There are many cases of miracles recorded in the Bible, some of which are confirmed by other, non-biblical (or religious) books. They were commonly used under the [[Old Testament]] to prove the validity of a prophet or the power of God.

Under the [[New Testament]], there were also a number of miracles performed, by Jesus and his disciples. The first '''miracle''' by [[Jesus]] was at a traditional [[marriage]], as described at John 2:1. He continued to perform miracles (sometimes referred to as "signs and wonders") regularly throughout the three years of his public ministry. Crowds gathered and followed Jesus, seeking to witness of benefit from his miracles, many of which were quite astounding, and some of which were slightly humorous. His disciples also, both during and after Jesus' ministry performed miracles of their own, through the power of God. As the early church grew and progressed, miracles were present for a time, although over time they lessened. By the end of the time recorded in the New Testament books of the Bible, miracles were seemed to be petering out. Church history indicates that they came almost to an end by around 600 A.D.
