²⁴ “He himself bore our sins”^(A) in his body on the cross,^(B) so that we might die to sins^(C) and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”^(D)

¹⁶ When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.^{(A) 17} This was to fulfill^(B) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

¹⁵ He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.^{(A) 16} Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.^{(B) 17} And these signs^(C) will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons;^(D) they will speak in new tongues;^{(E) 18} they will pick up snakes^(F) with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on^(G) sick people, and they will get well.”

¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders^(A) of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil^(B) in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer offered in faith^(C) will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.

²⁶ He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep^(A) all his decrees,^(B) I will not bring on you any of the diseases^(C) I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals^(D) you.”
