The miracles of Jesus
Every miracle of Jesus was a sign — a window onto who he is. Water into wine, storms stilled, the blind given sight, the dead raised. Here is each one in the King James Version, with its meaning made plain.
Calming the Storm
Asleep in the stern, then a word to the wind: Peace, be still.
The Withered Fig Tree
A leafy tree with no fruit — an acted parable of empty religion.
Feeding the Five Thousand
Five loaves, two fish, and twelve baskets left over — the only miracle in all four Gospels.
The Pool of Bethesda
Thirty-eight years an invalid, and one question: wilt thou be made whole?
Blind Bartimaeus
A beggar shouts over the crowd for mercy — and will not be silenced.
Jairus' Daughter
Talitha cumi — a little girl called back from death by the hand.
The Ten Lepers
Ten are healed; one comes back to give thanks.
The Bleeding Woman
Twelve years of suffering ended by one touch of his garment's hem.
The Centurion's Servant
A Roman soldier's faith astonishes Jesus: only speak the word.
Healing the Leper
The untouchable is touched — and made clean.
The Man Born Blind
Clay, spit, a wash in Siloam — and one unshakeable testimony: now I see.
The Paralytic Through the Roof
Four friends dig through a roof — and Jesus forgives before he heals.
Walking on Water
A figure on the waves at night, and Peter's brief, sinking walk of faith.
Raising Lazarus
Four days in the tomb, and a dead man called out by name.
The Widow of Nain's Son
He stops a funeral, touches the bier, and gives a mother back her only son.
The Catch of 153 Fish
The risen Christ cooks breakfast, and fills the nets one more time.
The Miraculous Catch
Nets breaking after a fruitless night — and fishermen who leave it all to follow.
The Transfiguration
For a moment on the mountain, the veil lifts and his glory shines through.
Water into Wine
The first miracle — the best wine, kept until last, at a village wedding.
Signs, not spectacles
John calls the miracles of Jesus signs — they point beyond themselves to his identity and his kingdom. He turned water to wine to reveal his glory, fed the crowds as the bread of life, and raised Lazarus as the resurrection and the life. Each wonder is an acted sermon.
