Signs that Jesus performed Flashcards
Turning water into wine.
Jesus turned 6 stone jars of water into wine at a wedding. Jesus did not want to publicly declare he was the Son of God, even though his mother suggested it.
Healing at the pool.
Jesus healed a man who had been paralysed by telling him to ‘pick up [his] mat and walk’. Jesus did this on a Sabbath which angered some people but showed his words could replace the idea that the pool could heal people.
Healing of the official’s son.
Jesus heals the official’s son from a distance using words. This showed his power and the whole household now believed in him.
Healing of the blind man.
Jesus puts paste on the man’s eyes to make him see. Again this angered the Jewish people because he did it on a Sabbath. This showed that Jesus can bring light to all if they have faith in him.
Feeding the 5000.
Jesus feeds the crowd from just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes. This shows he has the bread of life and you will never go spiritually hungry if you believe in him.
Walking on water.
Jesus walks towards the disciples on water saying ‘It is I; do not be afraid’.
The raising of Lazarus.
Jesus says ‘I am the resurrection and the life’ to teach people that he is the path to eternal life. Jesus brought Lazurus back to life using words that showed Jesus’ divine power and that they could have life through believing in him.
