<t /><p class="bodytext">Although Jesus<n id="1" /> had performed<n id="2" /> so many miraculous signs before them, they still refused to believe in him,

<p class="bodytext">So then the Jewish leaders<n id="1" /> responded,<n id="2" /> &#8220;What sign can you show us, since you are doing these things?&#8221;<n id="3" />

So Jesus said to him, &#8220;Unless you people<n id="1" /> see signs and wonders you will never believe!&#8221;<n id="2" />

Jesus did this as his second miraculous sign<n id="1" /> when he returned from Judea to Galilee.p>

A large crowd was following him because they were observing the miraculous signs he was performing on the sick.

So they said to him, &#8220;Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

Because they had heard that Jesus<n id="1" /> had performed this miraculous sign, the crowd went out to meet him.

<p class="bodytext">Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus<n id="1" /> performed, they began to say to one another, &#8220;This is certainly <i>the Propheti><n id="2" /> <i>who is to come into the worldi>.&#8221;<n id="3" />

Yet many of the crowd<n id="1" /> believed in him and said, &#8220;Whenever the Christ<n id="2" /> comes, he won&#8217;t perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

Many<n id="1" /> came to him and began to say, &#8220;John<n id="2" /> performed<n id="3" /> no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man<n id="4" /> was true!&#8221;

So the chief priests and the Pharisees<n id="1" /> called the council<n id="2" /> together and said, &#8220;What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.

<p class="bodytext">Now Jesus performed<n id="1" /> many other miraculous signs in the presence of the<n id="2" /> disciples, which are not recorded<n id="3" /> in this book.<n id="4" />

Jesus did this as the first of his miraculous signs,<n id="1" /> in Cana<n id="2" /> of Galilee. In this way he revealed<n id="3" /> his glory, and his disciples believed in him.<n id="4" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now while Jesus<n id="1" /> was in Jerusalem<n id="2" /> at the feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing.<n id="3" />

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="2" /> you are looking for me not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate all the loaves of bread you wanted.<n id="3" />

came to Jesus<n id="1" /> at night<n id="2" /> and said to him, &#8220;Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs<n id="3" /> that you do unless God is with him.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Then some of the Pharisees began to say,<n id="1" /> &#8220;This man is not from God, because he does not observe<n id="2" /> the Sabbath.&#8221;<n id="3" /> But others said, &#8220;How can a man who is a sinner perform<n id="4" /> such miraculous signs?&#8221; Thus there was a division<n id="5" /> among them.
