Confirmed! The miracles of Jesus are true: this is why

There were a sufficient number of miracles First, the number of miracles that Jesus performed was sufficient for honest investigators to believe in them. The four gospels record Jesus performing about thirty-five separate miracles (or thirty-eight depending on how you number them). Most of the miracles performed by Jesus are recorded in more than one gospel. Two of his miracles, the feeding of the five thousand and the resurrection, are found in all four gospels.

Miracles were performed publicly Another important fact about Jesus' miracles is that they were done publicly. The apostle Paul said: I am not mad, most noble Festus, but I speak words of truth and reason. Because the king, before whom I also speak freely, knows these things; for I am convinced that none of these things escapes his attention, as this thing was not done in a corner (Acts 26:25, 26). The facts concerning Christ's miracles were obviously well known. Otherwise Paul could not make such a statement.

The miracles of Jesus

They were performed in front of large crowds When Jesus performed his miracles, he often did it in the presence of crowds. Some passages point out that multitudes and entire cities saw Jesus' miracles (Matthew 15:30, 31; 19: 1, 2; Mark 1: 32-34; 6: 53-56; Luke 6: 17-19).

They were not done to his advantage Jesus' miracles were not performed in his own interest but in the interest of others. He did not want to turn the stones into bread to eat, but multiplied the fish and the bread by five thousand. When Peter tried to stop the arrest of Jesus in Gethsemane, Jesus corrected His well-meaning swordplay. He also told Peter that it was within his ability to perform a miracle if necessary. Then Jesus said to him: "Put your sword back in its place, for all who take up the sword will perish by the sword." Or do you think I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will immediately make available more than twelve legions of angels? (Matthew 26:52, 53).

They were recorded by eyewitnesses We will emphasize once again that the accounts given to us in the four Gospels came from eyewitnesses. The writers Matthew and John were watchers of miracles and reported what they saw happening. Marco and Luca recorded the testimony of an eyewitness that was reported to them. Therefore, the miracles of Jesus are well confirmed by the people who were there. John the Evangelist wrote: What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and what our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life (1 John 1: 1).
