​We know that Jesus performed miracles so that many would see them and believe and follow him.
 
John 20:29 - "Jesus said to him, “You believe because you see me. Great blessings belong to the people who believe without seeing me!”

Matthew 8 and 9
 
One day, Jesus, the son of God, went to Peter’s house. He saw that Peter’s mother-in-law was in bed with a high fever. He touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she stood up and began to serve him.
 
That evening people brought to Jesus many people who had demons inside them. He spoke and the demons left the people. He healed all those who were sick. 
 
So, Jesus made clear the full meaning of what Isaiah the prophet said:

“He took away our diseases
    and carried away our sicknesses.”
 
After that, Jesus arrived at the other side of the lake in the country of the Gadarene people. There, two men who had demons inside them came to him. They lived in the burial caves and were so dangerous that no one could use the road by those caves.
 
They came to Jesus and shouted, “What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to punish us before the right time?”
 
Near that place there was a large herd of pigs feeding. The demons begged Jesus, “If you make us leave these men, please send us into that herd of pigs.”
 
Jesus said to them, “Go!” So, the demons left the men and went into the pigs. Then the whole herd of pigs ran down the hill into the lake, and all were drowned. 
 
The men who had the work of caring for the pigs ran away. They went into town and told the people everything that happened, especially about the men who had the demons. Then the whole town went out to see Jesus. When the people saw him, they begged him to leave their area.
 
So, Jesus got into a boat and went back across the lake to his own town. Some people brought to him a man who was paralyzed and was lying on a mat. Jesus saw that these people had much faith. So, he said to the paralyzed man, “Young man, you will be glad to hear this. Your sins are forgiven.”
 
Some of the teachers of the law heard what Jesus said. They said to themselves, “What an insult to God for this man to say that!” Jesus knew what they were thinking. So, he said, “Why are you thinking such evil thoughts?
 
The Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins. But how can I prove this to you? Maybe you are thinking it was easy for me to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ There’s no proof that it really happened.
 
But what if I say to the man, ‘Stand up and walk’? Then you will be able to see that I really have this power.” So, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Stand up. Take your mat and go home.”
 
The man stood up and went home. The people saw this and they were amazed. They praised God for letting someone have such power.
 
MATTHEW 14:14-21
 
Jesus Feeds More Than 5000
 
When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd of people. He felt sorry for them, and he healed the ones who were sick.

Late that afternoon, the followers came to Jesus and said, “No one lives in this place. And it is already late. Send the people away so they can go to the towns and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said, “The people don’t need to go away. You give them some food to eat.” The followers answered, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish.”
 
Jesus said, “Bring the bread and the fish to me.” Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked into the sky and thanked God for the food. Then he broke the bread into pieces, which he gave to the followers, and they gave the food to the people.
 
Everyone ate until they were full. When they finished eating, the followers filled twelve baskets with the pieces of food that were not eaten. There were about 5000 men there who ate. There were also women and children who ate.
 
God Bless You! Jesus Loves you, and so do I! Amen!
