How do we know the miracles of Jesus are true?

The Gospels, including Matthew, were written with the specific purpose of establishing faith in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God. In John 20:31, it states that these things were written so that we might believe in Jesus and have life through his name. The repeated accounts of his miracles — such as the feeding of the multitudes — serve to reinforce the truth of his divine authority and compassion. Each miracle, particularly those that appear multiple times in different contexts, serve as a testament to his power over nature, sickness, and even sin. The repetition of these events is significant; it reassures us of his ability to save and demonstrates that he is a consistent source of compassion and help. Ultimately, the miracles point to Jesus' identity and his mission to redeem sinners, establishing a credible foundation for faith in him.
