Many people, both then and now do not believe - But seeing is believing - you would have to be a fool not to believe when you see Jesus performing a miracle.
Or rather, those vast majority are testimony to God's words: "The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good." in Psalm 53.
For Jesus did the miracles so that the people would believe on him. (John 2.11), and he said to the leaders of that 'vast majority';
" Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." (John 8.44)
But happily, after the pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Ghost, many of these same leaders were obedient to the faith, (Acts 6.7)

Why was Jesus unable to perform miracle in his howntown?
It wasn't that Jesus could not perform miracles in Nazareth it was because of the people disbelief. The people of Nazareth knew Jesus as He had grown up in that little town. They remembered Him as the Son of Mary and (supposed Son of Joseph), the carpenter. They could not believe He was the Messiah. Miracles belonged among those who were ready to believe.
What two things that motivated Jesus to perform miracles?
Love for others and faith in God. Jesus did all miracles through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus wasn't some superhuman as some try to make out, he could only do what we humans can do.

Because God had revealed it to him, (Matthew 11.12). and as Jesus said to another scribe, he was not far from the kingdom of God.
Why are miracles important to Christianity?
Yes it is in the sense of what the miracles demonstrated. Although not the only pointer, they demonstrated who He was - the Son of God. They also demonstrated that God not only has power but that He cares for those in need. The two go together - if He claimed to be God but was powerless we would tend to question the validity of His claims. But if He did have the power and did not use it for good we would tend to doubt His love.
Why did Jesus come through a virgin?

How was saint peter like Jesus?
A:Acording to Acts of the Apostles, Peter could perform the same miracles as Jesus had done, even raising Tabitha from the dead. Just as Jesus could perform involuntary miracles, such as when the woman with the issue of blood touched his hem and was cured, so also people brought the sick just in the hope that Peter's shadow would pass over them and they would be cured.One view of Acts would be that it is an extreme form of hagiography in the way it portrays the apostles, especially Peter and Paul, as being able to perform miracles at will. New Testament scholars say that Acts of the Apostles is a book of miracles rather than of history. Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) goes as far as to say that the whole of Acts is a simply a work of Propaganda. On this view, Saint Peter did not perform any miracles at all. This brings Peter back to the ranks of ordinary humans, unlike Jesus in the gospels.

Did Jesus really perform miracles Give reasons for and against?
Reasons for: Many sources, including the Bible, attest to Jesus performing miracles such as healing the sick and walking on water. These miracles are sometimes seen as evidence of his divinity and unique connection to God. Reasons against: From a skeptical perspective, the accounts of Jesus' miracles may be considered as embellishments or exaggerations over time, as they were written decades after the events allegedly occurred. Some argue that natural explanations or placebo effects could have produced the observed outcomes.
What was the reaction of the people from Nazareth towards Jesus?
In his own country, Jesus could do no mighty work except heal a few sick people; he marvelled at their unbelief. It is suggested that Jesus was powerless to perform miracles unless the people believed, an indication that psychomatic diseases were involved.
Why did Jesus move?
If there is any reason that can be discerned for Jesus' move from Nazareth, to base his mission around Capernaum, it can be found in Mark 6:5-6, which states that, in his own country, Jesus could do no mighty work except heal a few sick people. He marvelled at the unbelief of the people of Nazareth, the people who knew him too well to believe in his miracles.
