He Doesn't Stay Dead

Storms, lepers, 5,000 fed, a man four days in the tomb.

23 stories

From the first "let there be light" to tongues of fire at Pentecost, the miracles in the Bible aren't random magic tricks — they're signs, each one making a claim about who God is. The sea splits to free slaves. Bread falls from the sky in a desert. A wedding runs out of wine and gets a better vintage than it started with. A man four days dead walks out of his own tomb.

This collection walks through the Bible's most famous miracles in order, Old Testament to New, each retold as a short immersive audio episode. Listen in the Bible Tea app.

The miracles, in the order they happened

Water to Wine

John 2:1-11

Jesus's first recorded miracle is saving a wedding from social disaster. Six stone jars of water — about 150 gallons — become wine so good the caterer compliments the groom for saving the best for last.

Jesus Feeds 5,000

Matthew 14:13-21

Five loaves, two fish, five thousand men plus women and children — and twelve baskets of leftovers. The only miracle recorded in all four gospels, which tells you how much it stunned everyone who saw it.

Jesus Walks on Water

Matthew 14:22-33

In the middle of a night storm, the disciples see a figure walking on the waves and assume ghost. Peter gets out of the boat and briefly walks on water too — until he looks at the storm instead of Jesus. "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

Jesus Stops a Storm

Mark 4:35-41

A storm violent enough to scare professional fishermen, and Jesus is asleep on a cushion. Three words — "Peace, be still" — and the sea goes flat. The disciples' question is the whole point: "Who is this, that even the wind and waves obey him?"

The Widow's Son Lives Again

Luke 7:11-17

Jesus interrupts a funeral in Nain, moved by compassion for a widow burying her only son. He touches the stretcher — making himself ritually unclean — and tells the dead man to get up. He does.

Jairus's Daughter & the Bleeding Woman

Mark 5:21-43

Two miracles woven into one story: a woman healed of twelve years of bleeding just by touching Jesus's robe in a crowd, and a synagogue ruler's twelve-year-old daughter raised from her deathbed. "Talitha koum — little girl, get up."

Born Blind, Now Sees

John 9

Mud, spit, and a wash in the pool of Siloam give a man born blind his first ever glimpse of the world. The healing takes one verse; the religious investigation it triggers takes the rest of the chapter.

Lazarus Lives Again

John 11:1-44

Jesus deliberately arrives four days late — past the point where anyone believed recovery possible — then calls his friend out of the tomb by name. The miracle so undeniable it convinced the authorities Jesus had to die.
