At the risk of appearing redundant:
"When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?” And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him." (Luke 22:49-51 NIV)
God does heal amputees.
God (not Jesus) can heal the amputees and every disease and affliction, if He wants to do that.
Jesus only prays God and God answers if He wants to do so, and if He does not want, nothing will be done.
So not everything Jesus or others want, and God answers it.
The miracles are restricted: the apostle or messenger cannot do any miracle, unless God permits it.
Quran 13: 38, which means
{
And it was never the part of any messenger to bring a miracle [of His own accord, and he could not do that] except as God permitted b. }
.......................................................................
b It means: Except the miracle which God gave to him, he would bring it to his people and he could not bring anyone else.
E.g. if Pharaoh said to Moses: “I don’t accept this staff from you, which you cast on the ground to become a serpent, but I will give you another staff, which you may cast on the ground to become a serpent,” then if Moses cast it on the ground, it would not be a serpent.
As such, every prophet has his special miracle from God, which he cannot bring anyone else of his own accord, but only according to God’s permission.
Moreover, each nation has its suitable miracle, on account of the different time, languages, doctrines and knowledge acquired by that nation; so this is the meaning of (
For every period was a book.)
It means: To each time is a special kind of miracles which suit that time, a book suiting that period of time, the religious statements included in that book which suited the generation of that time, and a messenger or apostle proper for that particular nation.
Therefore, the staff [of Moses] suited the time of Pharaoh, because the magic was prevalent with them, so Moses brought the staff and invalidated their magic.
The reviving of the dead suited the time of Jesus, because medicine was prevalent with them, and physicians were unable to do like to what Jesus did of healing the congenitally blind and the albino.
The Quran suited the Arab and their time, because they were fluent and eloquent in their language, so God – be glorified – said in the Quran 52: 34, which means:
(
Then let them produce ‘words’ like the [Quran] if they are truthful [in their claim that Mohammed has invented it.])
The interpretation is by Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilly.
