the gospels of matthew, mark and luke record many of these stories. the most common ones are healing people who are sick, blind, lame or deaf. in many cases, the sicknesses or other problems are said to be caused by demons. jesus said, that he had power over the demons, and so he could stop their evil work. the enemies of jesus told him to do miracles to show, that he had supernatural power, but he refused. however, for his followers, he did several miracles that showed his power. these included stopping a storm in the sea, walking on water and making a tree die.
