How many miracles did Jesus perform?
The Gospels never give a numbered total and repeatedly summarize many additional healings. Depending on counting rules, modern lists often identify roughly 35–40 distinct narrated miracles. This page lists 33 major individual events without pretending that the number limits everything Jesus did.
What the signs reveal
More than displays of power
Jesus’ miracles respond to hunger, grief, exclusion, danger, illness, and spiritual oppression. They restore people to households and communities while raising questions about his identity and the arrival of God’s kingdom.
The Gospel of John frequently calls them “signs,” directing attention beyond the event to what it reveals. The Synoptic Gospels also connect mighty works with compassion, authority, faith, controversy, discipleship, and the refusal to perform spectacle on demand.

Miracles of Jesus FAQ
How many miracles did Jesus perform?
The Gospels do not provide a numbered total. Lists commonly count about 35–40 distinct narrated miracles, depending on whether parallel accounts, summary healings, and closely connected events are counted separately. John 21:25 also says Jesus did many other things not written in the book.
What was the first miracle of Jesus?
John calls turning water into wine at Cana the first of Jesus’ signs. It revealed his glory and led his disciples to believe in him.
What was Jesus’ last miracle before the crucifixion?
Luke records Jesus healing the ear of the high priest’s servant during the arrest. John later records a miraculous catch of fish after the resurrection.
Which miracle appears in all four Gospels?
The feeding of the five thousand is the only miracle from Jesus’ public ministry before the final week narrated in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Did Jesus perform miracles to prove himself on demand?
The Gospels connect miracles with compassion, the kingdom, faith, conflict, and signs of identity, but Jesus also refuses demands for spectacle and warns against seeing signs without understanding their meaning.
Are the miracles listed in exact chronological order?
This list follows a broad harmonized ministry sequence. The Gospels arrange some events differently for literary and theological purposes, so no single exact modern timeline should be treated as supplied by the text.
