It's not that they "couldn't" do it because of their lack of faith…

Matthew 13:58 states that because of their unbelief, they "did not do" rather than "could not do."
...The work of healing...is not solely the unilateral work of Jesus or the Holy Spirit; the person being healed needs trust (faith) in Jesus.
...Even if Jesus wants to heal, if the person being healed does not want it 😡, Jesus' power cannot be exerted.
...Regarding this situation...it says that Jesus was surprised by their unbelief 😱.
...For example...🤔
Even in the casting out of demons...if the person possessed by a demon does not want it cast out...😰
No matter how much you command in "Jesus' name," the demon will not leave!
...In India...I believe that the remarkable occurrences of healing and liberation were largely due to their "faith."

…Matthew 8:13.

"Then Jesus said to the centurion,
'Go, and let it be done to you as you believed.'
And at that moment his servant was healed."

…Your life too…will be the life you believe in.

Shalom 😀
