  3. John is the only Gospel that tell this story • John say:   ”In his disciples' presence Jesus performed many other miracles which are not written down in this book. But these have been written in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through your faith in him you may have life.” (John 20:30-31) and “Now, there are many other things that Jesus did. If they were all written down one by one, I suppose that the whole world could not hold the books that would be written.” (John 21:25)

  4. Was it really the first miracle? • This is the Good News about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Mark 1:1 • Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Spirit.

I do this so that you will know the full truth about everything which you have been taught.” (Luke 1:3-4)
