<<<You ask: What is the greater work - the healing of the body or the healing of the soul >>>
According to the footnotes given in the Spirit Filled Life Bible re the greater works in Jn 14:12.

The promise is not that the disciples of Jesus will perform works that are greater in value or significance than His. Rather they are greater in scope and number, in these respects: 1) Because He was crucified, Jesus' earthly ministry was limited to only a few years, but after the Resurrection and Pentecost, His ministry was and continue to be multiplied through Spirit-empowered believers. 2) Our works include the preaching of the gospel, resulting in the blessings of justification, reconciliation, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit coming to humankind - all post-Resurrection manifestations of Christ's reign (see Jn 5:20).

In Jn 9:1-34, you must be familiar with the miraculous work of Jesus in healing the born-blind man. And in the preceding verses of Jn 14:10,11 Jesus explained that the miracles He performed showed that they could only be the works of Father God when Philip asked Jesus to show them the Father. What I am showing you is the works of Jesus which INCLUDE and without a shadow of doubt, the miracle of healing the physical body as in the case of healing of the blind man's eyes.
Just believe and asks for the release of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the gifts of healings and working of miracles as you minister healing to the sick and see souls coming into the Kingdom of God. Remember, to give God the glory for His works of healing.
For His glory,
