Jesus' first miracle

[Lamb]

In the bible without the apocrypha included the first Miracle Jesus did was to turn the water into wine. In the apocrypha there are miracles He did as a child. Does it make a difference which is accurate in the account? Do you think Jesus did miracles as a child?

May I suggest that this is speculative theology?

 

[Imalive]

He created clay birds. It's in the Quran so it must be true.
Neh I don't believe that.
But He did miracles looooooong before the wedding in Cana.

Right, like creating everything in 6 days

John 2:11, in reporting the miracle at Cana, does refer to it as his first.

I believe you are referring to accounts from uninspired writings such as the Infancy Gospel of Thomas which were written much later than the Apocrypha.

Yes. I have read a few in the past but that was over 5 or 6 years ago so I don't recall too much about those writings.

Isaiah 61:1,2 [emphasis added]:
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

==============================================================================================

Matthew 3:16:
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

Mark 1:10:
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

Luke 3:22:
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

John 1:32:
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

==============================================================================================

Luke 4:18,19,21 quoting the words of Jesus [emphasis added]:
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.



Jesus likened the source of His power and authority to that of Isaiah. Before His baptism, He had led the exemplary life required of Him (Matthew 3:14), and spent time learning about Himself and His mission (Luke 2:42-49). Once He accepted that mission by being baptised, God was pleased with Him and the Spirit of God (Spirit, Holy Ghost) came upon Him (Matthew 3:17; Matthew 12:17-18; Mark 1:10-1; Luke 3:22).

Changing the water into wine was indeed Jesus’ first miracle. We can deduce that even without being directly told.
