And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
Right then and there, Jesus healed people from all kinds of sickness and disease, freed them from evil spirits, and gave sight to so many who were blind.
Jesus didn't just talk about healing, he showed up and changed lives on the spot.
