Matt 8:17 so that He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He Himself took our infirmities [upon Himself] and carried away our diseases.”< (MY NOTE: Disease is plural)

Isa 53:
4 But [in fact] He has borne our griefs, And He has carried our sorrows and pains; Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken, Struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him].

5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]; The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him, And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.
(MY NOTE: The sinless Lord Jesus paid a heavy terrifying price. Beaten, judged, scourged, crushed & killed. Paying for every believers healing, health & wholeness in full.

Phil 2:9 His name is above every name: cancer, depression, diabetes, heart disease, addiction etc.

His supply is limitless:

Eph 3:
20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,

Phil 4:19 And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus

Matt 7:
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
(A) Ask
(S) Seek
(K) Knock

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

His victory over sickness & disease is accessed through FAITH: Matt 8:10. 9:2 & 29, 15:28 , Mk 2:5, Lk 7:20.

Other examples of FAITHS power: Heb 11:30-34.

He is the same today as He was is each scripture cited. (Heb 13:8)

Hopefully, we are also victorious at our cross that We have to bear just as Jesus Christ was at His.

I feeble comparison IMO.

None of us are sinless (we all deserve the punishment He endured) He willingly paid our (unpayable) debt. Most everyone understands FAITH placed in His sinless God-blood sacrifice brings sin forgiveness. The OP points out FAITH placed in His broken body brings spiritual & physical (sickness & diseaseS) healing.

Every healing verse in the OP was received thru FAITH in Jesus alone.

In this Lk chapter the women is breaking Mosaic law as she receives her healing (hardly carrying a cross)

Lk 8:
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: ISSUE
[ A-2,Noun,G4511, rhusis ] "a flowing" (akin to rheo, "to flow"), "an issue," is used in Mark 5:25; Luke 8:43-Luke 8:44.

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And of her that is sick of her flowers,.... Her monthly courses, for these are a sickness,

Lev 15:33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman,

This woman was in violation of Mosaic law:

Vs 47 when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him. And because of her FAITH in Jesus she was healed. Even after being exposed of the transgression, Jesus told her to go in peace.

His loving grace, mercy & power are the same today, yesterday & forever more! Amen
