Jesus as Chasidim - Mark 1:29-34

29 As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her.31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.

Jesus heals a number of people of various ailments throughout the book of Mark. This is not uncommon in writings of the time about other great Rabbis and the assumption is not that the individual themselves performed the healing, but their favor with God meant that God did the healing at their behest.

In fact, the literature of the time, both Jewish and non-Jewish, is filled with healings and other miracles being attributed to important figures. This seems to be a common literary device to affirm the importance and validity of the figure being discussed. For example, Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and philosopher, was "documented" as having performed a series of miracles that rivals anything found in the Gospels.

Jesus has no recognized right by mainstream Jewish tradition to offer his own teaching, his own Mishnah, or interpretation of Scripture.  Not having been certified by semicha, rabbinic ordination, Jesus did not have, s'mikhahto, "authority".  His claim to legitimacy and the right to speak rests on being a Chasidium, a Rabbi who can dispense the mercy of God.  The examples the writer of Mark gives of God dispensing his mercy through Jesus in the form of healing and exorcism are an effort to validate Jesus and his teaching by demonstrating God's willingness to work through him.  

Hasidim/Chasidim (Hebrew: חסידים‎) is the plural of Hasid (חסיד), meaning "pious". The honorific "Hasid" was frequently used as a term of exceptional respect in the Talmudic and early medieval periods.... The literal meaning of "Hasid" derives from Chesed-"kindness", the outward expression of love for God and other people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasidim

Bruce Chilton, in his book, "Rabbi Jesus: An Intimate Biography", describes a Chasidium as a Rabbi who was able to dispense the mercy of God by curing sickness or relieving drought through prayer. They were ancient Judaism's shawmans, faith healers, witch doctors and sorcerers. The term was first applied to Jews during the Maccabean revolt following the desecration of the Temple by the Seleucids in 167 B.C.E. who preferred to die rather than do violence on the Shabbath (1 Maccabees 2:29-48). Having known the "chesed", the compassion of God, they refuse to betray him. That Jesus followed in this tradition might also be surmised by his refusal to allow his disciples to defend him using violence when he is arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane when his execution was a foregone conclusion.

A famous Chasidium who was a contemporary of Jesus was Chanina ben Dosa. He lived near Nazareth and said healing stemmed from the fluency of his prayer. He was famous for healing the son of Gamaliel, a leader of the Pharisees in Jerusalem.

The stories of Jesus' miracles, healings, and mighty deeds in the Gospel are used to establish his right to offer a Mishnah under an alternate Jewish tradition as well as using the established literary device common to the Mediterranean region of the time to affirm Jesus' importance and validity.
