Key facts
- The Gospels document thirty-seven specific miracles performed by Jesus, while noting that countless other unrecorded miracles occurred (John 21:25).
- Biblical miracles are designated by three key Greek terms: semeion (signs pointing to truth), teras (wonders evoking awe), and dunamis (mighty acts of power).
- Jesus' miracles were never performed as parlor tricks or vanity, but to alleviate human misery, validate His messianic claims, and reverse the curse of the Fall.
- In the Book of Acts, apostolic miracles served to confirm the Gospel message as it crossed geographical and cultural frontiers from Jerusalem to Rome.
Frequently asked questions
What was Jesus' very first recorded miracle?
Turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana of Galilee (John 2:1-11), which John designates as the first 'sign' revealing His divine glory.
What are the four primary categories of Jesus' miracles?
Healings (blind, lepers, paralytics), Deliverances (casting out demonic spirits), Nature miracles (calming storm, feeding 5,000), and Resurrections (Lazarus, widow's son, Jairus' daughter).
Why did Jesus sometimes tell people not to publicize His miracles?
Known as the 'Messianic Secret,' Jesus wished to avoid sensationalist crowds seeking political rebellion or free food rather than genuine repentance, and to protect His divine timetable before the Cross.
Do miracles continue today?
Continuationists affirm that the Holy Spirit continues to work supernaturally and heal according to His sovereign will, while Cessationists argue that apostolic sign-gifts ceased with the closing of the biblical canon.
