Miracles are one of the many proofs that Jesus was (and is) the Son of God and Savior of the world. They were such a critical part of his ministry that he declared the following.
If I do not do the works (miracles) of My Father, do not believe Me. But if I do, even if you do not believe Me, believe the works; so that you may perceive and may believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him (John 10:37 - 38, HBFV).
This article is a timeline of Jesus' thirty-nine miracles manifested before his crucifixion. Please see our links at the bottom of the page for further study materials on the signs and wonders carried out by the early New Testament church, the Apostle Paul, the Old Testament prophets and more!
26 A.D.
Jesus' ministry began on September 11, the Biblical High Holy Day known as the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). It was also the start of the devil's forty days of temptation (Matthew 4:1 - 11, Mark 1:12 - 13, Luke 4:1 - 13).

1. Jesus, at a wedding in Cana, turns water into wine (John 2:1 - 11).
27 A.D.
May
2. Jesus, just before Pentecost on June 1, heals a royal official's son. The son, who is near death, is made well simply by the Lord declaring that he lives (John 4:46 - 54)! This is Christ's first healing miracle.
After June 1
3. The Lord causes Peter, after Pentecost, to miraculously catch so many fish that it begins to break his net and almost sinks the two boats needed to store them (Luke 4:16, 5:4 - 11).

April 5
39. Jesus is arrested shortly after midnight on April 5 (Wednesday). Peter, while the arrest is taking place, cuts off the right ear of a servant named Malchus. The Lord quickly heals the ear and chastises Peter (Luke 22:49 - 51). The other three gospels mention this incident (Matthew 26, Mark 14 and John 18) but do not record the miracle occurring.
Many Miracles Unknown
Several times the Bible mentions groups of people, of an unknown size, being healed of diseases that are not revealed (Mark 3:7 - 12, Matthew 14:34 - 36. etc.). For example, in the evening after Jesus made Peter's mother-in-law well, many sick individuals were brought to him (Mark 1:32 - 34). John, near the end of his gospel, makes an interesting comment regarding the Lord's miracles.
Now then, Jesus did many other miracles in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book. But these have been written, so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God . . . (John 20:30 - 31, HBFV).
