First Miracle

The First Miracle Bible Verses Story
Biblical Miracle In The Bible By Jesus

As Jesus traveled to Galilee, there was a wedding feast there in a city called Cana. Mary, the mother of Jesus was there and Jesus and His disciples were invited. When they wanted wine, Mary said to Jesus, They have no wine.

Jesus said to her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? My time has not yet come. Mary then told the servants to do whatever Jesus said.

There were six stone water pots there. The Jews used to use these water pots for purifying, and each one held 18 to 27 gallons. Jesus said, Fill the water pots with water, so the servants filled them to the brim. Jesus turned the water into wine, then He told them to take some out and give it to the governor of the feast.

The First Miracle was on its way for inspection ... They served the wine to the ruler of the feast and when he tasted it, he didn't know where it came from. He called the bridegroom and said, Every man, at the beginning of a feast, serves the good wine first. And once men have drank plenty, then they serve the wine that's not as good. (Meaning, the people that were drinking would be so drunk they wouldn't notice the lower quality wine.) But, you've kept the better wine until now!

The Biblical Miracle proved to be a hit. This was the beginning of miracles that Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His magnificence, and His disciples believed in Him. It is quite interesting that the First Miracle of Jesus Christ was turning water to wine, at His Mother's (Mary) request.

Jesus went all around Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the news of God's Kingdom. He healed people that had all kinds of sickness and disease.

His fame spread throughout all Syria and people brought their loved ones to Him. They brought people who had different diseases and ailments, people who were possessed with devils, lunatics, and people who were paralyzed, and Jesus healed them.

Why do they call people who appear to be insane a "lunatic?" Well, actually the word lunar means something that relates to the moon, and it was once believed that insanity fluctuated with the phases of the moon.

These illnesses that Jesus healed weren't your common cold or minor maladies that people can go to the family doctor for or recover from with a little bit of bed rest. These were miracles. The blind could see, the deaf could hear, the crippled could walk! Ancient medicine as well as modern medicine can only describe it one way ... They were miracles!

Multitudes of people followed Jesus from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond Jordan.
