Healing or being restored from affliction · dominant
Active forms occur where people heal the sick: in Matthew 4:23 the APB renders the participial clause as healing every illness and sickness, and in Luke 7:21 it renders the aorist action as healing many from illnesses and other afflictions. Passive forms present people as receiving this outcome, as in Acts 28:9, where those with diseases came and were healed, and Revelation 13:3, where a mortal wound was healed.

Being served by human hands · rare
In Acts 17:25, the present passive indicative singular occurs in the statement that God is not served by human hands, followed by the reason that he gives life, breath, and everything.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the healing contexts, the APB commonly uses “heal,” “healed,” or “healing,” including for illnesses and for the mortal wound in Revelation 13:3. In Acts 17:25 it uses “served”; these are translation renderings of whole clauses.
