Jesus Laid Hands on Many During His Lifetime

In the New Testament we read frequently that Jesus has laid his hands on another in order to heal them:

Mark 5:23

In this scene, a man in charge of the synagogue begs the Savior to come with him and heal his daughter.  He asks specifically that He lay hands on her so that He can heal her so she may live.

Luke 4:40

Jesus traveled to Simon's house, to see his sick mother.  He rebuked the fever and it left her. But, while He was there, those who were sick came to be healed.  He laid his hands on each and everyone one of them, giving them a healing blessing.

Luke: 13:12-13

Here Jesus heals a woman on the Sabbath day who had been afflicted her whole life with a spine condition. Maybe muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy.  He lays his hands on her and pronounces a blessing upon her and then has to contend with person who runs the synagogue.
