How many New Testament accounts are there of the miracles Jesus performed? a.
36 b. 22 c. 27 d. 29
Answer:
a. 36. These are divided into 5 different types of miracles: 1) Power over the
elements, 2) Healing of the sick, 3) Casting out devils, 4) Causing the blind
to see and the deaf to hear, and 5) Raising the Dead

How many fish did Peter and the six other disciples catch when the resurrected
Christ told them to cast their nets again at the Sea of Galilee? a. 79 b. 87 c.
153 d. 164
Answer:
c. 153. Unlike the first miraculous catch of fish (recorded in Luke 5:1-11),
this time the nets did not break, allowing the disciples to count the number of
fishes caught. Read about the event in John 21:8-11.

mother-in-law, c. the woman with an issue of blood, d. the woman with an infirmity

b. Simon Peter’s mother-in-law. On this same Sabbath day, in addition to
healing Simon Peter’s mother-in-law, Jesus also taught in the synagogue, cast
out a devil, and at sunset healed and cast out devils from a large crowd (see
Mark 1:21-34, Matthew 8:14-17, Luke 4:33-41).

c. 3. The son of the widow of Nain, the daughter of Jairus and Lazarus.

What was the last miracle Jesus performed before His death and resurrection? a.
He cursed a fig tree b. He healed ten lepers c. He healed a servant of the high
priest d. He healed a blind man.
Answer:
c. He healed a servant of the high priest. Peter, in an attempt to protect
Jesus, cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant. Jesus straightway healed
him (see Luke 22:50-51 and John 18:10). The servant’s name was Malchus.

7.
How many “baskets full” were left over after Christ fed the 4,000? a. 3 b. 12
c. 10 d. 7
Answer:
d. 7. This number is thought to be symbolic—seven and seventy were numbers

with the placement of this miracle in Gentile territory (the eastern shore near
Galilee), might represent how all peoples
were called to feast at the table of Christ.
