So the people asked, “What miracle {\cf2\super [88]} will you do to prove \{that you are the One God sent\}? If we can see you do a miracle, then we will believe you. What will you do?
The man of God gave proof to the people that these things would happen. He said, “This is proof that the Lord told me about. The Lord said, ‘This altar will break apart. And the ashes on it will fall onto the ground.”
“Pharaoh will ask you to prove your power. He will ask you to do a miracle. Tell Aaron to throw his walking stick on the ground. While Pharaoh is watching, the stick will become a snake.”
Those people say, “We wish God would hurry and do the things he plans to do. Then we would know what will happen. We wish the Lord’s plan would happen soon. Then we would know what his plan is.”
If he is really the Christ, {\cf2\super [228]} the king of Israel (the Jews), then he should \{save himself by\} coming down from the cross now. We will see this, and then we will believe in him.” The robbers that were being killed on the crosses beside Jesus also said bad things to him.
The Pharisees {\cf2\super [93]} came to Jesus and asked him questions. They wanted to test Jesus. So they asked Jesus to do a miracle {\cf2\super [94]} to show that he was from God.
But if I do the same things my Father does, then you should believe in the things I do. You might not believe in me, but you should believe in the things I do. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
The people saw this miracle {\cf2\super [84]} that Jesus did. The people said, “He must truly be the Prophet {\cf2\super [85]} that is coming into the world.”
Help us to be brave by showing us your power: make sick people well, give proofs, and make miracles {\cf2\super [78]} happen by the power of Jesus, your holy servant.”
God also proved it by using wonders, great signs, and many kinds of miracles. {\cf2\super [7]} And he proved it by giving people gifts through the Holy Spirit. {\cf2\super [8]} He gave those gifts the way he wanted.
