And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:30-31
John witnessed a great many miraculous works of our Lord, and he didn't write them all down for us. What, a withholding? Who gave him the right to hold these back from us? Of course we understand that for John to write all of the miracles of Jesus would be for him to still be writing to this day. Even simply those works done in our Lord's brief ministry, as John writes in verse 25 of the next chapter, would overwhelm the book capacity of this world. By the ones written down in John's gospel though we have this great opportunity: take this the testimony of John as eye witness and believe in the Lord Jesus, and then we have life in His name.
A simple formula for us simple people,
