Subject: Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? |
Bible Note: bowler, I've heard this presented as He COULD NOT because of their lack of faith. It seems to me the answer is right there in the text. Not that He couldn't do them, but He DID NOT do them BECAUSE OF their unbelief. God is sovereign! It seems to me the answer is simply because they rejected Him and by his sovereign will He did not perform many miracles. Steve |
