9. Why were many attracted to Christ?
“A great multitude followed Him, _because they saw His miracles which He
did on them that were diseased_.” John 6:2.
NOTE.—A miracle is the display of divine or superhuman power in
some unusual or extraordinary manner; hence its nature to attract
attention. Christ fed the five thousand with the multiplied loaves
and fishes, and all men wondered. Every day God feeds millions of
humanity with the multiplied fruits of the earth, and no one
marvels. Christ, by a shortened process, changed water into wine,
and everybody was astonished; but every year God does this in the
usual way—through the vine—in almost limitless quantities, and no
one is astonished. A divine miracle, therefore, whenever
performed, is wrought to heal and to save, and to call attention
to the source of divine power.
10. What did the people say when they saw these things?
“_He hath done all things well_: He maketh both the deaf to hear, and the
dumb to speak.” Mark 7:37.
11. What kinds of disease and sickness did Jesus cure?
“And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and _healing all manner of sickness
and all manner of disease among the people_.” “Great multitudes followed
Him, and _He healed them all_.” Matt. 4:23; 12:15.

Miraculous Draft Of Fishes. "Launch out into the deep, and let down your
nets." Luke 5:4.
12. Who were brought to Him for healing?
“And they brought unto Him _all sick people that were taken with divers
diseases and torments_, and those which were _possessed with devils_, and
those which were _lunatic_, and those that had the _palsy_; and He healed
them.” Matt. 4:24.
13. To the woman who had been healed by touching His garment, what did
Christ say made her whole?
“_Thy faith_ hath made thee whole.” Matt. 9:22.
14. What did He say to the two blind men as He healed them?
“According to your _faith_ be it unto you.” Verse 29.
15. To another whose sight He had restored, what did Christ say?
“_Thy faith_ hath saved thee.” Luke 18:42.
16. Why did not Christ work many miracles in His own country?
“And He did not many mighty works there _because of their unbelief_.”
Matt. 13:58.
17. What lesson did Christ design to teach in healing the man sick of the
palsy?
“But _that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to
forgive sins_, (He said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee,
Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.” Luke 5:24.
NOTE.—By His miracles, therefore, Christ designed to teach faith
in the power of God not only to _restore the body_, but to _heal
the soul_.
18. What effect did Christ’s miracles have upon the individuals restored,
and the people who witnessed them?
