The Miracles of Jesus:

This list follows a general Chronological Order of Events as nearly as I can discern it from comparing the 4 Gospels. Anyone who thinks a different order is better is welcome to re-arrange it.

It includes Miraculous Events attending Jesus’ Ministry which some do not list.

Attempting to “count” the number of Miracles performed by Jesus is pointless and silly. The Text often tells us that He traveled about healing the sick and casting out Demons without providing any clue what-so-ever as to the total figures.

This begins with John and Andrew who had been followers of John the Baptist until Jesus emerged from just having fasted 40 days and nights and then they left John the Baptist to follow Jesus.

—————-

I have generally followed the order given by John as much as possible seeing that according t o John Himself, he and Andrew were Jesus’ first disciples quickly followed by Philip and Nathaniel.

Jesus spent a short time in Judea and then headed to Galilee, going direct through Samaria which was highly unusual for a Jew to do. It was then He met the Samaritan woman at the well.

He went all the way to Cana for a wedding and then back to Nazareth to announce Himself as the Messiah in his home Synagogue. This had to be His 30th birthday that very day.

Basically rejected by His neighbors, He went on to Capernaum where He picked up Peter and James. Peter already knew of Jesus because his brother Andrew had gone on ahead to tell him that they had found the Messiah.

After going around the city and countryside healing people and casting out Devils, Jesus was beginning to have huge crowds following Him and it was at that time He gave the Sermon on the Mount.

I base this mostly on John because he was the only one of the 4 Gospel writers who had been with Jesus from the beginning. Peter came into it early after that, Matthew (Levi) quite a bit later, and John Mark toward the very end of Jesus’ Ministry. Paul and Luke had neither one been a disciple but Luke did meticulous interviews of eye witnesses (including even Jesus’ mother) to confirm his accounts - so he is not to be discounted.

The most difficult problems for us at this late date is the fact that the Gospel writers were not overly concerned about the order in which the events occurred - all that was important to them was that they made a record of them.

So, this has befuddled Bible students for years because WE want everything in chronological order as well.

Shalom,
