"'Jesus' then means according to the Hebrew Savior, but in the Greek tongue The Healer; since He is physician of souls
and bodies, curer of spirits, curing the blind in body , and leading
minds into light, healing the visibly lame, and guiding sinners' steps
to repentance, saying to the palsied, Sin no more, and, Take up your bed and walk. For since the body was palsied for the sin of the soul, He ministered first to the soul that He might extend the healing to the body. If, therefore, any one is suffering in soul from sins, there is the Physician for him: and if any one here is of little faith, let him say to Him, Help my unbelief. If
any is encompassed also with bodily ailments, let him not be faithless,
but let him draw near; for to such diseases also Jesus ministers , and
let him learn that Jesus is the Christ." --Boethius
