June 4, 2025 – Jerusalem Post – Water into wine: Archaeologist claim to pinpoint location associated with Jesus’s first miracle

The Bible gives limited details about Jesus’ first miracle, which is said to have taken place at Cana. The Gospel of John states that Jesus turned water into wine during a wedding in the village:

“Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons,” the gospel states. “Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ so they filled them to the brim.”

The passage continues, “Then he told them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.’ They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.“

Recent excavations at Khirbet Qana, an ancient Jewish village, have unearthed evidence potentially linking the site to the biblical story of Jesus turning water into wine. A large Christian veneration cave complex, possibly a Byzantine synagogue or church, was discovered, along with a network of tunnels used for ancient Christian worship. These tunnels feature crosses, the Greek phrase “Lord Jesus,” and an altar, suggesting a pilgrimage site associated with the miracle.
