According to the Gospel of John, Jesus performed his first miracle at Cana.
John 2:1–11 describes a wedding celebration in Cana of Galilee where the wine ran out. Jesus instructed servants to fill six stone water jars, and the water became wine. The passage calls this event the first of Jesus’ signs and says it revealed his glory to his disciples.
Cana is associated with several possible archaeological sites, and its exact historical location remains debated. Traditional Christian identification often connects it with Kafr Kanna, a town northeast of Nazareth, while other proposed sites include Khirbet Qana. The Gospel itself identifies it as a village in Galilee, not as Jesus’ hometown.
This event is distinct from later miracles in the other Gospels, which do not present Cana as the setting of Jesus’ first miracle. John uses the term “sign” to emphasize what the event reveals about Jesus, rather than treating it only as a display of supernatural power.
