Correct Answer

D) Turning water into wine

In John 2:1-11, Jesus performs His first recorded miracle at a wedding in Cana, turning water into wine. This miracle demonstrates Jesus' power over the natural elements, reflecting His role in creation as described in John 1:3, "Through him all things were made."
