Water turned into wine at Cana
This article explores Jesus' first miracle, recounted in John 2.1-11. At the wedding at Cana, Jesus turns water into wine, revealing his divine nature and inaugurating his ministry. Mary plays a key role by asking Jesus for help. This miracle symbolizes the transition from an old covenant to a new covenant of grace, illustrating divine generosity and strengthening the disciples' faith.
John 2.1-11 (King James Version) :And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
