Reading verses about healing
Many of these passages were first addressed to a particular person or community, and some speak of healing in a wider sense, such as the healing of a land or of a broken heart. The context view shows who is speaking and to whom. If you are choosing a verse for someone who is ill, a short one is often easiest to read; the length filter helps. The same verse can read quite differently in the BSB, the KJV and the WEB, so comparing them can be worthwhile.
