Now it happened on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him for healing.
Luke 5:17
The Pharisees and teachers of the law were scornful. "Who is this man who professes to heal all who come before him?" they asked. "Doesn’t he realize many are poor and cannot pay? Somebody’s got to pay for the healing, and it will fall upon us."
Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Matthew 9:35
Word of this healing got back to the temple. Then there was much hand wringing and gnashing of teeth among the Pharisees and the moneychangers. "He’s going to bankrupt us all!" they cried. "Everyone will have to pay higher premiums!"
Now he arose from the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of him concerning her.
Luke 4:38-39
"See now what you’ve started," they said. "Now everyone expects free healthcare. You could have just sent her to an emergency room."
Then as he entered a certain village, there met him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" So when he saw them, he said to them, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.
Luke 17:12-14
"Priests? Priests? Sounds an awful lot like death panels!"
So he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when he had spit on his eyes and put his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything. And he looked up and said, "I see men like trees, walking." Then he put his hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
Mark 8:23-25
"Now he’s even treating those with pre-existing conditions!" they said. "What’s he going to do next, raise the dead?"
And when he had said this, he cried out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth. So Jesus said to them, "Untie him and let him go."
John 10:43-44
"That has got to be an experimental procedure. There’s no way we cover that."
"Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give."
Matthew 10:8
"Free? What makes these people think it’s free? What do they think, healthcare is a right? Well it’s not, it’s a privilege!"
Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against him, how they might destroy him. But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all. Yet he warned them not to make him known, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet...
Matthew 12:14-17
"You’re darn right we plotted against him. And we organized demonstrations. We said ‘YOU LIE!’ and called it fascism. We knew we had to discredit universal heathcare before it caught on."
So they were offended at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house."
Matthew 13:57
"And we compared his universal healthcare to the holocaust. And made images of his face painted up like a joker or a hated dictator."
When Jesus heard that, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, rather those who are sick."
Matthew 9:12
"Besides, why all this talk about fixing our healthcare system? It’s not even broken. We’ve got the best healthcare system in the world."
Then he called his twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Luke 9:1-2
"We can’t compete with the Divine Option. This is socialism!"
