Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
(John 21:25)
Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. (John 20:30)
--------------
From the above passages it seems crystal clear that Jesus performed many miracles infact john goes as far as saying "that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written." To be honest that's a great exaggeration made by john I mean if Jesus performed miracles from the age of 30 as the bible states how many could be possible do in 3 years of his ministry? Are u saying it did a Miracle every second even if he did we can easy calculate how many were done and document them on paper that's not exactly going to fill the whole world that's without doubt, but that's not my discussion here I want to know if Jesus performed all those miracles why were the Jews demanding to see a sign from Jesus? They kept on asking him for a sign yet Jesus refused to show them? It's ok for the disciples to see them, yet the Jews rabbis Pharisees learned men's who followed him day and night didn't see a single sign (miracle) how comes?
One may say even if Jesus did show them they won't believe? But isn't that's what they were asking to see a sign unless you show them how could they believe? This raises the question was he even able performed a miracle if his oppositions couldn't see it below is a few passages to prove this
--------------------
One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, demanding that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority
(Matthew 16:1)
One day some teachers of religious law and Pharisees came to Jesus and said, "Teacher, we want you to show us a miraculous sign to prove your authority."
(Matthew 12:38)
And He was also saying to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it turns out. "And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be a hot day,' and it turns out that way. "You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time? (Luke 12:54-56)
Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him. (Luke 23:8)
As the crowd pressed in on Jesus, he said, "This evil generation keeps asking me to show them a miraculous sign.....
(Luke 11:29)
The Jews then said to Him, "What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?" (John 2:18)
So they said to Him, "What then do You do for a sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform? (john 6:30)
Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven
-------------------------------
The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him. Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation."Leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side
(Mark 8:11-13)
The above passage is clear when the Jews asked for a sign miracles Jesus said no sign will be given and went? This raises the second doubt Matthew tells us Jesus said no sign will be given other then the sign of Jonah the 3 days and 3 nights sign?
But my challenge is show us one evidence from any of the Gospels where the Jews witnessed Jesus resurrect as the sign he offered them? We are told his disciples witnessed him but the challenge was given to the Pharisees Jews rabbis not the disciples... Bring your evidence if you are truthful... Also what makes one laugh is Christians pretend to have got sign from Jesus saying Jesus came to them or spoke to them or touched them yet when the main head Jews of that time asked a sign from Jesus and they got nothing......
Very Big SHAME!!!!!
