I guess, in the--in the--the provinces of Canada alone, there was at least two hundred and fifty, or maybe more than that, cases of cross-eyed people with their eyes straightened. And mutes, it's innumerable to count them, for there was multiplied scores of them that came, that were some deaf, dumb, some hard of hearing and everything that were made perfectly whole. Now, that's only done through the visitation of the Angel. | ''Well, I'd say '''twenty-five or thirty-five thousand people, prayed for, maybe more than that.

=Conclusion= | |||
Was everyone healed that William Branham prayed for? Based on the testimony of independent observers, the answer is a clear "no". | |||
Were as many healed as William Branham claimed? Again, based on the testimony of independent observers, the answer is also an emphatic "no". | |||
William Branham made the excuse for himself for the vast majority of those who were not healed that they simply did not have faith. And those whom he proclaimed to be healed could lose their faith if their faith faltered. | |||
It is also clear that this is not the biblical pattern. | |||
