It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

And we are witnesses of this fact!

16 “Through faith in the name of Jesus, this man was healed—and you know how crippled he was before. Faith in Jesus’ name has healed him before your very eyes.

He was made completely well because of trust in Jesus, and you all saw it happen!
