The miracles of Jesus are the supernatural deeds attributed to Jesus in Christian and Islamic texts. The majority are faith healings, exorcisms, resurrection, control over nature and forgiveness of sins.
In the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus refuses to give a miraculous sign to prove his authority. In the Gospel of John, Jesus is said to have performed seven miraculous signs that characterize his ministry, from changing water into wine at the start of his ministry to raising Lazarus from the dead at the end.
For many Christians and Muslims, the miracles are actual historical events. Others, including many liberal Christians, consider these stories to be metaphorical. Since the Enlightenment, scholars have taken a highly skeptical approach to claims about miracles.
