Luke 5:1-11His Glorious Power!

In all four gospel accounts combined (89 Chapters) we find roughly “35 separate miracles Jesus performed.”

John 20:30 Therefore [many other signs] Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

John 21:25 And there are also [many other things which Jesus did], which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.

31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

Luke 1:1-4 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, 3 it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; 4 so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.Ch.2 Virgin BirthCh.4 Demons are cast outCh.4 Peter’s Mother-in-Law healedCh.4 Jesus heals various diseasesCh.5 Jesus fills the empty nets
