Commentators highlight that Jesus’ miracles were unique, setting Him apart from all prophets. Scholars like Albert Barnes and John Calvin note that He performed them by His own divine authority, not by invoking God's power as others did. These unparalleled works served as undeniable proof of His identity, making the people's rejection of Him particularly inexcusable.
