Jesus, the Christ: Miracles of not Particularly Described
Jump to: Nave'sLibrarySubtopicsTerms
Topical Encyclopedia
In the New Testament, the Gospels provide numerous accounts of Jesus performing miracles, which serve as signs of His divine authority and messianic identity. While many of these miracles are described in detail, there are several instances where the Gospel writers mention Jesus performing miracles without providing specific details about the nature or circumstances of these acts. These accounts underscore the breadth and frequency of Jesus' miraculous works during His earthly ministry.

General References to Miracles

The Gospel of Matthew records that Jesus went throughout Galilee, "teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people" (Matthew 4:23). This passage highlights the extensive nature of Jesus' healing ministry, suggesting numerous miracles that are not individually detailed.

Similarly, Matthew 9:35 states, "Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness." This summary indicates a widespread impact, with many miracles performed that are not specifically described.

Crowds and Multitudes

The Gospels frequently mention large crowds gathering around Jesus, drawn by His teaching and miraculous works. In Mark 3:10, it is noted, "For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him." This suggests a multitude of healings, many of which are not individually recounted.

Luke 6:19 provides another glimpse into the scope of Jesus' miracles: "The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all." This passage implies a continuous flow of miraculous healings, emphasizing the divine power emanating from Jesus.

Unrecorded Miracles

John's Gospel provides insight into the vast number of miracles performed by Jesus, many of which are not recorded in detail. John 20:30 states, "Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book." This acknowledgment suggests that the recorded miracles represent only a fraction of Jesus' miraculous works.

Furthermore, John 21:25 concludes with the hyperbolic statement, "There are many more things that Jesus did. If all were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written." This emphasizes the overwhelming abundance of Jesus' miraculous acts, many of which remain undescribed.

Implications of Undescribed Miracles

The references to undescribed miracles highlight the pervasive and transformative nature of Jesus' ministry. These accounts suggest that Jesus' miraculous works were a regular and integral part of His mission, serving as a testament to His divine authority and compassion. The sheer volume of these acts, as implied by the Gospel writers, underscores the profound impact Jesus had on those who encountered Him, affirming His identity as the Christ and the Son of God.
