Neville Goddard on Luke 5:17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 5 in context

Scripture Focus

17And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

Luke 5:17

Biblical Context

Luke 5:17 presents Jesus teaching while the power of the Lord is present to heal. The healing work begins in the mind as consciousness opens to presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the crowd is not merely bodies but the chorus of old beliefs in your own mind. When the teaching begins, the power of the Lord is not somewhere out there but the very breath of your I AM. Healing comes not as a separate event from your awareness, but as a shift in consciousness where belief yields to presence. The Pharisee-like voices symbolize habitual thoughts that insist healing must come by effort or external sign. Yet Luke 5:17 declares that the power to heal is present in the moment of teaching, available to all who listen with a still, permeable heart. If you attend to your inner classroom and assume that the power is here now, you will feel the healing energy moving through your mind, not merely your body. By resting in I AM and trusting the atmosphere of awareness, you align with the truth that God is consciousness expressing as you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and say, The power of the Lord is present to heal my mind now. Revise any sense of separation by affirming that healing is the natural activity of I AM already at work.
