What is an example of a non-biblical miracle?

Jesus walking on water
Virgin Mary's apparitions in Lourdes, France
Moses receiving the Ten Commandments
Noah's Ark

The correct answer is: Jesus walking on water

The correct choice reflects a miracle that is not found in biblical texts. The Virgin Mary's apparitions in Lourdes, France, involve events that are documented outside of the Bible and are part of Catholic tradition, making them a non-biblical miracle. These apparitions are believed to be miraculous events where Mary appeared to a young girl named Bernadette Soubirous in 1858, showcasing an instance of divine intervention recognized by the Church but not explicitly mentioned in biblical scripture. In contrast, the other options all originate from the Bible, as they pertain directly to events described within the biblical narrative. These all align with biblical miracles, thereby reinforcing the distinction between biblical and non-biblical miraculous events.
