The Greek verb “ἰάομαι”

Found most often in Luke and Acts, but also used in Mt. 8:8, 13; 13:15; 15:28; Mk. 5:29; Jn. 4:47; 5:13; 12:40; Heb. 12:13; Jas. 5:16; 1 Pet. 2:24, the Greek verb “iaomai” meant “cure,” “heal,” “restore.”  Physical healing is what many long for, but what matters most is the spiritual healing available through Christ (1 Pet. 2:24).
