Miracle stories in the gospels

Miracle types

The miracle stories of the Gospels can be divided into four fairly distinct groupings:

Healing miracles (curing of physical impairments and illnesses)
Exorcisms (casting out demons and unclean spirits)
Nature miracles (calming storms, feeding multitudes.)
Restoration miracles (raising the dead, restoring to life)

It is important to note that contemporary readers of Scripture would place exorcisms within the healing miracles grouping. To a person living in the first century, anyone with a bodily discharge or suffering an epileptic fit would be viewed as being possessed by an unclean spirit. A more sophisticated understanding would suggest that this is, in reality, a medical condition and not the existence of a demon or spirit.
