Description
It goes without saying that you can hardly throw a stone in both the OT and NT without hitting someone getting healed by God. Healing was not only an integral part of God’s covenant with Israel, but it is likewise an integral part of the kingdom of God message - the same kingdom we live in today - which Jesus preached during his ministry. As such, the purpose of these volumes is to show that God is not only a God who healed, but that he is a God who wants to heal those who are willing to take hold of it by faith today (Mal 3:6, Acts 10:34-35).
The Healings in Acts are organized as such:
Volume 5.01: Peter Heals the Crippled Beggar (Acts 3:1-16)
Volume 5.02: Peter's Shadow and the Sick of Jerusalem (Acts 5:12-16)
Volume 5.03: Ananias Heals Saul's Blindness (Acts 9:1-18)
Volume 5.04: Peter Heals the Paralytic Aeneas (Acts 9:32-35)
Volume 5.05: Peter Raises Tabitha from the Dead (Acts 9:36-41)
Volume 5.06: Paul Heals a Crippled Man (Acts 14:8-10)
Volume 5.07: Paul's Handkerchiefs and the Multitudes (Acts 19:8-12)
Volume 5.08: Paul Shakes Off the Viper (Acts 28:3-6)
Volume 5.09: Paul Heal's the Father of Publius (Acts 28:7-9)

Acts
9
1
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats to murder the Lord's disciples, went to the high priest
2
and requested letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, either men or women, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3
As he was going along, approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4
He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"
5
So he said, "Who are you, Lord?" He replied, "I am Jesus whom you are persecuting!
6
But stand up and enter the city and you will be told what you must do."
7
(Now the men who were traveling with him stood there speechless, because they heard the voice but saw no one.)
8
So Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he could see nothing. Leading him by the hand, his companions brought him into Damascus.
9
For three days he could not see, and he neither ate nor drank anything.
10
Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias," and he replied, "Here I am, Lord."
11
Then the Lord told him, "Get up and go to the street called 'Straight,' and at Judas' house look for a man from Tarsus named Saul. For he is praying,
12
and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and place his hands on him so that he may see again."
13
But Ananias replied, "Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,
14
and here he has authority from the chief priests to imprison all who call on your name!"
15
But the Lord said to him, "Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel.
16
For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name."
17
So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed his hands on Saul and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
18
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,
