The biblical references to Cana are also in John : John 4:46, which mentions that Jesus is visiting Cana when he is asked to heal the son of a royal official at Capernaum; and John 21O2, where it is mentioned that Nathanael (sometimes identified with the Bartholomew included in the synoptic gospels’ lists of apostles) come from Cana. The Book of Joshua mentions one city (19:28) and one brook (16:8;17:9) named Cana – neither is likely to be the Cana of Galilee.
