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.

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

What is the comparison between the brass serpent and Jesus?

The brass serpent, described in the Book of Numbers, was lifted by Moses to heal the Israelites from snake bites, serving as a symbol of salvation through faith. Similarly, Jesus refers to this event in the New Testament, indicating that He will be lifted up (referring to His crucifixion) to provide spiritual healing and salvation to humanity. Both the brass serpent and Jesus represent God’s provision for healing and deliverance, highlighting the necessity of faith to receive that salvation. This comparison underscores the theme of looking to God for rescue from sin and death.
