A:

The miracle of turning water into wine is described only in John chapter 2, occurring "on the third day", or soon after the baptism of Jesus, and Jesus told his mother that his time [for miracles] had not come. For this reason, caution should be exercised in accepting this miracle as having really happened. In the synoptic gospels, Jesus had begun his forty days in the wilderness at this time, so could not have been at a wedding in Cana.

The author of John's Gospel, as the gospel name implies traditionally regarded as the apostle John, liked to ascribe to Jesus miracles similar to those attributed to the pagan gods. Just as the god Dionysus turned water into wine, so Jesus turned water into wine. Later in the same gospel, we are told of Jesus healing the lame man at the five-sided pool, now known to have been part of an Asclepium. a temple to the Greek god Asclepius. When Asclepius (John's "angel") came by and disturbed the water, the first to enter would be cured, but the lame man was never able to reach the water first.
