Exodus
Exo. 7:10-12
10 So Moses and
Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh
and before his servants, and it became a serpent.11 But Pharaoh
also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they
also did in like manner with their enchantments. 12 For every
man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up
their rods.
Exo.
8:17-19
17 And they did so.
For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth,
and it became lice on man and beast. All the dust of the land became lice
throughout all the land of Egypt.18 Now the magicians so
worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So
there were lice on man and beast. 19 Then the magicians said to
Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.

1 Kings 18:21-25
21 And Elijah
came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if
the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 22 Then
said Elijah unto the people, I, even
I only, remain a prophet of the Lord;
but Baal’s prophets are four hundred
and fifty men. 23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and
let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other
bullock, and lay it on wood, and put
no fire under: 24 And
call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by
fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

John 7:20-23
20 When the
men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying,
Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 21 And in
that same hour he cured many of their
infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. 22 Then
Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have
seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. 23 And
blessed is he, whosoever shall not be
offended in me.

Mark 16:15
15 And he
said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs
shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay
hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
John 14:12
12 Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that believeth on me, the works that
I do shall he do also; and greater works
than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
