The article provides a brief panoramic review of the narrative plot of the Gospel of Matthew 8:2-9:35 in the context of the therapeutic ministry of Jesus. The article analyzes both Jesus' motivation for healing and therapy, also the therapeutic methods used by Jesus. As a result, the therapeutic aspects of Mt. 8:2-9:35 are placed in a soteriological key, which is reflected by the analysis of the organic connection between Jesus' therapy and the gift of salvation. The relevance of the article is due to the growing interest in the historical search for the Jesus Christ and the current state of research – the so-called Nest Quest.
