Robert R. Stearns: Expand the base. I love you all dearly, but I am [up] to here with going to Christian Zionist conferences and seeing the same 400 people. This room is too old and too Caucasian. It is time for us to reach out to our African brothers and sisters, our Latin American brothers and sisters, our Asian brothers and sisters. If we do nothing else than this when we leave this place, this is what we must do.

Ziv Elul: Great leaders do not build dependence on themselves; they build people, management teams and organizations capable of succeeding even on the day they are no longer at center stage. That is the difference between someone who leads a story and someone who builds a legacy.

"The Diaz family could use a little extra love and support right now. Celina, a devoted wife and mother, was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer, and her treatments begin soon. As they walk into this season, we want to surround them with love and help lighten the load in any way we can.

We’re starting a meal train to bless the family with warm meals, encouragement, and one less thing to worry about. If you feel led to give, pray, or provide a meal, know that your support will mean more than words can express. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus to this precious family."

MORTON SMITH: a cure may be described as "the bond" of a disease being "loosed." A helpful magician like Jesus will not only "loose" spells, afflicted persons…but will also "bind" the demons.

HELEN INGRAM: Since the world-view that was active in the first centuries associated sickness with demonic influence, many healers considered it necessary to bind the demon responsible for an illness in order to bring about the cure. Therefore binding and loosing are both terms that were closely related to healing in the ancient world. 

we can safely assume that the author of Luke intended healing to be understood as an exorcism.

"Demonic spirit of Cancer, I bind you in the Name of Jesus, by the power of the most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ and by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Michael the Archangel, the blessed Apostles, Peter and Paul and all of the saints, and I command you to leave Celina Diaz and go to the foot of the Holy Cross to receive your sentence, in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

DORIT KEIDAR: the name of the disease was the name of the demon.

Geoffrey Dennis: The magical ritual of reducing the word is intended to yield a parallel reduction in the severity of the illness.

AI Overview: Around 400 BC, Ἱπποκράτης identified what is now known as cervical cancer as a "cancer of the uterus."

Geoffrey Dennis: Jewish exorcisms are usually "liturgical," using protective passages from the Psalms and other sacred texts.

For Celina Diaz,,,

"Someone with cancer has the halachic status of an ill person whose life is in danger (cholah she’yesh bah sakanah). The preservation of life takes halachic priority over almost all other mitzvot."

Possible Assigned names: Edith or Idit (עִידִית), Edna or Adinah (עֲדִינָה), or Eucharis or Eucharia

AYELETT SHANI: For example, if someone who is very ill goes to a rabbi, the rabbi may instruct him to change his name or to add a letter to it, in order to be cured.

Rosh Hashanah 16b: Four things, even five, annul the decree that seals a person's fate: namely, charity, crying out, changing one's name, changing one's actions, and some even say changing one's place.
