Luke 9 One thing that really set Jesus apart was that He not only healed people but He gave power to others to do the same. As far as I am aware, no other person has ever done so except they have done so by virtue of His priesthood. Only Christ ever gave the power…

Luke 8 Satan tempted Jesus saying, “Put yourself in harm’s way for it is written that God hath set His angels a charge overt you to protect you let at any time you dash your foot upon a stone.” Had His disciples thought on that writing they might have known that even while He slept,…
