Turning Water into Wine (John 2:1-11)

When a large crowd followed Jesus to a remote place, he compassionately fed them with just five loaves of bread and two fish. Miraculously, everyone ate their fill, and there were even twelve baskets of leftovers. This miracle demonstrated Jesus’ ability to provide abundantly, even in the face of scarcity.
Walking on Water (Matthew 14:22-33)
