Laying on of Hands "Laying on of Hands" is one of the routine methods that Jesus used to heal people. The scripture reads, "He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them" [Mark 6:5]. The scripture implies in Mark 6:5, that "laying on of hands" to heal the sick is not considered a might work [compare Luke 10:13, Matthew 11:23]. Jesus touched people to minister His Healing Power [Luke 4:40, Matthew 8:3, Matthew 8:15, Matthew 9:18, Matthew 9:29, Matthew 20:34, Mark 7:33, Luke 7:14, Luke 8:23, Luke 13:13, Luke 22:51, and Matthew 17:7]. People sought Jesus to come and "lay hands" on sick people or bless children [Matthew 9:18, Mark 5:23, Mark 7:32, Mark 8:22, Luke 18:15, Mark 10:13]. The recovery of the sick through the "Laying on of Hands" is one of the signs that will follow any believer of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. "They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" [Mark 16:18]. The recovery of the sick through the "Laying on of Hands" is one of the signs that the Lord uses to work with the believer and confirm the Word of God. "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following" [Mark 16:20]. The truth is, any believer who believes in Jesus may do the same works Jesus did. Jesus laid hands on the sick, any believer may lay hands on the sick. Jesus healed the sick, any believer may heal the sick. In fact, Jesus said we would do greater works than he did, because he was going to the Father [John 14:12]. Brother Ananias, "laid hands" on Paul for healing in Acts 9:17. Paul on the Island of Melita prayed and laid his hands on the father of Publius and healed him [Acts 28:8]. Paul also ministered healing to all that were sick on the island [Acts 28:9].
