The Miracles of Jesus

Thirty-seven miracles, from Cana to the Sea of Tiberias — which Gospels record each one, and where the accounts differ from each other.

The 37 miracles

The traditional 37-count covers the ministry miracles only. The resurrection, the resurrection appearances, and the ascension are recorded separately below — they are not numbered among the 37.

Attestation across the Gospels: 17 miracles are recorded in a single Gospel, 7 in two Gospels, 12 in three Gospels, and 1 — the Feeding of the 5,000 — in all four (the only pre-resurrection miracle so attested). Lists vary between 35 and 37; the 37-count is the most widely published traditional figure.

2. Heals an official’s son

James Tissot's watercolor of friends lowering the palsied man through a roof into the room where Jesus waits — James Tissot's *The Palsied Man Let Down through the Roof* (*Le paralytique descendu du toit*), from his *Life of Christ* watercolor series (Brooklyn Museum, New York) — friends lower the paralyzed man through the roof to Jesus (Mark 2:1–12).

References: Matthew 8:28–34; Mark 5:1–20; Luke 8:26–39 Attestation: In all three Synoptic Gospels. Narrative difference: one vs. two demoniacs.

14. Heals a woman with a hemorrhage

What happened: Twelve years of bleeding; healed by touching his garment — “thy faith hath made thee whole” (Luke 8:48, KJV). References: Matthew 9:20–22; Mark 5:25–34; Luke 8:42–48 Attestation: In all three Synoptic Gospels.

What happened: A gradual healing in two stages — “I see men as trees, walking” (Mark 8:24, KJV). References: Mark 8:22–26 Attestation: In Mark only.

What happened: Mud on the eyes, washing in Siloam; an extended Sabbath controversy. References: John 9:1–41 (the healing, 9:1–12) Attestation: In John only.

27. Heals a boy with an unclean spirit

What happened: After the Transfiguration; the disciples could not cast it out — “this kind” requires prayer (Mark 9:29, KJV; some manuscripts add “and fasting”). References: Matthew 17:14–20; Mark 9:14–29; Luke 9:37–43 Attestation: In all three Synoptic Gospels.

28. Temple tax from a fish’s mouth

What happened: A stater found in the first fish caught pays the tax for Jesus and Peter. References: Matthew 17:24–27 Attestation: In Matthew only.

What happened: Matthew’s account is fuller; Luke’s briefer exorcism account (11:14) is generally harmonized with this event, though some commentators treat them as separate — flagged as uncertain. References: Matthew 12:22–23; Luke 11:14 Attestation: In Matthew and Luke. Uncertainty flagged: the harmonization is not certain.

30. Heals a crippled woman (18 years bent)

What happened: A Sabbath controversy in the synagogue — “woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity” (Luke 13:12, KJV). References: Luke 13:10–17 Attestation: In Luke only.

31. Heals a man with dropsy

What happened: At a chief Pharisee’s house on the Sabbath. References: Luke 14:1–6 Attestation: In Luke only.

What happened: Only one — a Samaritan — returns to give thanks. References: Luke 17:11–19 Attestation: In Luke only.

33. Raises Lazarus from the dead

What happened: Four days in the tomb at Bethany — “Lazarus, come forth” (John 11:43, KJV). References: John 11:1–44 (result, 11:45) Attestation: In John only.

What happened: Note: Matthew reports two blind men; Mark names Bartimaeus; Luke places the healing as Jesus approaches Jericho, while Matthew and Mark place it as he leaves it — a well-known narrative difference. References: Matthew 20:29–34; Mark 10:46–52; Luke 18:35–43 Attestation: In all three Synoptic Gospels. Narrative difference: two men vs. one; approaching vs. leaving Jericho.

35. Withers the fig tree

What happened: Cursed Monday morning, found withered Tuesday — an acted parable of fruitless Israel and a lesson on faith. References: Matthew 21:18–22; Mark 11:12–14, 20–25 Attestation: In Matthew and Mark.

36. Heals a servant’s severed ear

What happened: At the arrest in Gethsemane — Jesus’ final pre-crucifixion miracle. The healing itself is in Luke only; Matthew 26:51, Mark 14:47, and John 18:10 record the cutting, and John names the servant Malchus. References: Luke 22:50–51 Attestation: In Luke only (for the healing).

37. Second miraculous catch of fish

What happened: After the resurrection, at the Sea of Tiberias — 153 fish, the net unbroken; breakfast with the risen Christ. References: John 21:4–11 (setting, 21:1–14) Attestation: In John only.

The resurrection, appearances, and ascension

These are timeline events — deliberately not numbered among the 37:

The resurrection itself — the empty tomb: Matthew 28:1–10; Mark 16:1–8; Luke 24:1–12; John 20:1–10.
Appearances of the risen Jesus: to Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9; John 20:11–18); to the other women (Matthew 28:9–10); to Peter (Luke 24:34; 1 Corinthians 15:5); to two disciples on the Emmaus road (Mark 16:12–13; Luke 24:13–35); to the ten disciples, Thomas absent (Luke 24:36–49; John 20:19–23); to the eleven, Thomas included (John 20:24–29); to seven disciples at the Sea of Tiberias (John 21:1–23); to the eleven on a mountain in Galilee, with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16–20); to more than 500 brethren at once (1 Corinthians 15:6); to James (1 Corinthians 15:7); to Paul (1 Corinthians 15:8; Acts 9:3–6).
The ascension — Mark 16:19; Luke 24:50–53; Acts 1:6–11.

Textual caveat: Mark 16:9–20 (the longer ending of Mark, which contains resurrection appearances and the ascension) is absent from the earliest manuscripts — a genuine, widely acknowledged textual-critical issue.

Limitations

No single canonical list exists: 35-, 36-, and 37-count compilations differ on summary healings, the temple-tax coin, and the second catch of fish. The 37-count is used here as the most widely published figure, with the differences noted.
Item 29: whether Luke’s brief account (Luke 11:14) is the same event as Matthew’s (Matthew 12:22–23) is not certain across commentators — flagged above.
Jesus passing through the Nazareth crowd (Luke 4:28–30) is counted as a miracle on a few older lists but not in the standard 37; excluded here.
Broad summary healings (e.g., Matthew 4:23–24; 9:35; 12:15; 14:14; 15:30–31; Mark 3:10–11; Luke 6:17–19) are not counted separately here.
Individual verse text was not re-verified against a Bible text for all 37 items; references follow the two 37-count lists.
Attestation claims (e.g., “Matthew, Mark, and Luke”) were not independently re-checked verse-by-verse against a Gospel text.
