Ayzan: Good Morning Everyone, before we start with the actual presentation I would Kindly ask
everyone to stand up and to make the sign of the cross so we could properly start with the presentation
Now, would anyone care to tell me what the miracles actually mean?
A supernatural or inexplicable event.
Kindly if anyone could read the first slide?
Now I’m sure you all know Jesus did not perform 1 miracle or 1 type of miracle, did he? Yes, or no?
NO, he actually performed 4 types of miracles which we are going to look through briefly today.
The first type of miracles are nature miracles and as you all can see some examples up on the display such
as stilling the storm, feeding the five thousand and walking on water
If we dive into some detail, we see that the miracle of stilling the storm is in the synoptic gospels with
exact references being Mathew 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, and Luke 8:22-25, where Jesus and his disciples
are on a boat crossing the Sea of Galilee. A sudden, violent storm arises, threatening to capsize the boat.
While the disciples panic in fear, Jesus remains asleep. They wake him, pleading for help. Jesus stands
up, rebukes the wind and waves, and immediately the storm calms. The disciples, amazed, ask, "Who is
this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" This miracle demonstrates Jesus' divine authority over
nature.

The next miraculous miracle of feeding the five thousand is recorded in Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:30-
44, Luke 9:10-17, John 6:1-14. Here Jesus was teaching a large crowd of about five thousand men, plus
women and children, in a remote area. As the day grew late, the disciples suggested sending the people
away to find food. However, Jesus instructed them to feed the crowd. With only five loaves of bread and
two fish, Jesus blessed the food, broke it, and distributed it through the disciples. Miraculously, the food
multiplied, and everyone ate until they were full, with twelve baskets of leftovers collected afterward.
This miracle highlights Jesus' compassion and divine power to provide abundantly.
The miracle of Jesus walking on water is recorded in the Gospels of Matthew 14:22-33, Mark 6:45-52,
and John 6:16-21. AS you may all not know these miracles are set right after one another so after feeding
the five thousand, Jesus sent his disciples ahead in a boat while he went to a mountain to pray alone.
During the night, the disciples encountered a strong wind and rough seas on the Sea of Galilee. Suddenly,
they saw Jesus walking toward them on the water. At first, they were terrified, thinking he was a ghost,
but Jesus reassured them, saying, "Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid."
In Matthew's account, Peter asked to come to Jesus on the water. Jesus invited him, and Peter began
walking on the water but started to sink when he became afraid of the wind. Jesus caught him, saying,
"You of little faith, why did you doubt?" Once Jesus entered the boat, the wind calmed. This miracle
demonstrates Jesus' authority over nature and calls for faith in him.
Next up we have the second type of miracles healing miracles Jesus performed these healing
miracles in a number of places First up we have the event where Jesus healed a paralytic. The
healing of the paraly�c is recounted in Mathew 9:1-8, Mark 2:1-12, and Luke 5:17-26. In this miracle,
Jesus was teaching in a crowded house in Capernaum when four men arrived, carrying a paralyzed
friend on a mat. Unable to get through the crowd, they made an opening in the roof and lowered the
paraly�c down in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

Some of the religious leaders present silently questioned Jesus' authority to forgive sins, thinking it
blasphemous. Knowing their thoughts, Jesus asked, "Which is easier: to say 'Your sins are
forgiven,' or to say 'Get up and walk'?" To prove his authority to forgive sins, Jesus commanded
the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat, and go home." The man immediately stood up, took his mat,
and walked out, astonishing the crowd. This miracle highlights Jesus' power to heal physically and
spiritually, and his authority to forgive sins.
A rather astonishing miracle was The healing of the centurion's servant is found in Mathew 8:5-13
and Luke 7:1-10. A Roman centurion in Capernaum had a highly valued servant who was gravely ill.
The centurion, though a Gen�le, had heard about Jesus and sent Jewish elders to ask him to heal his
servant. The elders spoke highly of the centurion, no�ng his kindness and support for their
community.

As Jesus approached the centurion's house, the centurion sent friends with a message, saying he
was not worthy for Jesus to enter his home. He expressed faith that Jesus could heal the servant
from a distance, saying, "Just say the word, and my servant will be healed." The centurion
compared Jesus' authority to his own, as someone who commands others and is obeyed.
Jesus was amazed by the centurion's faith, remarking that he had not found such faith even in
Israel. He then told the centurion's friends that the servant would be healed. When they returned to
the house, they found the servant healed. This miracle highlights the power of faith and Jesus'
ability to heal from afar.
The healing of a sick woman is recorded in Matthew 9:20-22, Mark 5:25-34, and Luke 8:43-48. The
woman had been suffering from a bleeding condition for twelve years and had spent all her money
on doctors without finding a cure. When Jesus was passing through a crowd, on his way to heal
Jairus' daughter, the woman believed that if she could just touch the edge of his cloak, she would be
healed.
Despite the crowd pressing around Jesus, she reached out and touched his garment. Immediately,
her bleeding stopped, and she was healed. Jesus, sensing that power had gone out from him, asked,
"Who touched me?" Though his disciples pointed out the crowd around him, Jesus continued to
search for who had touched him. The woman, trembling, came forward and confessed what she had
done.
Jesus reassured her, saying, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from
your suffering." This miracle emphasizes the woman's deep faith and how Jesus' power responds to
that faith, offering both physical healing and spiritual peace.
Ibraham: Now we have the exorcism miracles of Jesus, the healing of the Gerasene demoniac is
described in Mathew 8:28-34, Mark 5:1-20, and Luke 8:26-39. A�er crossing the Sea of Galilee, Jesus
and his disciples arrived in the region of the Gerasenes. There, Jesus was met by a man possessed by
many demons, who lived among the tombs. The man was uncontrollable, o�en breaking chains that
had been used to restrain him, and he would cry out and harm himself.
When the man saw Jesus, he ran to him and fell at his feet. The demons inside the man, recognizing
Jesus' divine authority, cried out, "What do you want with us, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?
Do not torment us!" The demons revealed that they were many and called themselves "Legion."
The demons begged Jesus not to send them out of the area but instead into a herd of pigs nearby.
Jesus permitted this, and when the demons entered the pigs, the entire herd—about two thousand
pigs—rushed down a steep bank into the sea and drowned.
The people of the region, terrified by what had happened, came to see the man who had been
healed. They found him clothed, in his right mind, and sitting at Jesus’ feet. Despite the miracle, the
people begged Jesus to leave their region, overwhelmed by fear. The healed man asked to go with
Jesus, but Jesus told him to stay and share with his people what God had done for him. This
miracle illustrates Jesus’ authority over evil spirits and his power to restore a person’s mind and
life.
The healing of a boy with a demon is recounted in Matthew 17:14-20, Mark 9:14-29, and Luke
9:37-43. After Jesus, Peter, James, and John descended from the Mount of Transfiguration, they
encountered a large crowd. A man approached Jesus, pleading for help for his son, who was
possessed by a demon. The boy suffered severe seizures, often being thrown into fire or water by the
demon. The father explained that he had brought the boy to Jesus’ disciples, but they were unable
to cast out the demon.
Jesus expressed frustration at the lack of faith in the people and asked for the boy to be brought to
him. As the boy approached, the demon caused him to convulse violently. Jesus rebuked the demon,
commanding it to leave the boy, and the demon left him immediately. The boy was healed, and the
crowd was amazed.
Later, the disciples asked Jesus privately why they couldn’t drive out the demon. Jesus told them it
was because of their lack of faith, adding that this kind of demon could only come out by prayer
(and fasting, according to some texts). This miracle emphasizes the importance of faith and the
power of prayer in overcoming spiritual challenges.
The raising of the widow's son is found in Luke 7:11-17. Jesus was traveling to a town called Nain
with his disciples and a large crowd following him. As he approached the town gate, a funeral
procession was coming out. The deceased was a young man, the only son of a widow, and a large
crowd from the town was with her. Seeing the woman’s deep sorrow, Jesus was moved with
compassion.
He said to her, "Don’t cry," and then approached the bier (the platform carrying the body). Jesus
touched it, and the bearers stopped. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" Immediately, the
young man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
The crowd was filled with awe and praised God, saying, "A great prophet has appeared among us"
and "God has come to help his people." This miracle demonstrates Jesus' compassion and his
authority over death, highlighting his power to bring life where there was none.
The miracle of restoring a girl to life is recounted in Matthew 9:18-26, Mark 5:21-43, and Luke
8:40-56. A synagogue leader named Jairus begged Jesus to heal his dying daughter. On the way to
Jairus' house, news came that the girl had already died. Jesus told Jairus, "Don’t be afraid; just
believe."
When they arrived, Jesus entered the house, took the girl by the hand, and said, "Little girl, I say to
you, get up!" The girl immediately rose and began walking. The astonished witnesses were
instructed by Jesus to keep the miracle quiet. This story shows Jesus' power over death and the
importance of faith.
