Cana Ca'na. (place of reeds) Cana of Galilee, once Cana in Galilee. A village or town, not far from Capernaum, memorable as the scene of Christ's first miracle, Joh_2:1And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: Joh 2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. ; Joh 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.  Joh_2:11This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. ;  as well as of a subsequent one, Joh_4:46So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. ; Joh_4:53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. Joh 4:54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee. , and also as the native place of the apostle Nathanael. Joh_21:2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. .
