Water Miracles in the Bible - 9

Water to wine

John 2:1-11 

1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 

2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 

3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

4 “Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 

10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

Healing waters

John 5:1-4 

1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews. 

2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 

3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. 

4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the  water; then whoever stepped in first, after  the stirring  of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.

Ship immediately to land

John 6:21 

Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

Another miraculous catch of fish

John 21:3-11

3 “I'm going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We'll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.

5 He called out to them, “Friends, haven't you any fish?” “No,” they answered.

6 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 

8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. 

9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.

10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”

11 Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.

John 5:4 is taken from the Bible “Spirit filled life Bible - New Kings James Version.
(In some Bibles whole verse i.e. John 5:4 is not mentioned.)
