Miracle stories? Literal events? Or Symbolic?

Does the bible indicate if the miracles of Jesus are Literal event's or if any of them are simply symbollic example? Any verses to support?

The miracles of Jesus were literal events. The narration will tell you they are. The concluding verse of the gospel of John also says that.



"There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written." - John 21,25

It doesn't say. Alot of people though tend to interpret the bible literaly at times, and then symbolicly at other times...depends what point they are trying to prove...doing this allows you to find anything you want in the bible even if it isn't even there...very sneaky, sneaky...
Soon after Jesus raised Lazerus from the dead the religious leaders started planning to re-kill Lazerus due to the popularity Jesus had gained through that miracle. That would be scriptural proof of literal to me. So many miracles of Jesus are being done through his people today. It is happening all over the world. Just this week in Bontoc, Philippines freshly trained discipleship students (18-19 years old) are healing Filipinos as I write this! Since Jesus promised his followers that they would do the works that He did and greater and it is happening, I would say the recorded miracles are literal.
All of Jesus' miracles were literal events. They were also "signs" that pointed to the fulfillment of hundreds of prophesies made about Him in the Old Testament, hence the phrase, "signs and wonders."
