Bible Question: Why did Jesus require faith of those on whom He performed miracles? What is the relationship of faith to miracles?

Bible Answer: Matt 13:58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

Hank:

"Mark 6:5 '...He could do no mighty work there...' Compare Matt 13:58. This is not to suggest that His power was somehow diminished by their unbelief. It may suggest that because of their unbelief people were not coming to Him for healing or miracles the way they did in Capernaum and Jerusalem.

"Or, more importantly, it may signify that Christ limited His ministry both as an act of mercy, so that the exposure to greater light would not result in a worse hardening that would only subject them to greater condemnation, and a judgment on their unbelief. He had the power to do more miracles, but not the will, because they rejected Him. Miracles belonged among those who were ready to believe." (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1470)
