3 unusual facts about Miracles of Jesus


Miracles of Jesus

These two Gospels narrate how Jesus healed the servant of a Roman Centurion in Capernaum.

Exorcism at the Synagogue in Capernaum, where Jesus exorcised an evil spirit who cried out, "What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!".

Gods and demigods such as Heracles (better known by his Roman name, Hercules), Asclepius (a Greek physician who became a god) and Isis of Egypt all were thought to have healed the sick and overcome death (i.e. have raised people from the dead).


Raising of the son of the widow of Nain

This is the first of three miracles of Jesus in the canonical gospels in which he raises the dead, the other two being the Jairus' daughter and of Lazarus.
