“There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee …. When the wine ran short, the Mother of Jesus said to Him, ‘They have no wine.’ … His Mother said to the servers, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ … Jesus told the them, ‘Fill the jars with water.’ … when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine … the headwaiter … ‘… you have kept the good wine until now.’ Jesus did this as the beginning of His Signs at Cana in Galilee and so revealed His Glory, and His Disciples began to believe in Him.”

“… They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.
Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd,
they opened up the roof above him.
After they had broken through,
they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him,
‘Child, your sins are forgiven.’ …”

“… John answered … ‘I am baptizing you with water … one mightier than I … will Baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire.’ After all the people had been baptized and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, Heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in Bodily Form like a dove. … a Voice came from Heaven, ‘You are My Beloved Son; with You I AM well pleased.'”

“When Jesus saw the vast crowd, His Heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd;
and He began to Teach them many things. * * * … taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to Heaven,
He said the Blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to His Disciples to set before the people; He also divided the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied. … they picked up twelve wicker baskets full of fragments
and what was left of the fish. Those who ate of the loaves were five thousand men.”
