places in the bible: Cana

places in the bible: Cana by ric Gustafson


There is a village in Israel called Cana. The most likely site for the biblical Cana is either Kefr Kana which is four miles northeast of Nazareth. Another possible site is Khirbet Kana which is a village nine miles north of Nazareth.
The first miracle of Jesus occurred in this village. There was a wedding and his mother informed him that there was no more wine. Jesus ordered the servants to fill large pots with water. When the ruler tasted the water that Jesus had changed, he was astounded that the bridegroom had saved the best wine for last.
Later, Jesus came back to the village where he met a nobleman who told him that his son was sick. He told him to go because his son had already been healed.
