Water becomes wine	Provision / nature	—	—	—	John 2:1-11
Water becomes wine Link to this entry What happened At a wedding in Cana, Jesus told the servants to fill six stone jars with water and take some to the master of the feast. The water had become wine, and the master praised its quality without knowing where it had come from. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Cana in Galilee People involved Wedding hosts and guests Textual emphasis John introduces this sign as a revelation of Jesus' glory. The servants knew where the wine had come from, and His disciples responded by believing in Him. The account directs our attention to who Jesus is, rather than to a method for obtaining material blessings. Keep in mind John gives the number of jars and their approximate capacity, but he does not give a guest count or an exact final volume of wine. The servants obeyed Jesus; their obedience did not supply the power that changed the water.

The royal official's son is healed	Healing	—	—	—	John 4:46-54
The royal official's son is healed Link to this entry What happened A nobleman came from Capernaum to ask Jesus to heal his dying son. Jesus remained in Cana and told him that his son would live; the servants later confirmed that the fever had left at the very hour Jesus spoke. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Jesus in Cana; child in Capernaum People involved An official's seriously ill son Textual emphasis The father trusted Jesus' word before he could see what had happened at home. When he learned the time of the recovery, he and his household believed. The distance between Cana and Capernaum did not limit Jesus' authority. Keep in mind This is the nobleman's son, not the centurion's servant. John has already mentioned signs in Jerusalem, so his description of this as the second sign in connection with Jesus' return to Galilee should not be turned into a claim that Jesus had performed only one miracle before it. Topics Faith; distance healing Scripture references John 4:46-54; John 2:23 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
An unclean spirit is expelled in the synagogue	Deliverance	—	Mark 1:21-28	Luke 4:31-37	—
An unclean spirit is expelled in the synagogue Link to this entry What happened While Jesus taught in the synagogue at Capernaum, a man with an unclean spirit cried out. Jesus silenced the spirit and commanded it to leave, and the people were astonished at His authority. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Capernaum People involved A man with an unclean spirit Textual emphasis The people heard teaching with authority and then saw that authority exercised over an unclean spirit. Jesus did not negotiate with the demon or depend on its testimony about Him. His command was enough to make it leave. Keep in mind Luke records that the demon threw the man down but did not injure him. This passage identifies an unclean spirit explicitly; it does not give us permission to call every illness or disability demonic. Topics Authority; deliverance Scripture references Mark 1:21-28; Luke 4:31-37 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Peter's mother-in-law is healed	Healing	Matthew 8:14-15	Mark 1:29-31	Luke 4:38-39	—
Peter's mother-in-law is healed Link to this entry What happened Jesus came to Peter's house, where Peter's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever. He healed her, and she got up and served those present. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Peter's house in Capernaum People involved Peter's mother-in-law Textual emphasis The Gospel accounts describe the same recovery from different viewpoints. Matthew mentions Jesus touching her hand, Mark says He took her hand and lifted her up, and Luke records His rebuke of the fever. Her immediate return to serving shows the recovery the writers describe. Keep in mind The woman is not named. Her service followed the healing; the account does not make work, payment, or a promised act of service a condition of receiving it. Topics Compassion; restoration Scripture references Matthew 8:14-15; Mark 1:29-31; Luke 4:38-39 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
The first great catch of fish	Provision / nature	—	—	Luke 5:1-11	—
The first great catch of fish Link to this entry What happened After Simon and his partners had caught nothing through the night, Jesus told Simon to let down the net for a catch. They caught so many fish that they needed another boat, and both boats began to sink. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Lake of Gennesaret People involved Simon Peter and his fishing partners Textual emphasis Simon responded to the catch by confessing his sinfulness before Jesus. Jesus answered his fear with a call to follow Him and become a fisher of people. The account moves from an extraordinary catch to the disciples leaving their former work to follow Christ. Keep in mind Luke gives no total number of fish. The nets were breaking and the boats were beginning to sink; the text does not say that either boat sank. This event is distinct from the catch after the resurrection in John 21. Topics Calling; authority; humility Scripture references Luke 5:1-11 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
A man with leprosy is cleansed	Healing	Matthew 8:1-4	Mark 1:40-45	Luke 5:12-16	—
A man with leprosy is cleansed Link to this entry What happened A man with leprosy asked whether Jesus was willing to make him clean. Jesus touched him and healed him, then instructed him to show himself to the priest and present the offering Moses had commanded. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Galilee; exact place not stated People involved A man described as leprous Textual emphasis The man's question concerned Jesus' willingness, not His ability. Jesus' answer and touch show compassion for the man, while the instruction about the priest places the healing within the requirements given to Israel. Mark also records that the man's publicity made it difficult for Jesus to enter towns openly. Keep in mind The Gospel writers describe the man's condition as leprosy. They do not supply the clinical evidence needed to identify its precise modern diagnosis. His cleansing should not be turned into a rule that every believer will receive immediate physical healing. Topics Compassion; cleansing Scripture references Matthew 8:1-4; Mark 1:40-45; Luke 5:12-16; Leviticus 13:45-46; Leviticus 14:1-32 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
A paralytic is forgiven and healed	Healing	Matthew 9:1-8	Mark 2:1-12	Luke 5:17-26	—
A paralytic is forgiven and healed Link to this entry What happened People brought a paralyzed man to Jesus, and Mark and Luke describe lowering him through the roof. Jesus first announced forgiveness, then told the man to get up and carry his bed home; he did so in front of the crowd. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Capernaum People involved A paralyzed man brought by others Textual emphasis Jesus explained why He gave the visible command to walk: the people were to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. The healing therefore confirms a claim about His authority that His critics had challenged. It is more than an account of physical recovery. Keep in mind Matthew does not describe the opening in the roof, but that omission is not a denial of the details in Mark and Luke. The passages are grouped as accounts of one event. They do not say that the man's paralysis resulted from a particular personal sin. Topics Forgiveness; authority; faith Scripture references Matthew 9:1-8; Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17-26 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
The man at Bethesda is healed	Healing	—	—	—	John 5:1-15
The man at Bethesda is healed Link to this entry What happened At the pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem, Jesus met a man who had been ill for thirty-eight years. Jesus told him to get up, carry his bed, and walk, and the man was healed immediately. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Pool of Bethesda, Jerusalem People involved A man ill for 38 years Textual emphasis The man explained that he had no one to help him into the pool. Jesus healed him without taking him into the water, and the carrying of his bed led to a Sabbath dispute. When Jesus later found him in the temple, He also addressed the man's need to turn from sin. Keep in mind The NKJV includes the angel and the stirring of the water in John 5:3-4, consistent with this ministry's received-text approach. In the healing actually narrated here, Jesus restores the man directly. The passage does not say that the man had spent all thirty-eight years beside the pool. Topics Sabbath; restoration Scripture references John 5:1-15 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
A withered hand is restored	Healing	Matthew 12:9-14	Mark 3:1-6	Luke 6:6-11	—
A withered hand is restored Link to this entry What happened In a synagogue on the Sabbath, Jesus called a man with a withered hand to stand before the others. He told him to stretch out his hand, and it was restored. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting A synagogue; town not stated in this event People involved A man with a withered hand Textual emphasis Jesus exposed the hardness of those who watched for a reason to accuse Him. He asked whether the Sabbath was a day for doing good and saving life, then restored the man's hand. Mark records both His anger and His grief at their hard hearts. Keep in mind Luke identifies the affected hand as the right one. None of these event accounts names the town, so the chart does not assign the healing to Capernaum merely because other synagogue events happened there. Topics Sabbath; mercy Scripture references Matthew 12:9-14; Mark 3:1-6; Luke 6:6-11 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
The centurion's servant is healed	Healing	Matthew 8:5-13	—	Luke 7:1-10	—
The centurion's servant is healed Link to this entry What happened A centurion appealed to Jesus on behalf of his seriously ill servant. Jesus healed the servant without entering the house, and He commended the centurion's faith. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Capernaum People involved A centurion's servant Textual emphasis The centurion understood authority through his own experience of giving and receiving commands. He trusted that Jesus could act by His word without being physically beside the servant. Jesus contrasted that confidence with the unbelief He had encountered in Israel. Keep in mind Matthew presents the centurion's appeal directly, while Luke describes Jewish elders and then friends carrying his messages. Speaking through representatives is a reasonable explanation of the two accounts, but it should be identified as an explanation rather than an additional narrated scene. Topics Faith; authority; Gentiles Scripture references Matthew 8:5-13; Luke 7:1-10 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
The widow's son at Nain is raised	Raising the dead	—	—	Luke 7:11-17	—
The widow's son at Nain is raised Link to this entry What happened As Jesus approached Nain, a funeral procession was carrying out a widow's only son. Jesus had compassion on her, stopped the procession, and called the young man to rise; he sat up and began to speak. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Nain People involved A widow and her only son Textual emphasis Luke draws attention to the mother's loss before describing the miracle. Jesus approached her in compassion, and the account ends with Him returning her son to her. The crowd responded with fear and praise, recognizing that God had visited His people. Keep in mind Luke does not record a request for healing or a prior profession of faith from the widow. This return to earthly life should be distinguished from the final resurrection to an incorruptible body described in 1 Corinthians 15. Topics Compassion; life Scripture references Luke 7:11-17; 1 Corinthians 15:42-54 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
A blind and mute demonized man is healed	Deliverance with healing	Matthew 12:22-32	—	Luke 11:14-23 (possible parallel)	—
A blind and mute demonized man is healed Link to this entry What happened Matthew records Jesus healing a demon-possessed man who was both blind and mute. Luke describes a mute man speaking after a demon left; both accounts lead into a dispute about the source of Jesus' power. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Exact place not stated People involved A man unable to see or speak Textual emphasis The crowd's response and the leaders' accusation bring the question of Jesus' identity into the open. Jesus explains that Satan would not advance his own kingdom by destroying it. In Matthew, He says that His work by the Spirit of God shows that God's kingdom has come upon them. Keep in mind Luke does not mention blindness. These passages are grouped provisionally because of their closely related settings and teaching, but neither Gospel explicitly identifies its event with the other. Treating Luke's account separately would change the catalogue total. Topics Deliverance; kingdom; opposition Scripture references Matthew 12:22-32; Luke 11:14-23 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
The storm is calmed	Nature	Matthew 8:23-27	Mark 4:35-41	Luke 8:22-25	—
The storm is calmed Link to this entry What happened A storm struck while Jesus and His disciples were crossing the lake. The disciples woke Him, and He rebuked the wind and the water until there was a great calm. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Sea of Galilee People involved Jesus' disciples in a boat Textual emphasis The disciples had been afraid of the storm, but they were then confronted with a deeper question: who was this, that wind and water obeyed Him? Jesus addressed their fear and lack of faith. The event reveals His authority without promising that His followers will never face danger. Keep in mind This crossing is distinct from the later occasion when Jesus walked on the water. The Gospel accounts do not identify an exact point on the lake where the storm was stilled. Topics Authority; fear; faith Scripture references Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
The demonized man or men across the lake are delivered	Deliverance	Matthew 8:28-34	Mark 5:1-20	Luke 8:26-39	—
The demonized man or men across the lake are delivered Link to this entry What happened Across the Sea of Galilee, Jesus delivered men oppressed by demons. Matthew mentions two men, while Mark and Luke follow the account of one; the demons entered a herd of pigs that rushed into the water. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Across the Sea of Galilee; Gergesenes in Matthew and Gadarenes in Mark and Luke (NKJV) People involved Two men in Matthew; one man foregrounded in Mark and Luke Textual emphasis The man highlighted in Mark and Luke was found clothed and in his right mind. He wanted to remain with Jesus, but Jesus sent him home to tell what the Lord had done for him. His restored life became a witness among people who had known his former condition. Keep in mind In the NKJV, Matthew 8:28 names the Gergesenes, while Mark 5:1 and Luke 8:26 name the Gadarenes. Matthew reports two men; Mark and Luke do not say that only one was present. The precise shoreline location remains uncertain, and other textual place-name readings are not substituted for the NKJV wording. Topics Deliverance; restoration; witness Scripture references Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
The woman with a flow of blood is healed	Healing	Matthew 9:20-22	Mark 5:25-34	Luke 8:43-48	—
The woman with a flow of blood is healed Link to this entry What happened A woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years touched Jesus' garment while He was on the way to Jairus' house. She was healed, and Jesus spoke to her after she came forward. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting On the way to Jairus' house People involved A woman suffering for 12 years Textual emphasis Mark describes years of suffering and unsuccessful treatment before this encounter. Jesus did not let the woman remain merely an unnoticed person in the crowd; He addressed her as a daughter and acknowledged her faith. The healing came from Him, not from an independent power in clothing. Keep in mind This healing occurs during the journey to Jairus' daughter, but it is a distinct event. It should not be confused with the later summaries of many people touching Jesus' garment and being healed. Topics Faith; compassion; restoration Scripture references Matthew 9:20-22; Mark 5:25-34; Luke 8:43-48 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Jairus' daughter is raised	Raising the dead	Matthew 9:18-19,23-26	Mark 5:21-24,35-43	Luke 8:40-42,49-56	—
Jairus' daughter is raised Link to this entry What happened Jesus went to the home of a synagogue ruler whose daughter had died. He took her by the hand and raised her, and Mark and Luke record His instruction that she be given food. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Jairus' house; town not named in the event People involved A synagogue ruler's daughter, about 12 years old Textual emphasis When the report of death arrived in Mark and Luke, Jesus told the father not to be afraid but to believe. The mourners thought the situation was beyond hope, yet Jesus restored the girl to life. His concern also included her ordinary need for food after she arose. Keep in mind Mark and Luke name the father Jairus and place the report of death during the journey. Matthew presents the father's request with the statement that his daughter has just died. A compressed account is a common explanation of Matthew's presentation, not a sequence Matthew spells out. Mark gives her age as twelve, and Luke says about twelve. Topics Life; faith; compassion Scripture references Matthew 9:18-19,23-26; Mark 5:21-24,35-43; Luke 8:40-42,49-56 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Two blind men receive sight	Healing	Matthew 9:27-31	—	—	—
Two blind men receive sight Link to this entry What happened Two blind men followed Jesus and appealed to Him as the Son of David. After they affirmed that He could heal them, He touched their eyes and they received their sight. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting A house; exact town not stated People involved Two blind men Textual emphasis The title the men used connects their appeal with Jesus' identity as the promised Davidic Messiah. Jesus questioned them about their trust in His ability, and their eyes were opened. Matthew also records that they spread the news despite His instruction not to do so. Keep in mind This is not the later healing near Jericho, although Matthew records two blind men there as well. The precise town of this earlier encounter is not stated in the account. Topics Sight; faith; Son of David Scripture references Matthew 9:27-31 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
A mute demonized man speaks	Deliverance with healing	Matthew 9:32-34	—	—	—
A mute demonized man speaks Link to this entry What happened A mute man who was demon-possessed was brought to Jesus. When the demon had been cast out, the man spoke, and the crowd marveled. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Exact place not stated People involved A man unable to speak Textual emphasis The restored speech produced sharply different responses. The crowd recognized something extraordinary, while the Pharisees attributed Jesus' work to demonic power. The account prepares the reader to notice the growing opposition to His ministry. Keep in mind Matthew narrates this separately from the blind and mute man in Matthew 12. The chart therefore retains two entries rather than merging events merely because both include restored speech and an accusation from the Pharisees. Topics Deliverance; opposition Scripture references Matthew 9:32-34 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Five thousand men are fed	Provision / nature	Matthew 14:13-21	Mark 6:30-44	Luke 9:10-17	John 6:1-15
Five thousand men are fed Link to this entry What happened Jesus fed a large crowd with five loaves and two fish. About five thousand men ate, with women and children also present according to Matthew, and the disciples gathered twelve baskets of leftovers. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting A deserted place near the Sea of Galilee; Luke associates the withdrawal with Bethsaida People involved About 5,000 men, besides women and children Textual emphasis All four Gospels record this feeding. Jesus provided for a real physical need, and John then records teaching that directs the people beyond the bread to faith in Him. Receiving food from His hand was not the same as understanding who He was. Keep in mind Five thousand is the number of men, not the stated total of everyone present. This feeding is distinct from the feeding of four thousand, as Jesus Himself later makes clear. The event references and the later explanatory passages are listed together in these notes. Topics Provision; compassion Scripture references Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15; John 6:26-35; Matthew 16:9-10; Mark 8:19-20 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Jesus walks on the sea	Nature	Matthew 14:22-33	Mark 6:45-52	—	John 6:16-21
Jesus walks on the sea Link to this entry What happened Jesus came to His disciples by walking on the sea while they struggled in their boat. Matthew also records Peter walking toward Him, beginning to sink, and being rescued by Jesus. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Sea of Galilee People involved Disciples in a boat; Peter also in Matthew Textual emphasis The disciples initially mistook Jesus for a ghost, but He identified Himself and told them not to fear. Matthew ends with their worship and confession that He is the Son of God. Peter's rescue shows Jesus' care even when a disciple's confidence gives way to fear. Keep in mind Peter's walk and rescue belong within this event rather than being counted again. John says the boat was immediately at the land they were approaching, but he does not explain how that happened. Topics Authority; worship; faith Scripture references Matthew 14:22-33; Mark 6:45-52; John 6:16-21 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
The Canaanite woman's daughter is delivered	Deliverance	Matthew 15:21-28	Mark 7:24-30	—	—
The Canaanite woman's daughter is delivered Link to this entry What happened A Gentile woman begged Jesus to deliver her daughter from a demon. Jesus granted her request, and the daughter was restored although she was not brought before Him in the account. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Region of Tyre and Sidon People involved A Gentile mother and her daughter Textual emphasis Matthew records the mother's persistence and Jesus' commendation of her great faith. She did not claim a right to overturn His stated mission to Israel; she trusted that His mercy was sufficient even for her need. The daughter's deliverance demonstrates that His authority was not limited by distance. Keep in mind Matthew calls the woman Canaanite, and Mark describes her as Greek and Syrophoenician by birth. These are different descriptions of the same woman, not grounds for inventing two separate daughters or two healings.

A deaf man with a speech difficulty is healed	Healing	—	Mark 7:31-37	—	—
A deaf man with a speech difficulty is healed Link to this entry What happened In the Decapolis region, people brought Jesus a deaf man who had difficulty speaking. Jesus took him aside, touched his ears and tongue, and restored his hearing and speech. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Decapolis region near the Sea of Galilee People involved A deaf man who speaks with difficulty Textual emphasis Jesus dealt with the man personally, away from the crowd. Mark preserves the command that accompanied the healing and records the people's amazement that the man could hear and speak clearly. Their response was that Jesus had done everything well. Keep in mind Mark gives one person's story. Matthew's nearby account of many people being healed is a group report, and the text does not prove that every individual case in that crowd corresponds to a separately narrated miracle.

Four thousand men are fed	Provision / nature	Matthew 15:32-39	Mark 8:1-10	—	—
Four thousand men are fed Link to this entry What happened After a crowd had remained with Him for three days, Jesus fed them with seven loaves and a few small fish. Four thousand men ate, with women and children also present according to Matthew, and seven baskets of leftovers were collected. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting A deserted place in the region of the Sea of Galilee People involved 4,000 men, besides women and children Textual emphasis Jesus explained that He had compassion for people who might collapse on the journey home without food. The disciples again faced a need greater than their available supplies. His provision met the crowd's hunger before He sent them away. Keep in mind The numbers of people, loaves, and baskets differ from the earlier feeding. Matthew 16:9-10 and Mark 8:19-20 explicitly recall both occasions, so they should not be merged into one event.

The blind man at Bethsaida is healed in stages	Healing	—	Mark 8:22-26	—	—
The blind man at Bethsaida is healed in stages Link to this entry What happened Jesus led a blind man outside Bethsaida and began to restore his sight. After the man first reported seeing people indistinctly, Jesus laid His hands on his eyes again, and he saw clearly. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Bethsaida People involved An unnamed blind man Textual emphasis Mark records the intermediate stage rather than passing over it. Jesus stayed with the man until the restoration was complete, then sent him home. The narrative gives us the stages of this particular healing without explaining why Jesus chose to act this way. Keep in mind The account does not say that Jesus lacked power or that the man's faith caused the first result to be incomplete. Either explanation would add a cause the text does not supply.

A boy oppressed by an unclean spirit is delivered	Deliverance with healing	Matthew 17:14-21	Mark 9:14-29	Luke 9:37-43	—
A boy oppressed by an unclean spirit is delivered Link to this entry What happened A father brought his son after the disciples had failed to deliver him from an unclean spirit. Jesus commanded the spirit to leave, and the boy was restored. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting After Jesus descends from the mountain; exact place not stated People involved A boy and his father Textual emphasis Mark records the father's honest appeal for help with his unbelief. Jesus' later instruction directs the disciples toward dependence on God rather than confidence in a technique. In the NKJV, the instruction includes both prayer and fasting. Keep in mind The narrative identifies an unclean spirit; it should not be reduced to a modern medical diagnosis or used to label every seizure demonic. Matthew 17:21 and the reference to fasting in Mark 9:29 are retained in accordance with the ministry's NKJV and received-text approach. Topics Faith; prayer; deliverance Scripture references Matthew 17:14-21; Mark 9:14-29; Luke 9:37-43 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
The coin in the fish's mouth	Provision / extraordinary knowledge	Matthew 17:24-27	—	—	—
The coin in the fish's mouth Link to this entry What happened When the temple-tax question arose in Capernaum, Jesus told Peter to catch a fish and take the coin he would find in its mouth. The coin would pay the tax for both Jesus and Peter. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Capernaum; nearby lake People involved Peter and Jesus Textual emphasis Jesus first spoke about the freedom of a king's sons, then chose to avoid causing unnecessary offense. The promised provision accompanies that teaching about His sonship. Matthew records Jesus' specific instruction rather than a general promise that believers will find money in extraordinary ways. Keep in mind Matthew does not go on to narrate Peter catching the fish or paying the tax.

The man born blind receives sight	Healing	—	—	—	John 9:1-41
The man born blind receives sight Link to this entry What happened Jesus applied clay to the eyes of a man blind from birth and told him to wash in the pool of Siloam. The man returned with his sight, and his healing led to an extended dispute with the Pharisees. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Jerusalem; Pool of Siloam People involved A man blind from birth Textual emphasis The disciples assumed that a particular person's sin must explain the blindness, but Jesus rejected their proposed alternatives. As the account develops, the healed man stands by what he knows Jesus has done and eventually worships Him. The leaders' refusal to acknowledge the work exposes a different kind of blindness. Keep in mind Jesus' answer concerns this man's case; it is not a complete explanation of every instance of suffering. The chapter also records the parents' fear and the man's exclusion, so the outcome should not be reduced to physical improvement alone.

The bent-over woman is made straight	Healing / liberation	—	—	Luke 13:10-17	—
The bent-over woman is made straight Link to this entry What happened In a synagogue on the Sabbath, Jesus called forward a woman who had been bent over for eighteen years. He announced her release and laid His hands on her, and she straightened up and glorified God. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting A synagogue on the Sabbath; town not stated People involved A woman disabled for 18 years Textual emphasis Jesus called her a daughter of Abraham and described her as someone Satan had bound. He challenged the ruler's objection by comparing her need with the ordinary care given to animals on the Sabbath. Her release exposed the inconsistency of refusing mercy in the name of religious duty. Keep in mind The account connects her condition with Satan, but it does not describe a direct command to a demon as some other deliverance accounts do. Her condition and the length of her suffering are stated; its modern medical cause is not.

He questioned those watching, then healed the man and sent him away. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology.

He then compared their objection with their willingness to rescue an animal that had fallen into a pit. The account confronts the inconsistency of withholding compassion from a person in need. Keep in mind The NKJV uses the term dropsy, which describes abnormal fluid-related swelling.

Keep in mind The text does not tell us the later spiritual history of the other nine or identify their ethnic backgrounds individually.

He also wept in the presence of the mourners. The sign led many to believe, while others reported it to the Pharisees and the leaders intensified their plan against Him. Keep in mind Lazarus of Bethany is the brother of Martha and Mary. The Bible does not identify him with the Lazarus in Luke 16.

Mark records Bartimaeus following Jesus on the road, and Luke records praise to God from the healed man and the people. The accounts connect restored sight with a response to Jesus. Keep in mind Matthew and Mark place the encounter as Jesus leaves Jericho; Luke describes Him approaching it. The grouping is provisional. Explanations involving old and new Jericho are reconstructions, not statements made in these accounts. The chart preserves the differing details instead of claiming an exact resolved route.

The fig tree withers Link to this entry What happened Jesus found a fig tree with leaves but no fruit and pronounced that it would bear no fruit again. Matthew records its immediate withering, while Mark records the disciples noticing it withered from the roots the next morning. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab) Event Notes Location, people, textual observations, and counting cautions for each main entry. The order is a study arrangement, not a claimed exact chronology. Location / setting Road between Bethany and Jerusalem People involved A fig tree; disciples witness the lesson Textual emphasis Jesus used the event to teach His disciples about faith and prayer. Mark places it around the temple cleansing, a setting that also invites reflection on outward appearance without the fruit God seeks. That connection is an interpretation of the narrative arrangement, not a separate explanation Jesus gives for every detail. Keep in mind The withering tree is a real narrated event, not the parable of the barren fig tree in Luke 13. Matthew's immediate result and Mark's next-morning observation should both remain visible. Mark's placement supplies context, but it does not justify inventing symbolic identities for every feature of the tree.

The high priest's servant's ear is healed Link to this entry What happened During Jesus' arrest, a disciple cut off the right ear of the high priest's servant. Luke records Jesus touching the ear and healing him; John identifies the disciple as Peter and the servant as Malchus.

The healing belongs within His willing submission to the suffering ahead. It does not suggest that His arrest resulted from an inability to defend Himself. Keep in mind All four Gospels describe the injury, but only Luke explicitly narrates the healing. John supplies the names.

John presents the meal as an encounter with the risen Lord, who continued to care for His disciples. The fish count is part of the reported event, not an invitation to speculative number codes. Keep in mind This catch is distinct from Luke 5, where the nets were breaking and the boats began to sink.

Group Healings and Summary Reports

Nineteen grouped reports and scope statements. These are not nineteen individual miracles, and their row total must not be added to the main catalogue.

Group Healings and Summary Reports
Report	Record type	Scripture references
Galilean teaching and healing ministry	Broad ministry summary	Matthew 4:23-25; Mark 1:39; Luke 4:40-44
Galilean teaching and healing ministry Link to this entry What the text reports Matthew describes a broad ministry of teaching, preaching, and healing throughout Galilee. Mark mentions preaching and casting out demons, while the wider passage in Luke includes healings before Jesus continued preaching in the synagogues. Counting / context note These passages summarize a period of ministry rather than identify one gathering. Luke 4:44 by itself reports preaching, so the reference includes verses 40-43 to support the healing description. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Healings and deliverances at sunset	Specific group-healing occasion	Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 1:32-34; Luke 4:40-41
Healings and deliverances at sunset Link to this entry What the text reports After sunset, people brought the sick and those oppressed by demons to Jesus. He healed and delivered them, and Luke describes Him laying His hands on each sick person. Counting / context note Mark and Luke place this gathering after the healing of Peter's mother-in-law. The report concerns many people, not one additional patient whose name or condition can be supplied. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Crowds seek healing after the leper's cleansing	Broad ministry summary	Luke 5:15-16
Crowds seek healing after the leper's cleansing Link to this entry What the text reports As news about Jesus spread, large crowds gathered to hear Him and seek healing.

The report should not be converted into an invented headcount. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Healing multitudes beside the sea / on a level place	Group summaries; possible overlap	Mark 3:7-12; Luke 6:17-19
Healing multitudes beside the sea / on a level place Link to this entry What the text reports People came from a wide area to hear Jesus and receive help. Both accounts describe healing and deliverance, and Luke emphasizes that the whole crowd sought to touch Him. Counting / context note The accounts share several details but describe their settings differently. They are grouped as related reports without claiming that the text expressly identifies one occasion. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Jesus continues through cities and villages	Broad ministry summary	Matthew 9:35
Jesus continues through cities and villages Link to this entry What the text reports Jesus went through cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom. Matthew includes His healing ministry in this description. Counting / context note This is a summary of repeated ministry, not a count of new patients. It should be read alongside the particular healings Matthew records rather than added to them as one more individual miracle. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Healings after withdrawal from opponents	Group-healing occasion	Matthew 12:15-21
Healings after withdrawal from opponents Link to this entry What the text reports Jesus withdrew when His opponents plotted against Him, and many people followed Him. He healed them and instructed them not to make Him known. Counting / context note Matthew explains this ministry through Isaiah's description of the Lord's Servant. Jesus' withdrawal was not a failure of compassion or an inability to heal. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Signs during the Jerusalem Passover	Retrospective sign summary	John 2:23-25; John 3:2; John 4:45
Signs during the Jerusalem Passover Link to this entry What the text reports John reports signs Jesus performed during the Passover in Jerusalem. Nicodemus refers to those signs, and the Galileans later remember what they had seen Him do at the feast. Counting / context note These references do not describe the signs individually. Their presence also shows why the healing in John 4 should not be called only the second miracle Jesus had ever performed. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Healings in the feeding-of-the-5,000 setting	Group-healing occasion	Matthew 14:14; Luke 9:11; John 6:2
Healings in the feeding-of-the-5,000 setting Link to this entry What the text reports Before feeding the crowd, Jesus also cared for those who needed healing. John explains that signs performed on the sick were one reason people followed Him. Counting / context note The healings and the feeding are different works within the surrounding ministry. The passages do not give enough information to list each healed person separately. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Few healings in Nazareth	Specific group-healing occasion	Mark 6:1-6; Matthew 13:53-58
Few healings in Nazareth Link to this entry What the text reports Many people in Jesus' hometown took offense at Him. Even there, Mark records that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. Counting / context note Matthew says Jesus did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief; Mark describes the same setting more strongly and also records the few healings. Neither account says that no one was healed, and neither makes human belief a power greater than His. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)

Blind and lame people healed in the temple	Group-healing occasion	Matthew 21:14-16
Blind and lame people healed in the temple Link to this entry What the text reports Blind and lame people came to Jesus in the temple, and He healed them.

Women healed of evil spirits and infirmities Link to this entry What the text reports Luke identifies women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities and who helped support Jesus' ministry.

Jesus' statement about current deliverances and cures	Ministry self-summary	Luke 13:31-33
Jesus' statement about current deliverances and cures Link to this entry What the text reports Jesus answered a warning about Herod by speaking of His continuing work of casting out demons and performing cures.

Public and leadership responses to many signs	Retrospective sign summary	John 7:31; John 11:47-48; John 12:37
Public and leadership responses to many signs Link to this entry What the text reports Some people considered Jesus' signs as evidence concerning His identity, while the religious leaders feared the effect of His ministry.

The Gospels do not narrate every work of Jesus Link to this entry What the text reports John explains that Jesus did more than his Gospel records. He states his purpose in selecting the signs he includes: that readers might believe in Jesus and have life in His name.

Jesus' resurrection Link to this entry What is recorded Jesus rose bodily from the dead, and the resurrection accounts describe the empty tomb and encounters with Him afterward. Acts speaks of God raising Him, while Jesus had already spoken of His authority to lay down His life and take it again.

The arresting party draws back and falls Link to this entry What is recorded When Jesus identified Himself to those who had come to arrest Him, they drew back and fell to the ground. He then spoke to them again and asked that His disciples be allowed to leave. Why it is separate The falling is explicitly recorded.

Editorial method	Prediction / instruction rather than completed-action narration	M26 includes the tax-coin instruction because it is conventionally catalogued with the miracles.
Editorial method Link to this entry Qualification / limitation Matthew 17:24-27 does not narrate Peter catching the fish; the entry explicitly preserves that distinction. Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Editorial method	Group reports and related events	Group summaries, resurrection, transfiguration, and other related supernatural material are on separate sheets.
Editorial method Link to this entry Qualification / limitation These are not to be added to the main count as if every row were one additional independent miracle.
Editorial method	Order and labels	IDs are stable editorial keys for importing the material into a website; the sequence is a study arrangement.

Reading Notes: Text, Interpretation, and Context

Passage-specific explanations of the main distinctions used in this reviewed edition.

Reading Notes: Text, Interpretation, and Context
Topic	Related entries	Explanation
What the miracle count means	M01-M35; G01-G19; R01-R14	The main catalogue groups corresponding Gospel accounts where the evidence supports that arrangement. It does not claim that Jesus performed only thirty-five miracles, and the group reports cannot be converted into a known number of individual healings. John expressly says that the written record is selective. The resurrection is given separate treatment because of the way the collection is organized, not because it is less central.

Faith and healing	M08; M11; M15; M25	Jesus responds to people in differing circumstances, and several accounts do not record a request from the person He heals or raises. These events reveal His authority and compassion; they should not be turned into a formula that guarantees healing whenever a sufferer has enough faith. A reader should not be blamed for continuing illness on the basis of a claim the account never makes.
Faith and healing Link to this entry Scripture references John 5:1-15; Luke 7:11-17; Mark 5:25-34; Mark 9:14-29 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Comparing the Gospel accounts	M12; M14; M16; M32	Some accounts include different numbers of people, different details in a request, or different geographical and chronological descriptions. Those details remain visible in the notes. A proposed reconciliation can be reasonable without becoming an event explicitly narrated by a Gospel writer; unresolved details should not be filled in merely to make the table look certain.
Comparing the Gospel accounts Link to this entry Scripture references Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Matthew 20:29-34; Luke 18:35-43 Source biblegateway.com (opens in a new tab)
Received text and exact wording	M08; M14; M25; Related Events	The English references follow the NKJV and the ministry's received-text position. Matthew's Gergesenes and Mark and Luke's Gadarenes are therefore distinguished as they appear in that translation. John 5:3-4, the prayer-and-fasting wording, and Mark 16:9-20 are not silently removed because a different textual edition treats them differently.
