The Definition of the word Cana

Cana

Reedy, a town of Galilee, near Capernaum. Here our Lord wrought "his first miracle, the turning of water into wine (John 2:1-11;" 4:46). It is also mentioned as the birth-place of Nathanael (21:2). It is not mentioned in the Old Testament. It has been "identified with the modern Kana el-Jelil, also called Khurbet" "Kana, a place 8 or 9 miles north of Nazareth. Others have" "identified it with Kefr Kenna, which lies on the direct road to" "the Sea of Galilee, about 5 miles north-east of Nazareth, and 12" "in a direct course from Tiberias. It is called "Cana of" "Galilee," to distinguish it from Cana of Asher (Josh. 19:28)."
