In the context of the Bible, the term "scrapes" is not directly mentioned; however, the concept of physical injuries, including scrapes, can be understood through various passages that discuss wounds, healing, and the human condition. The Bible often uses physical ailments as metaphors for spiritual truths, while also addressing the reality of physical suffering and God's provision for healing.

Physical Injuries and Healing

The Bible acknowledges the reality of physical injuries and the need for healing. In Isaiah 1:6 , the prophet describes the sinful state of Israel using the imagery of physical wounds: "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." This passage highlights the need for both physical and spiritual healing, emphasizing God's role as the ultimate healer.

In the New Testament, Jesus' ministry is marked by numerous healings, demonstrating His compassion and divine authority. Matthew 4:23 states, "Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people." While the focus is often on more severe ailments, the inclusion of "every disease and sickness" suggests that even minor injuries, such as scrapes, are within the scope of God's concern and healing power.

Metaphorical Use of Wounds

The Bible frequently uses physical wounds as metaphors for spiritual conditions. In Proverbs 20:30 , it is written, "Blows that wound cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being." Here, the imagery of physical injury is used to convey the idea of discipline and purification, suggesting that just as physical wounds can lead to healing, spiritual wounds can lead to repentance and growth.

God's Care and Protection

Scripture assures believers of God's care and protection, even in the face of physical harm. Psalm 147:3 declares, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." This verse not only speaks to God's ability to heal physical injuries but also His concern for emotional and spiritual wounds. The imagery of binding wounds indicates a tender, attentive care that God extends to His people.

Furthermore, the Bible encourages believers to trust in God's protection. Psalm 91:11-12 promises, "For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone." This assurance of divine protection encompasses all forms of harm, including minor injuries like scrapes.

Practical Care and Community Support

The Bible also emphasizes the importance of practical care and community support in addressing physical needs. The parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:30-37 illustrates the call to love and care for one's neighbor, regardless of social or ethnic boundaries. The Samaritan's actions—bandaging wounds and providing for the injured man's recovery—serve as a model for Christian compassion and service.

In James 5:14-15 , the early church is instructed to care for the sick: "Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick." This passage highlights the role of the Christian community in providing both spiritual and physical support to those in need.

In summary, while the Bible does not specifically mention "scrapes," it provides a comprehensive understanding of physical injuries, healing, and God's compassionate care. Through both direct teachings and metaphorical language, Scripture addresses the reality of human suffering and the hope of divine restoration.
