: I don't recall reading in the Bible where an angel ever healed : anyone, and if we assume that Gandalf is a sort of angelic : being, then it fits in with Tolkien's religious views.Angels heal in the Bible. Among other references, there is a story in the New Testament about a pool where the invalid and ill people would go. Every hour an angel stirred the pool and whomever reached it first would be healed.
