Jesus understood Elisha's healing of Naaman as prefiguring that He Himself would also be sent to other nations. The point of His reference to Elijah and Elisha is that they had been sent to Gentiles, not to Israelites-a hint of His own mission.

How many times does the word power occur in the New Testament?

i think that the word "power" occurs in the new testament for about 122 times and if i am correct it does not always occur as spelled but with how it works on certain people. like the apostle Paul, he didn't say he had power but he did say that it was the power of God or the power that God gave him that he was able to do some of miraculous things like healing and helping a blind see and a lame walk again.


Did anyone go to the doctor in biblical times?

Some of the people with medical knowledge in ancient times were priests and shamans. People would go to a priest for healing. There was a temple to the Greek god of healing, Asclepius, near the sheep market just outside Jerusalem. People would come to the Asclepium to seek help from the priests and perhaps to enter the five-sided pool as the god passed by, disturbing the water. There are many references in the Bible to physicians. In the Old Testament, cultures other than the Hebrews were more advanced in the field. Particularly in the New Testament days, the science of medicine was practised as a profession amongst Jews as contact with other cultures increased. Luke himself was a physician
