In biblical times, the act of bandaging was a common practice for treating wounds and injuries. The use of bandages is mentioned in several passages throughout the Bible, illustrating both physical healing and metaphorical restoration.

One of the most notable references to bandaging is found in the Parable of the Good Samaritan, as recounted in the Gospel of Luke. In this parable, Jesus describes a Samaritan who comes to the aid of a man who has been beaten and left for dead by the roadside. The Samaritan's compassionate actions include bandaging the man's wounds. Luke 10:34 states, "He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him." This act of mercy and care is emblematic of the love and compassion that Jesus calls His followers to show to others, transcending cultural and ethnic boundaries.

The use of bandages in the Bible also serves as a metaphor for God's healing and restoration. In the book of Isaiah, the prophet speaks of God's promise to heal and restore His people. Isaiah 1:6 describes the spiritual condition of Israel, saying, "From the sole of your foot to the top of your head, there is no soundness—only wounds and welts and festering sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil." Here, the lack of bandaging symbolizes the nation's spiritual neglect and need for divine intervention.

In the context of ancient Near Eastern culture, bandaging was an essential part of medical treatment. The application of bandages, often accompanied by oil and wine, was a practical means of cleansing and protecting wounds. This practice is reflected in the biblical narrative, where physical healing often parallels spiritual renewal.

The imagery of bandaging is also present in the prophetic writings concerning the Messiah. In Isaiah 61:1 , a passage that Jesus Himself reads in the synagogue, the prophet declares, "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners." The phrase "to bind up the brokenhearted" conveys the Messiah's mission to heal and restore those who are spiritually and emotionally wounded.

In summary, the concept of bandaging in the Bible is rich with meaning, encompassing both the physical act of healing and the broader spiritual restoration that God offers to His people. Through the imagery of bandages, the Scriptures reveal God's compassion and His desire to bring wholeness to a broken world.(imp. & p. p.) of Bandage.2611. katadeo -- to bind up
