The marriage in Cana of Galilee
Summary:
The marriage in Cana of Galilee, the first sign of the action of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of John, still fascinates both ordinary listeners and Bible scholars because of the multiplicity of semantic nuances that can be so given to the importance of this miracle, on the one hand from the alternation of water in wine, as well as the actions of the other protagonists of the point. The historicity of the first miracle of Jesus Christ is proven as it is recorded in the Holy Gospel of John. The Evangelist John chooses to mention in his text only seven of the miracles that Jesus Christ performed, with the first miracle being in Cana of Galilee (the alternation of water to wine and even good quality). The first miracle was boxed in the purely ceremonial context of every Jewish marriage of that time. This is an event that took place in a particular historical space-time, and all of the above elements aid in the regularity and validity of the miracle. Various interpretive attempts at analysis have approached from the point of various angles. These approaches have highlighted two particular points that are identified, reported and analyzed in the most powerful and informative way possible in the present work. The Son of God begin His earthly doctrinal and miraculous action from the marriage of Cana, thereby highlighting the humanitarian and universal human nature of His earthly course as the fruit of His infinite love for humankind. Through the alternation of water to wine, it is indirectly claimed that the "crew of time" came indirectly for the Lord to begin His teaching in conjunction with His miraculous action. In conclusion, the miracle of Cana's marriage in Galilee contributed to the growth and empowerment of the faith of the first core of the Lord's disciples, as the first six disciples began to realize and understand just a few days after their gradient, the depth and the dynamic of the facial sermon of this person that they followed.
