Luke 6:17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Luk 6:18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
Luk 6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
The Greek word for virtue is also translated as power. It is dynamis, from which we get the word dynamite. When Nobel invented dynamite he meant it for good. It was able to blast through rock, however it also was used for bad things, especially in war. He wanted it to be used for good so there was a Nobel peace prize given yearly for those bringing about peace. However, like all things of man, this too was corrupted to reward political ideologies.
