Jeffrey Kerns
BIBL 323
This paper will cover the eight great sign miracles that Jesus performed amd recorded in the Gospel of John.
First Sign/Miracle
Turning Water into Wine: This miracle was performed at the wedding at Cana. 1 On the
third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his
disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to
him, “They have no more wine.” 4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My
hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b] 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.
Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” 11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. (NIV) This sign miracle reveals the deity of Christ because it shows that Christ has power over
creation.
