JESUS' UNIQUE WORKS

HIS AUTHORITY OVER NATURE

And taking leave of them, He went away to the mountain to pray.
And when evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land.
And He saw them toiling in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them. And about the fourth watch of the night He came toward them walking on the sea, and would have passed by them.
But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a phantom, and cried out.
For they all saw Him and were troubled. And immediately He talked with them, and said, Be of good cheer. I AM! Do not be afraid.
And He went up into the boat to them. And the wind was cut off. And they were very much amazed within themselves beyond measure, and marveled. (Mark 6:46-51)

And there arose a windstorm, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.
And He was in the stern of the boat, asleep on a headrest. And they awakened Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we perish?
And He awakened and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace! Be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
And they feared exceedingly and said to one another, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him? (Mark 4:37-39, 41)

HIS AUTHORITY OVER ILLNESS AND DISEASE

And great crowds came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others. And they cast them down at Jesus' feet. And He healed them,
so much so that the crowd wondered when they saw the dumb speak, the maimed sound, the lame walk, and the blind see. And they glorified the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:30,31)

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. (Matthew 9:35)

And rising up from the synagogue, He entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was being seized with a great fever. And they asked Him for her.
And standing over her, He rebuked the fever. And it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.
And the sun sinking, all, as many as had sick ones with different kinds of diseases brought them to Him. And laying hands on each of them, He healed them.
And also demons came out of many, crying out and saying, You are the Christ, the Son of God! And rebuking them , He did not allow them to speak; for they knew Him to be the Christ. (Luke 4:38-41)

When they could not come near to Him because of the crowd, they unroofed the roof where He was. And digging through, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying.
And seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, Child, your sins are forgiven to you.
But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority upon earth to forgive sins, He said to the paralytic,
I say to you, Arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house.
And immediately he arose and took up his cot and went out before all. So that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, We never saw it this way. (Mark 2:4-5, 10-12)

And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
When Jesus saw him lying, and knowing that he had spent much time, He said to him, Do you desire to be made whole?
Jesus says to him, Rise, take up your bed and walk.
And immediately the man was made whole and took up his bed and walked. And it was a sabbath on that day. (John 5:5-6, 8-9)

And as He entered into a certain village, ten leprous men met Him, who stood afar off.
And they lifted voice and said, Jesus, Master, pity us!
And seeing them , He said to them, Go show yourselves to the priests. And it happened, as they went, that they were cleansed. (Luke 17:12-14)

And behold, two blind men were sitting by the wayside. When they heard that Jesus passed by, they cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!

And Jesus stood still and called them, and said, What do you desire that I should do to you? (Matthew 20:30-32)

And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together and was not able to be completely erect.

And He laid His hands on her. And instantly she was made erect, and she glorified God. (Luke 13:11-13)

And He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
And He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

And whatever house you enter into, abide there and depart from there.
And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

Then Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
When He heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and begged Him that He would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.
The nobleman said to Him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
Jesus said to him, Go, your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went away.
And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him , saying, Your son lives.
Then he asked of them the hour when he began to get better. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives. And he himself believed, and his whole house. (John 4:46-53)

HIS AUTHORITY OVER DEATH

And drawing near the gate of the city, even behold, one having died was being carried out, an only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a considerable crowd of the city was with her.

He was still speaking when someone came from the synagogue-ruler, saying to him, Your daughter is dead, do not trouble the Teacher.
But when Jesus heard, He answered Him, saying, Do not fear, only believe and she shall be healed.
And coming into the house, He allowed no one to go in, except Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the girl.
And He put them all out. And He took her by the hand and called, saying, Little girl, arise!
And her spirit came again, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that food be given her to eat. (Luke 8:41-42, 49-51, 54-55)

Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who died, said to Him, Lord, by this time he stinks. For it is the fourth day .

And behold, a man cried aloud from the crowd, saying, Teacher, I beseech You, look on my son, for he is my only-born son.

And as he was still coming, the demon violently convulsed and tore him . And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and delivered him again to his father. (Luke 9:38-39, 42)

And when He had come out of the boat, immediately a man with unclean spirits met Him out of the tombs,
who had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one could bind him, no, not with chains
because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nor could anyone subdue him.
And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying and cutting himself with stones.
And when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped Him,
and cried with a loud voice, and said, What is to me and to You, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I adjure You by God not to torment me.
For He said to him, Come out of the man, unclean spirit!
And immediately Jesus allowed them. And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the pigs. And the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.
And the ones who fed the pigs fled and told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

And one of the crowd answered and said, Teacher, I have brought my son who has a dumb spirit to You.

And seeing that a crowd is running together, Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter no more into him!
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. (Mark 9:17, 25, 27)

And He spoke to His disciples, so that a small boat should stay near to Him, because of the crowd, lest they should press on Him.
For He had healed many, so that they pressed on Him in order to touch Him, as many as had plagues.
And unclean spirits, when they saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried, saying, You are the Son of God! (Mark 3:9-11)
