Miracles are an integral part of the Bible. They prove that the Bible is the word of God. No miracle, no evidence of Deity. While miracles are a major part of the Bible, they are not abundant everywhere in the Bible. Bible miracles, not including prophecies and their fulfillment, are particularly noticeable in four great periods, centuries apart:
The establishment of the Jewish nation: Moses and Joshua: 1400 BC
The struggle with idolatry: Elijah and Elisha: 850 BC
During the captivity, when idolatry was victorious: Daniel: 600 BC
At the introduction of Christianity: Jesus and the Apostles.

Each miracle grew the young church (2:41; 5:14; 8:13; 9:35; 9:42; 19:20).
The Apostles even raised the dead (see below).
