analysis

G. A. Wells suggested that the passage [James 5:14-15] was evidence of late authorship of the epistle, on the grounds that the healing of the sick being done through an official body of presbyters (elders) indicated a considerable development of ecclesiastical organisation “whereas in Paul’s day to heal and work miracles pertained to believers indiscriminately (I Corinthians, XII:9).”
