How do we know that Jesus' miracles were authentic?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus' miracles, including the healing of the impotent man, are validated by their public nature and the transformation they brought about.

The authenticity of Jesus' miracles is supported by their public nature, as they often occurred in the presence of large crowds and were witnessed by many. In John 5, the healing of the impotent man not only transforms the man’s physical condition but also demonstrates Jesus’ authority, making a profound impact on those who witnessed it. The immediate nature of the healing—'immediately the man was made whole'—further attests to its genuineness. Additionally, the reaction of the religious leaders showcases the significance of the miracle: instead of celebrating the healing, they sought to persecute Jesus, illustrating their denial of His divine authority. Such responses highlight the controversies surrounding His ministry, reinforcing the authenticity and significance of His miracles.
