Jesus and his mother, Mary, and some of his disciples are invited to a wedding feast in Cana, a village north of Jesus’ hometown of Nazareth. Mary is a friend of the family and is apparently helping to care for the guests. But during the wedding feast, a problem arises that could greatly embarrass the family and the young couple—the wine runs out.<a id="footnotesource2" data-fnid="2" class="fn" href="/en/wol/fn/r1/lp-e/2023360/1">b</a> Perhaps the number of guests is greater than expected. Mary quickly turns to her son and says: “They have no wine.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2023360/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">John 2:1-3</a>) What does Jesus do?

For example, just two of his miracles—feeding 5,000 men and later 4,000 men—may have involved a total of over 27,000 people if we include the women and children who were also present.

After all, Jehovah was the real Source of the miracles. <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2023360/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">Acts 10:38</a> tells us: “God anointed him [Jesus] with holy spirit and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil, because God was with him.” Remember, too, that in all that Jesus said and did—including the miracles he performed—he perfectly reflected his Father’s thinking and feelings.

On one occasion, two blind men cried out to him for help. <strong>(Read</strong> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2023360/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b"><strong>Matthew 20:30-34</strong></a><strong>.)</strong> Notice that Jesus was “moved with pity” and then he healed them. As used here, the Greek verb translated “moved with pity” refers to an intense compassion felt deep inside the body. Such deep compassion, which is an expression of love, also moved Jesus to feed the hungry and to cure a leper. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2023360/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b">Matt. 15:32;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2023360/8/1" data-bid="9-2" class="b"> Mark 1:41</a>) We can be sure that Jehovah, the God of “tender compassion,” and his Son deeply love us and are pained by our suffering.

For example, he has the power to free us from the root cause of mankind’s problems—inherited sin and its effects, sickness and death. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2023360/10/0" data-bid="11-1" class="b">Matt. 9:1-6;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2023360/10/1" data-bid="11-2" class="b"> Rom. 5:12,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2023360/10/2" data-bid="11-3" class="b"> 18, 19</a>) His miraculous works proved that he can cure “every sort of” sickness and even resurrect the dead.

Or might he humbly say: ‘Yes, he did. I’m so proud of him’? When we are humble, we do not have to take credit for the good things we do for others.
