Before the Lord healed them, He wanted to
give them some instructions. He wanted them
to be able to keep there healing (deliverance).
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the
word of God. Jesus knew his words would
help create faith in their hearts.

Being desparate for healing, is different from
having faith. They were desparate and deter-

to your faith be it done unto you."

thinking that obedience is better than sacrifice.

They went on and told what had happened to
them.

The news of their healing would cause more

harm than good, even hindering His purpose
