Matthew recorded in our Lord Jesus sending his twelve disciples empowering them with the gift of miracles and healing – Matthew 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

It is notable to observe these gifts were given to authenticate the gospel message that men everywhere may repent – Matthew 10:7-8 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
