Jesus healed the servant of a Roman centurion without even being physically present.

This healing, recorded in Matthew 8:5-13, was granted after the centurion expressed remarkable faith, stating Jesus need only 'speak the word only' for healing to occur. Jesus specifically commended this centurion's faith as greater than any he had found in Israel.

Jesus cured ten men afflicted with leprosy, though only one returned to thank him.

This account, recorded in Luke 17:11-19, notably highlights that the one who returned was a Samaritan, an outsider to the Jewish community. Jesus specifically notes the absence of the other nine in returning to give thanks.

Jesus restored the sight of a blind beggar named Bartimaeus near Jericho.

This healing, recorded in Mark 10:46-52, occurred after Bartimaeus persistently called out to Jesus despite attempts by the crowd to silence him. Jesus commended his faith, saying, 'thy faith hath made thee whole.'

Jesus healed a woman who had suffered continuous bleeding for twelve years simply by her touching his garment.

This healing, recorded in Mark 5:25-34, occurred amid a large crowd, with Jesus perceiving that healing power had gone out from him. He affirmed the woman's faith as the source of her healing.

Jesus raised a young girl, the daughter of a synagogue leader named Jairus, back to life.

This miracle, recorded in Mark 5:35-43, occurred shortly after Jesus healed the woman with continuous bleeding, occurring on the way to Jairus's house. Jesus instructed those present to give the girl something to eat, emphasizing the reality of her restored life.

Jesus restored the ear of a servant that had been cut off during his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane.

This healing, recorded specifically in Luke 22:50-51, occurred after one of Jesus' disciples, identified elsewhere as Peter (John 18:10), struck the servant with a sword. This miracle is notable as occurring during the very moment of Jesus' arrest and impending suffering.

Jesus healed a man who had been unable to walk for 38 years at the Pool of Bethesda.

This healing is recorded in John 5:1-9, occurring on the Sabbath and subsequently leading to significant conflict with Jewish authorities regarding Sabbath observance (John 5:16-18). This account highlights recurring tension throughout Jesus' ministry regarding interpretations of Sabbath law.

Jesus cursed a fig tree that failed to produce fruit, causing it to wither.

This event, recorded in Mark 11:12-14, 20-21, is often interpreted symbolically as a warning regarding spiritual fruitlessness and hypocrisy. This is notably one of the few miracles of Jesus that involves destructive rather than restorative power.

After his resurrection, Jesus miraculously provided a large catch of fish for his disciples after a night of unsuccessful fishing.

This event, recorded in John 21:4-11, resulted in a net containing exactly 153 large fish without the net breaking. This miracle led to Peter's recognition of the risen Jesus and a subsequent significant conversation between them (John 21:15-19).

Jesus healed a boy suffering from severe seizures after his disciples were unable to help him.

This healing, recorded in Mark 9:17-27, involved Jesus rebuking an unclean spirit causing the affliction. Jesus subsequently taught his disciples about the necessity of prayer regarding certain difficult spiritual challenges (Mark 9:28-29).
