Although Jesus' healing miracles are great examples of his power as the Son of God, no miracle serves to show his authority over life and death more than raising the dead. Jesus only does this showstopper of a miracle a few times, but the effect helps to foreshadow his own return from the dead following the crucifixion. The Gospel of Luke 7:11-17 gives the account of Jesus raising the son of a widow from the dead as his coffin is being carried out of his home. As the BBC explains, this not only displays Jesus' triumph over the grave but establishes him to the people of Judea as part of a long legacy of miraculous figures, as the raising of the widow's son echoes a miracle performed by the prophet Elijah centuries before. Similarly, he raises the daughter of Jairus, one of the temple officials, by saying, "She isn't dead, but only sleeping," to show that death is a temporary condition in the face of the coming resurrection (Matthew 9:18-26, Mark 5:21-43, Luke 8:40-56).

Jesus' most famous resurrection other than his own, of course, was that of his friend Lazarus, the brother of his followers Mary and Martha of Bethany. The account in John 11:1-45 includes two very notable verses: first, the shortest verse in the Bible – "Jesus wept" – showing Jesus' reaction to his fallen friend; and second, Jesus' declaration to Martha, saying "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live."
