Yes, the disciples performed miracles with Jesus. Here's the breakdown:
* Jesus Delegated Authority: Jesus explicitly gave his disciples the authority to cast out demons and heal the sick. This is most clearly seen in passages like Matthew 10:1, Mark 3:14-15, and Luke 9:1-2.
* Examples of Miracles: While the Gospels don't always provide detailed accounts of specific miracles performed *by* the disciples independently, there are implications that they were active in these ministries:
* Matthew 10:8, Luke 9:6: These verses imply that the disciples, when sent out by Jesus, were healing the sick.
* Mark 6:13: When the disciples were sent out, they "drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them."
* Shared Power, Derived from Jesus: It's important to understand that the disciples' ability to perform miracles was derived from Jesus' power and authority. They were acting as his representatives and in his name.
* After the Resurrection: After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, the disciples (especially the apostles) continued to perform miracles, demonstrating the ongoing power of the Holy Spirit. The book of Acts is filled with examples of Peter, Paul, and other apostles performing miracles.
In summary, the disciples did perform miracles with and after Jesus, but their ability to do so came from his authority and power.
