<p>10:38 <em>About Jesus of Nazareth. How God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the Devil. For God was with him</em>- The Lord was empowered to do miracles to demonstrate to illiterate folk that &quot;God was with Him&quot;; but He was Immanuel, God with <em>us; </em>in that God was with Him, and He is with us. The Lord Jesus did not heal every sick person in Palestine. The healing of &quot;<em>all</em> that were oppressed by the Devil&quot; therefore suggests that we understand &quot;the devil&quot; here as referring not simply to the source of illness which needed healing. The healing was of &quot;all&quot; who were under the power of sin and who wanted freedom from that. So again we see a connection between the devil and sin.</p>
