Charles,

Please, PLEASE, don't delete all of the pertinent information (such as
the passage under discussion) when you reply -- trim it, yes.

Yes, it refers to healing.  Jesus says, 

EGW ELQWN QERAPEUSW AUTON

and the centurion replies 

ALLA MONON EIPE LOGWi, KAI hIAQHSETA hO PAIS MOU

The light happens the Hebrew is 

WaY.o)MeR )e:LoHiYM Y:Hi )oWR WaY:Hi_)oWR

God said, "Let light be," and light was.
