Bible Passage: Gospels
Matthew 8:5-13 - In this story, a Roman commander came to Jesus, asking him to heal his paralyzed servant. Jesus offered to go to the commander’s home, but the man explained that he trusted Jesus’ word alone would heal his servant. Jesus was amazed by his faith, saying he hadn’t seen such faith in all Israel. He then told the commander to go home, and his servant was healed immediately.
Mark 6:45-52 - After miraculously feeding a crowd of 5000, Jesus told his disciples to get on the boat and go ahead of him to another town. After they left, he dismissed the crowd and went up to a mountainside to pray, before walking on the water to catch up to his disciples. When they saw Jesus, they thought he was a ghost and were terrified. Jesus announced that it was him, and the disciples were amazed, but they still didn’t understand who Jesus was.
Luke 9:10-17 - In this story, Jesus was teaching a large crowd of about 5,000 men, plus women and children. After a long day, his disciples suggested sending everyone away to get food. But Jesus said they should feed the people themselves. They only had five loaves of bread and two fish, yet when they shared them, there was more than enough to satisfy everyone.
Matthew 8:23-27 - In the passage, Jesus and his disciples are in a boat when a sudden, violent storm hits. The disciples are scared, but Jesus is asleep. They wake him, asking for help, and Jesus commands the storm to stop. Immediately, the wind and waves calm down. The disciples are amazed and ask, “Who is this man? Even the wind and waves obey him!”
John 2:1-11 - At a wedding in Cana, Jesus performed his first recorded miracle by turning water into wine. Though initially hesitant to reveal his power, he responded to his mother’s request and quietly carried out the miracle so that only a few were aware of it. This sign revealed Jesus’ authority over creation and gave his disciples a reason to believe in him. It points to his divine identity and the abundant life he brings.
