Seven Signs Confirming Jesus' Claims To Be The Messiah

The Jews had been waiting for the arrival of God's Anointed One - The Messiah - for hundreds of years before Jesus was born. They knew that when he came, he would authenticate his claims by performing a number of miraculous 'signs'. John records seven in his gospel to support Jesus' claim to be the Messiah.

The table above summarises these 'signs'. Of all the signs for which the Jews looked in the Messiah, the ultimate proof was his ability to raise a dead person to life. To read John's account of Jesus raising Lazarus to life, click JESUS RAISES LAZARUS TO LIFE.
