Subject: Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? |
Bible Note: I have been pondering about the following - There are a number of instances where Jesus healed people who did not necessarily exhibt faith from what we could tell by what was written. That is not to say definitively that they did not have faith, we just don't know for sure. Some instances where Jesus Heals - Mathew 4:24, 8:16, 17, 12:15 – 21, 12:22, 14:14, 15:30, 19:2, 19:14, 21:14, Luke 5:15, 9:42, 22:51, John 5:1 - 9. Here are some instances where Jesus healed those who it was written did have faith and were healed - Mathew 8:8, 9:2-8, 15:22 – 28, Mark 10:47-52, Luke 7:44-48, 17:17-19, Here is my question - Why is it that Jesus did not do many miracles at Nazareth because of their unbelief? Mathew 13:58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief. I can see that the context is that "they" were saying that He was a local with family there, but they admit that He was doing the miracles, but then they took offense at Him. Seeing as how Jesus did miracles of healing when around the unbelieving Pharisees and Scribes and Sadducees, I am trying to understnad why it made a difference there at Nazareth that they were full of unbelief? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |
