The miracle of changing water into wine in Cana of Galilee

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III



The miracle of changing water into wine in Cana of Galilee (Jn. 2). This miracle is also an act of creation because water consists of oxygen and hydrogen only, so from where did the alcohol and the other constituents of wine come? The Lord Jesus Christ created all these elements in this miracle. The power of this miracle is that it happened by Christ’s mere inner will, without him doing any action or blessing or even giving an order to the water to change into wine. He only said " ‘Fill the water pots with water.’ And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, 'Draw some out now' " (Jn.2:7,8). Thus the water changed to wine merely by His will. He willed to create the substance of wine and it was created, even without a command.
