John 6:
Similarly for the disciples, Matthew 10:
Later, however, Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 5:
Wiki:
Yes, today, I believe that God still heals supernaturally by faith at times but other times, he uses doctors. When God heals miraculously, he is proving a point. It is a sign, Mark 16:
I.e., Jesus healed the sick to prove that he was sent by God.2 A large crowd kept following him because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick.
Similarly for the disciples, Matthew 10:
And for Paul, Acts 19:1 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
All of the above healings show that they were sent by God. Miracles are usually signs to demonstrate something. In this case, they showed that Paul was an apostle.12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.
Later, however, Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 5:
Paul didn't send Timothy his handkerchief to heal him. The healing miracles/signs were no longer associated with him.23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

Should we pray for healing?Faith healing is the practice of prayer and gestures (such as laying on of hands) that are believed by some to elicit divine intervention in spiritual and physical healing, especially the Christian practice.[1] Believers assert that the healing of disease and disability can be brought about by religious faith through prayer or other rituals that, according to adherents, can stimulate a divine presence and power. Religious belief in divine intervention does not depend on empirical evidence of an evidence-based outcome achieved via faith healing.[2] Virtually all scientists and philosophers dismiss faith healing as pseudoscience.

James affirmed that in 5:17 these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Paul also in 1 Corinthians 12:15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit.
