Moses stretched out his arms over the sea (Exodus 14:22):"And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon thedry ground; and the waters were a wall unto them on the righthand, and on their 1eft."C. But Jesus could cast out devils.M. Jesus himself admined that other people could do it (Matthew12:27 and Luke I I:I9): "An d ifby Beelzebub cast out devils, bywhom do your children cat them out? therefore shall they be yourjudges."Also the disciples could cast out devils as Jesus said (Matthew7:22): "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we notprophesied in thy name: and in thy name have cast out devils? andin thy name done many wonderful works?"Even false prophets would do wonders, as prophesied by Jesushimself (Matthew 24:24): "For there shall arise Christs, and falseprophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; inasmuch that,if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."C. But Elijah and Elisha did wonders through praying to the Lord.M.

All miracles performedby Jesus had been done by previous prophets, disciples, and evenwrbelievers. On the other hand, Jesus could do no mighty workwhere there was unbelief (Mark 6:5-6): "And he could there do nomiShfy work, save that that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk.and healed them. And he marvelled because of their rurbelief. Andhe went around about the villages, teaching."C. But Jesus was resurrected three davs after he died.
