Miracles and Parables:
The first miracle: Jesus Turning Water into Wine.
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

8. Many believe that the wine Jesus made was Strong Drink, Fermented Wine.
8 Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: So will I do for my servants’ sakes, That I may not destroy them all.
Isaiah
1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Proverb 20:1
30 They that tarry long at the wine; They that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, When it giveth his colour in the cup, When it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, And stingeth like an adder.
30 They that tarry long at the wine; They that go to seek mixed wine.
Do you think that Jesus would make wine that causes man to sin?
Proverbs 23:30-
The Mote and the Beam.
The Mote and the Beam.
What is a Parable?
A Parable is a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus Christ.
Each Parable has a lesson for everyone.
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
