Matthew 9: ¹⁸While Jesus was still speaking, an official came and knelt in front of him. The man said, "My daughter has just now died! Please come and place your hand on her. Then she will live again." ¹⁹Jesus and his disciples got up and went with the man.
    ²⁰A woman who had been bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and barely touched his clothes. ²¹She had said to herself, "If I can just touch his clothes, I will get well." ²²Jesus turned. He saw the woman and said, "Don't worry! You are now well because of your faith." At that moment she was healed.
    ²³When Jesus went into the home of the official and saw the musicians and the crowd of mourners, ²⁴he said, "Get out of here! The little girl isn't dead. She is just asleep." Everyone started laughing at Jesus. ²⁵But after the crowd had been sent out of the house, Jesus went to the girl's bedside. He took her by the hand and helped her up. ²⁶News about this spread all over that part of the country. (CEV)
1. Why did Jesus do so many wonderful miracles. and who benefitted the most?

Matthew 9: ²⁷As Jesus was walking along, two blind men began following him and shouting, "Son of David, have pity on us!" ²⁸After Jesus had gone indoors, the two blind men came up to him. He asked them, "Do you believe I can make you well?" "Yes, Lord," they answered. ²⁹Jesus touched their eyes and said, "Because of your faith, you will be healed." ³⁰They were able to see, and Jesus strictly warned them not to tell anyone about him. ³¹But they left and talked about him to everyone in that part of the country. (CEV)
2. What reasons did Jesus have for not wanting healed people to tell anyone about him?

Matthew 9: ³²As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, some people brought to him a man who could not talk because a demon was in him. ³³After Jesus had forced the demon out, the man started talking. The crowds were so amazed that they began saying, "Nothing like this has ever happened in Israel!" ³⁴But the Pharisees said, "The leader of the demons gives him the power to force out demons." (CEV)
3. Why were the highly educated religious leaders so angry and unbelieving toward Jesus?

Matthew 9: ³⁵.... He taught in their meeting places and preached the good news about God's kingdom. Jesus also healed every kind of disease and sickness.(CEV)
4. How do miracles enable us to understand Jesus' power even though we haven't seen Him?

John21: ²⁹.... The people who have faith in me without seeing me are the ones who are really blessed!" ³⁰Jesus worked many other miracles for his disciples, and not all of them are written in this book. ³¹But these are written so that you will put your faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. If you have faith in him, you will have true life. (CEV)
5. Tell us how Jesus helps you understand and experience what true life is really all about.
