Van der Loos describes two main categories of miracles attributed to Jesus: those that affected people (such as Jesus healing the blind man of Bethsaida), or "healings", and those that "controlled nature" (such as Jesus walking on water).
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. The New International Version translates the passage as: Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
