If you do a Google search of “how many miracles in the bible” you might think that the results would come back with similar numbers, but not so. Most sites agree Jesus performed 37 miracles (some 42) during His ministry, but the total number recorded in the Bible varies from 83 to 120, or 127. I guess it depends on what one considers a miracle🤔?

Definition. A miracle is a special act of God that interrupts the natural course of events. The Christian conception of the miraculous immediately depends on the existence of a theistic God (see COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT; MORAL ARGUMENT FOR GOD; TELEOLOGICAL ARGUMENT). If the theistic God exists, miracles are possible. If there is a God who can act, then there can be acts of God. The only way to show that miracles are impossible is to disprove the existence of God.
