How many miracles did Jesus perform?
33 listed here
The Gospels do not give a total. John 20:30–31 explicitly says that other signs were not recorded in that book; Matthew 4:23–24 summarizes many healings. The entries below are selected reading passages, not a complete count of Jesus’ miracles.
What the signs reveal
Read what happens around the miracle
At Nain, Jesus has compassion on a grieving mother and gives her son back to her (Luke 7:11–17). In Matthew 12:28, he connects casting out demons with the arrival of God’s kingdom. John 20:30–31 explains that the recorded signs are meant to lead readers to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
The responses are not always welcoming. After the man born blind receives sight, he is questioned and cast out before Jesus finds him again (John 9:13–38). The withering fig tree also belongs in the list; not every account is a healing or a scene of comfort. Read the surrounding passage rather than turning one outcome into a promise that faith guarantees health or acceptance.

Miracles of Jesus in order
The order is a reading aid, not an exact timeline. Parallel passages are grouped for comparison, with one category per entry even where healing and deliverance overlap. Other episodes, such as the healing at Bethesda (John 5:1–15) and the man who was blind and unable to speak (Matthew 12:22–28), are outside this selection. Read Jesus’ resurrection separately. Each reference link opens the World English Bible; the artwork is an illustration, not a historical portrait.- 01Provision & nature

Miracles of Jesus FAQ
How many miracles did Jesus perform?
The Gospels do not give a total. John 20:30 says Jesus did other signs not recorded in that book, and Matthew 4:23–24 summarizes many healings without counting them individually. Our 33 entries are a selection, not an exhaustive total. Other lists differ in how they group parallel accounts, summary healings, the transfiguration, and Jesus’ own resurrection.
What was the first miracle of Jesus?
John 2:11 calls the water becoming wine at Cana the beginning of Jesus’ signs. John says this revealed his glory and that his disciples believed in him. That is the first sign John identifies, not a dated inventory of everything Jesus ever did.
What was Jesus’ last miracle before the crucifixion?
The last individual healing narrated before Jesus’ death is the healing of the high priest’s servant’s ear during the arrest, in Luke 22:50–51. This describes the order of the recorded accounts, not proof that nothing else happened. John 21:1–14 records a catch of fish after Jesus’ resurrection.
Which miracle appears in all four Gospels?
All four narrate the feeding of the five thousand: Matthew 14:13–21, Mark 6:30–44, Luke 9:10–17, and John 6:1–15. It should not be confused with the feeding of the four thousand. All four Gospels also proclaim Jesus’ resurrection, which is not counted among this page’s 33 entries.
Did Jesus perform miracles to prove himself on demand?
No. In Mark 8:11–13, Jesus refuses a demand for a sign intended to test him. Luke 23:8–9 says Herod hopes to see a miracle, but Jesus does not even answer his questions. John 20:30–31 gives a different purpose for the recorded signs: belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
Are the miracles listed in exact chronological order?
No. This is a broad reading sequence from Cana to the post-resurrection catch of fish. Parallel passages are grouped for comparison, not treated as identical accounts. Matthew, Mark, and Luke sometimes differ in setting, number of people, or the way a sequence is told; the notes preserve those differences.
