Is laying of hands a command? Is it really necessary?

...lay your hand on the sick and they...

Some dont seem satisfied until they touch you while praying
 
When the sun went down, the people brought those who were sick to Jesus. Putting his hands on each sick person, he healed every one of them. Luke 4:40 NCV

Our Lord set the example for us to follow.
 
Laying hands on people is biblical. Jesus gave His disciples dunamis (power) and exousia (spiritual authority). God gave Jesus this anointing and Jesus has given it to us (followers that are His disciples). This must be done in the name of Jesus. Dunamis heals the soul and body where it has been wounded by sickness, disease, trauma, and all infirmities. It also deals with all miracles.

Exousia deals with commanding all demonic forces to leave that have put a person in bondage and strongholds from their sins or however they got permission to afflict you. It gives spiritual authority to the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven to bind and loose in Heaven and Earth. However you must always begin with the blood of Jesus and repent and confess your sins. The blood atones for every sin known and unknown.

Pray
1. Lord Jesus, I repent for any sin that I have committed that has wounded my soul. I know your blood atones for every sin in me. So wash me clean, every trespass, every transgression, every iniquity, every rebellion, every sin of unforgiveness, every sin of offense I committed against a person, every sin of offense that a person has sinned against me, and every sin both known and unknown in the name of Jesus. I decree your blood is going back in time to every place that I or my ancestors made a sin. Sin your blood all the way back to the garden and wash away every sin throughout time in my family line. I apply the power of the cross right now to my soul. I decree I am forgiven in the name of Jesus - Amen.

Pray
2. Lord Jesus, I forgive anyone that has sinned against me no matter what that sin was. I know my breakthrough is going to come when I forgive. I believe You! You will bring me into freedom as I walk through this with you. So I forgive every person that has hurt me, cheated me, abuse me, robbed me, talked about me, criticize me, and abandon me. I forgive anyone that has rejected me, hated me, betrayed me, deceived me, or neglected me. I release the power of the cross into everyone of these situations, and I repent for any unforgiveness I have held onto. And I ask You, would You cleanse me of it right now by the power of your blood in Jesus name - Amen.

Remember we need the cross and the resurrection (dunamis power) because sin has wound our soul.

Pray
3. Lord Jesus, I decree the same power that You used to heal people in their bodies and their souls lives in me. I have been resurrected with you so dunamis power lives in my spirit. I release it right now into my wounded soul and into my physical body. I decree every wound inside of me that came from sin or trauma is being healed right now by resurrection dunamis power. I am excellent of soul! I am excellent of soul! I am excellent of soul and I have the power to perform a miracle in my physical body as well. I decree that dunamis is healing every sickness, every disease, and every disorder in my soul and my body right now in Jesus name. I am being healed in soul and body in the name of Jesus - Amen.

Finally releasing Christ authority in us by speaking the name of Jesus. When we speak the name of Jesus it releases the anointing of exousia that Christ gives to all His disciples. Remember the word exousia means the power of Him who's will and commands must be submitted to and obeyed. So your soul just got healed by dunamis, now as you say the name of Jesus demons will have to submit to your commands.

Pray
4. In the name of Jesus, I release exousia anointing I am carrying right now. Jesus gave it to me so every spirit afflicting my soul, my body, and any part of my life must go now in Jesus name. I decree every demonic assignment you must obey my command now in the name of Jesus. I command you to leave right now in Jesus name. Loose me in Jesus name! Go in the name of Jesus! Take with you every disease, and every affliction they you put on me. I break your assignments right now in the mighty name of Jesus. In Jesus name - Amen.

Is there a scripture?

Not directly that I'm aware of. That's why I referred to it as an old adage. I heard it during the years I was growing up.

(I just noticed that Classik's OP wasn't included in my post ... apparently a bit of a glitch occurred there, as I was responding to the OP)

Acts 19:11-20 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)

The Sons of Sceva

11 God used Paul to do some very special miracles. 12 Some people carried away handkerchiefs and clothes that Paul had used and put them on those who were sick. The sick people were healed, and evil spirits left them.

13-14 Some Jews also were traveling around forcing evil spirits out of people. The seven sons of Sceva, one of the leading priests, were doing this. These Jews tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus to make the evil spirits go out of people. They all said, “By the same Jesus that Paul talks about, I order you to come out!”

15 But one time an evil spirit said to these Jews, “I know Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”

16 Then the man who had the evil spirit inside him jumped on these Jews. He was much stronger than all of them. He beat them up and tore their clothes off. They all ran away from that house.

17 All the people in Ephesus, Jews and Greeks, learned about this. They were all filled with fear and gave great honor to the Lord Jesus. 18 Many of the believers began to confess, telling about all the evil things they had done. 19 Some of them had used magic. These believers brought their magic books and burned them before everyone. These books were worth about 50,000 silver coins.[a] 20 This is how the word of the Lord was spreading in a powerful way, causing more and more people to believe.
