You're talking about the dude famous for the command "love your enemy" and fraternizing with all kinds of "unsavory" people. He would absolutely not regard healing a crook as a mistake. It's a little alarming that you would.

Ed: not to mention the fact that, canonically anyway, he would definitely know in advance who/what they were.

I wasn't making any claims about what I would do.

Maybe I can better phrase my example..

Would Jesus heal a super sick / dying man who Jesus knew is gonna murder like 10 people as soon as he's better?

The thought problem in my example was about curing a person who will commit a serious crime in the future only after being healed enough to commit this crime. And the supernatural healer having this foreknowledge.
