, how they received, only about

19 of those.

And we began, let me review a little bit.

Y'all know I like to review.

We talked about, I believe the first one was the healing of the leper.
