Hi -
The Bible says in Luke 22:50, 51 - KJV, "And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. and Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him."
As far what the Bible says about Jesus healing lepers . . . Paul Johnson (elsewhere on FB) mentioned about Jesus healing lepers. (I removed that post because some fact checking was needed . . . ) I discovered that the limbs of lepers DON'T fall off.
The following excerpt is from Wikipedia: "Contrary to folklore, leprosy does not cause body parts to fall off, although they can become numb or diseased as a result of secondary infections; these occur as a result of the body's defenses being compromised by the primary disease.[11][12] Secondary infections, in turn, can result in tissue loss causing fingers and toes to become shortened and deformed, as cartilage is absorbed into the body"

So besides in Bible content, there have been NO reports that we know of -- of limbs growing back AFTER amputations. And surely, if such REALLY happened/happens, there would indeed be historical evidence and -- these days -- videos . . . But such is JUST in the Bible? Hmmm
Why won't God heal amputees?
The Bible does say relative to prayer/asking/believing:
"Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
"John 14:14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."
"Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"
"Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief:for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
"Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

This is a lengthy article, but WELL WORTH THE READ. If not all at once, certainly to be bookmarked and returned to later. Here's the link:
