Where did Jesus turn water into wine?

Answer 1

Another answer from our communiy:

Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding of his friends in Cana because the wine provided at the wedding had been consumed. It showed his power, and the disciples believed.

Jesus said,

If that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. Luke 12:45,46

Answer 2

This can be found in John chapter 2 verse 5 onwards. Where Jesus along with his mother are invited to wedding.It was held in Cana, And the wine ran out

Jesus told the people to fill the jars with water , and then take it out.,

Answer 3

Jesus turned water to wine because he was at a wedding party, and the wine ran out. In Biblical times wedding celebrations would go on for sometimes many days so it would be realtively easy to run out of wine. Also if the wine ran out at the celebration, it would reflect poorly on the bride and groom. The reason wine was used instead of water was that sometimes the water was not very clean. Also, most wine was not fermented as long back then as it is today.

Answer 4

A:

The story of Jesus turning water into wine is found in John chapter 2, where it takes place just three days after the baptism of Jesus, and replaces the temptation in the wilderness event in the synoptic gospels. The reason for this miracle is straight forward - the wedding party had run out of wine. We can look for a spiritual meaning that the author of John would have sought to convey, or a spiritual meaning relevant to our own times.

For context, John contains another passage in which Jesus healed a lame man who had been waiting at the pool near the sheep market to be cured of his disability. The King James Bible says that an 'angel' came to disturb the water in the pool, after which the first to enter would be cured, but this was typical of the Greek god Asclepius, and archaeologists have identified the pool as being part of a temple to Asclepius. This passage is part of a pattern in which Jesus could easily perform miracles performed by the Greek gods. For John, Jesus turning water into wine meant that, being fully divine, Jesus could and did perform miracles that had previously been attributed to the pagan gods.

There is no longer a need to compare Jesus to the Greek god Dionysus, and that spiritual meaning is no longer relevant to our times. We need to define new spiritual meanings for passages such as this, and you can choose for yourself how to do this. One useful suggestion is that by turning tranforming water into another substance, Jesus has the same power which God possesses - to create, transform, and change creation itself. A very different suggestion made elesewhere is that the marriage feast was itself symbolic, in which case the act of turning water into wine was a kind of parable.

Answer 5

The miracle in which Jesus turned water into wine is described only in John chapter 2, which says that Mary asked Jesus to do something because there was no wine, and Jesus told his mother that his time [for miracles] had not come. This occurred "on the third day", or soon after the baptism of Jesus, For this reason, caution should be exercised in accepting this miracle as having really happened. In the synoptic gospels, Jesus had begun his forty days in the wilderness at this time, so could not have been at a wedding in Cana.

The author of John's Gospel, as the gospel name implies traditionally regarded as the apostle John, liked to ascribe to Jesus miracles similar to those attributed to the pagan gods. Just as the god Dionysus turned water into wine, so Jesus turned water into wine. Later in the same gospel, we are told of Jesus healing the lame man at the five-sided pool, now known to have been part of an Asclepium. a temple to the Greek god Asclepius. When Asclepius (John's "angel") came by and disturbed the water, the first to enter would be cured, but the lame man was never able to reach the water first. Thus, the gospel miracle of turning the water into wine was a demonstration that Jesus could perform the same miracles as the Greek gods could.
