Miracles Jesus Performs in Mark 1-16

1. Jesus heals the possessed man in Capernaum “Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out ‘What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.’ But Jesus rebuked him saying ‘Be silent and come out of him!’ And the unclean spirit,convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him” (Mark 1:23-26).
2. Jesus heals the mother-in-law- “As soon as they left the synagogue, thy entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began toserve them” (Mark 1:29-31).
3. Jesus heals many sick people- “that evening at sunset they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons. And the whole city was gathered around the door. And he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak because they knew him. (Mark 1:32-34)
4. Jesus drives the evil spiritout of the Leper- “A leper came to him begging him, and kneeling he said to him, ‘if you choose, you can make me clean.’ Moved with pity Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, ‘I do choose. Be made clean!’ immediately the leprosy left him and he was made clean” (Mark 1:40-42).
5.  Jesus heals the paralytic- A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, thepeople heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them.  Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lyingon. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,  “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinkingthese things?  Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”  He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praisedGod, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” (Mark 2:1-12)
6. Jesus cures the man’s withered hand- “He looked around and with at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, ‘stretch out your hand’. He stretched it out, and his hand was restored” (Mark 3:5).
7. Jesus calms the storm at sea- “a great wind-storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, sothat the boat was already being swamped. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, ‘Teacher do you not care that we are perishing?’ He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the seam ‘Peace! Be still!’ then the wind ceased and there was a dead calm” (Mark 4:37-39).
8. Jesus cures the Gerasene Demoniac - “and he shouted at the top of his voice,‘What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you my god, do not torment me’. For he had said to him, ‘Come out of the man you unclean spirit!’ then Jesus asked him ‘ What is your name?’ He replied ‘My name is Legion; for we are many.’ He begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. Now there on the hillside a great herd of swine was feeding, and the unclean...
