Denny answers:
Jesus performed miracles because He is God!
Jesus was a person and God at the same time; He was God's own Son. Because of this, Jesus had all of the powers of God to do anything He wanted, including miracles. Jesus' miracles really did happen. He did them to prove to people that He was the Messiah the Bible had promised and because He wanted to show them His love.
Jesus had the power to do all of His miracles on His own, but He sometimes used people like the disciples to complete them. In the Bible, we read about how God used prophets and other believers to make miracles possible. God can do anything He wants because He is all-powerful!
