Miracle #1 – Water into Wine – John 2:1-11

Why did Jesus choose water used for ceremonial cleansing?

• The only place at the wedding with enough water.
• It signified purification. Wine represents the purest blood of cleansing.
• It was already blessed.
• Made those watching pay attention.

Verse 11 uses the term disciples. Who was already following Jesus at the time of the wedding? Describe each one’s call.

• John. He was a follower of John the Baptist and was probably at Jesus' baptism.
• Andrew. Andrew (John 1:40) he was listening to Jesus. Consistently brought others to Jesus.
• Peter. Dragged to Jesus by his brother Andrew. Jesus knows him.
• Philip. (John 1:43) Jesus went to him and he followed.
• Nathaniel. A man of no deceit. A good man and a true Israelite. His first reaction to hearing of Jesus is not positive. The fig tree he was under symbolizes restoration. Jesus knew he was well-educated.

If you were one of those disciples, how did you feel after the miracle?

• Jesus was invited as Mary/Joseph’s son, and they were celebrating the wedding.
• The disciples were almost always with Jesus.
• Nathaniel was from Cana.
• Expecting good food.
• Surprised by what Jesus did, but now they believed He was the Messiah.

Dissecting Miracle #1 – Water into Wine – John 2:1-11

Why does John specify this happened “on the third day?”

• Old wine – New covenant.

Where else is that point on a timeline highlighted by John?

• Christ’s resurrection.
