The verse from John that is often referenced in relation to Catholic responses to miracles is from John 2:1, which recounts the wedding at Cana, where Jesus turns water into wine. This event is significant in Catholic tradition as it is seen as the first public miracle of Jesus, highlighting his divinity and the transformative power of faith. Catholics view this miracle as a sign of Jesus' generosity and his desire to bless and enhance human life. It emphasizes the idea that faith in Christ can lead to miraculous changes. This aligns with Catholic teachings that encourage believers to recognize and respond to miracles as manifestations of divine grace and intervention in the world. The other verses, while they may touch on aspects of belief or Jesus' identity, do not have the same emphasis on miracles that John 2:1 presents. For example, John 4:48 discusses the need for signs and wonders to foster belief, but it does not narrate a specific miracle that exemplifies a direct interaction with faith.
