The miracles depicted 

     in the Gospels were

    also meant for signs, 

     as the Greek word 

     for 'miracle' and the 

        word 'sign' both  

     alternatively mean.

 

         

 

 

 

 

 

The Gospel of the Four

   attests that there are

   50 miracles recorded 

   in the Gospels, which

   were "...written, that

       you might believe 

  that Jesus is the Christ 

   (Messiah), the Son of

    God; that believing

     you might have life 

     through His Name

         (John 20:31).

 

      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The Gospel of the Four

   attests that there are

   42 miracles up to the 

     Resurrection, this

      number not only  

    typified the months 

   in Jesus' 3½ ministry,

      but also creation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    "And many other   

    signs truly did Jesus

   in the presence of his  

    disciples, which are 

     not written in this    

               book"    

         (John 20:30).

 

 

 

 

   "And there are also 

    many other things

 that Jesus did, which, 

    if they should  be    

  written every one, I 

 suppose that even the 

 world itself could not

   contain the books    

     that should be 

         written"

     (John 21:25).
