Miracles of Jesus
Returning to the miracles of Jesus, we think of the city of Capernaum, a little east of the
Mount of Beatitudes on the edge of the Sea of Galilee. Some of these stones that are still
standing once echoed the voice of Jesus and witnessed his miracles. Jesus often taught in
the synagogue of Capernaum, and in this city were more of Christ’s miracles performed
than in any other.
Capernaum was also the home of Peter. Excavations have found an ancient inscription
noting this as Peter’s house.
Peter’s mother- in-law was healed in Capernaum, as well as the Centurion’s servant, the
boy with unclean spirits, and the nobleman’s son. Jairus’ daughter was raised from the
dead, two blind men were made to see, and great multitudes were brought to be healed of
their diseases.
And so Jesus used his miraculous power to picture the work he and his Church – the
Heavenly seed – would do in his kingdom.
