All 37 Miracles of Jesus in Order (With Scriptures and Summary)
Quick Summary
Jesus performed 37 recorded miracles across the four Gospels. These include healing the sick, casting out demons, controlling nature, and raising the dead. Below is a chronological list of all Jesus’ miracles with Bible references and spiritual insights.
Introduction
The Gospels record the awe-inducing wisdom of Jesus, his wise teachings, and his profound miracles. The writer of the Gospel of John calls the miracles a “sign,” that is, special acts that demonstrate Jesus’ identity as the Messiah who has divine authority over illnesses and matters of faith.
In what follows, I account for the miracles Jesus did in order. I also link to sermons or articles/bible studies that connect to the miracle.
If a miracle is recorded in one gospel, I provide a link in the explainer notes.
If a miracle is recorded in multiple gospels, I link to the passage citation.
