Matthew 4:24 NLT

News about him spread as far as Syria, and people soon began bringing to him all who were sick. And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all.

1 John 3:8 NLT

But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.

Matthew 4:24-25

He healed every kind disease and illness

disease - νόσος nŏsŏs, nos´-os; of uncert. affin.; a malady (rarely fig. of mor. disability):—disease, infirmity, sickness.1

illness - μαλακία malakia, mal-ak-ee´-ah; from 3120; softness, i.e. enervation (debility):—disease.1

all who were sick

sick - badly (phys. or mor.):—amiss, diseased, evil, grievously, miserably, sick, sore.1

He healed them all!

This is more infiormation

1 John 3:8 - 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.1

1 The New King James Version. (1982). (1 Jn 3:8). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

sinned - hamartano - to miss the mark (and so not share in the prize), to err, to sin, - for your faults, offend, sin, tresspass.

The Wedding at Cana

John 2:1-12

The miracle in itself was a miracle of transformation of time.

water into wine

the process of wine making skipped or sped up?

but perhaps the miracle we miss is the cultural embarrassment the bride and groom and their families were spared by them not running of a common wedding day staple

on another level there was something greater going on with Jesus and His mom and her request? If it truly was not His time Jesus would have done nothing, yea? Or would Jesus have done something like He did because His mother asked?

This event launched His public ministry and He had to know there was no hiding this no matter how private He attempted to keep this miracle

John 2:9 The best wine is always served first, but you have saved the best for last - “the servants knew this” the servants don’t always have to announce the knowledge they have of the power they have seen, just watch the the results of the miracle in the culture around you.

Hidden power revealed has beautiful results and hidden obedient servants are given an inside view that no one else gets to see

John 2:11 from this point forward Jesus had won His disciples over but look at John 2:23-25

Jesus Feeds the 5000 just before the time of Passover (or is the 4000?) anyway add this note - “Thus, his mention of the approaching Passover in John 6:4 is one piece of the larger Exodus typology within his account of the feeding miracle (see Miracles, Miracle Stories), with its emphasis on provision of food, manna in the wilderness and the designation of Jesus as the eschatological prophet* (“like Moses,” Deut 18:15–18).1”
