The First Miracle
Jesus and his mother were invited to a wedding reception in Cana. The wine ran out and Mary asked her son to change water into wine. Later Jesus asked the servants to fill waterjars that were used for cleansing with wellwater. They did and he turned the water into wine. (2)
The Exorcism
Jesus looked into the eyes of a posessed man and commanded the demons to come out and take over a herd of swine instead. The man writhed at his feet for a moment and became healthy and well. (1, 2)
Feeding the Masses
Jesus took five barley loaves and two fish and transformed them into enough food to feed five thousand people. (2)
