The miracles of Jesus are miraculous deeds attributed to Jesus in Christian and Islamic texts. The majority are faith healings, exorcisms, resurrections, and control over nature.[1][2]
In the Gospel of John, Jesus is said to have performed seven miraculous signs that characterize his ministry, from changing water into wine at the start of his ministry to raising Lazarus from the dead at the end.[3]
For many Christians and Muslims, the miracles are believed to be actual historical events.[4][5][6] Others, including many liberal Christians, consider these stories to be figurative.[a]
Since the Age of Enlightenment, many scholars have taken a highly skeptical approach to claims about miracles,[7] with less consensus than in former times.[8] Non-religious historians commonly avoid commenting on the veracity of miracles as the sources are limited and considered problematic.[9] Some scholars rule out miracles altogether while others defend the possibility, either with reservations or more strongly[8] (in the latter case commonly reflecting religious views).[9]
