Jesus's Miracles Jesus, throughout the course of his life, performed many miracles. His miracles included raising the dead, changing water to wine, feeding thousands of people with very little food, demon exorcisms, and healing the sick and deformed. The most important miracle, by far, was his own resurrection (Saliba). Jesus's miracles were not for entertainment or self gain. They served the purpose of backing up his claim as the Son of God. They were also used to respond to real need (Jesus'). In Luke 23:8, 9 , during Jesus's trials, Herod was glad to see Jesus. "When Herod saw Jesus he was greatly pleased...he hoped to see him perform some miracle. He plied him with many questions but Jesus gave him now answer."ÃÂ (Holy Bible). Herod does not need anything, being that he is the King. Jesus's miracles were to back his claim as Son of God. A good place to start would be to define what a miracle is.
