Miracles

1. What types of miracles do you find in Mark's gospel?
2. How many miracles did Jesus perform, and how would you categorize each of them?
3. According to Q (Mt 11:4-5; Lk 7:22) and the synoptics (e.g. Mk 3:22-26; Lk 11:19-20; Mt 12:27-28), Jesus viewed his miracles as signs that the reign of God was present. Keeping in mind that the same Greek word, sozo, means both "save" and "heal," what was Jesus' view of the relationship between "faith" and healing/salvation?
4. In light of these two facts, should miracles be the test of whether the Kingdom of God is present among Christians today?
