- Jesus resurrects Lazarus, apparently a noteworthy man who's resurrection should have gotten attention. John 11
- Jesus is treated to a banquet and a massage by apparently a wealthy man. Matt 26:6
- A centurion seeks out Jesus to heal his servant. Matt 8:5
- Herod Antipas talked about Jesus, wondering if he was John the Baptist resurrected. Matt 14
- As Matt 4:23-24 stated, people came from all over nearby provinces to be healed by Jesus, including the story of one woman wealthy enough to seek other physicians and finally came to Jesus to touch his cloak and be healed. Mark 5:25
- And of course the triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
