CANA.—A Galilæan village, where Christ turned water into wine (Joh_2:1) and healed with a word a nohleman’s son who lay sick at Capernaum (Joh_4:46). Nathanael was a native of this place (Joh_21:2). Three sites have been suggested as identifications, any one of which would satisfy the meagre indications. These are Kanat el-Jelil, perhaps the most probable, north of Sephurieh; ‘Ain Kana, east of Nazareth; and Kefr Kenna, north-east of, and a little farther from, the same town. The last is the site fixed upon by ecclesiastical tradition.

Cana of Galilee. A town where Jesus performed His first miracle, turning the water into wine, and a second one, healing the nobleman's or courtier's son at Capernaum, by a word spoken at a distance (John 2; Joh_4:46; Joh_4:54). Nathanael belonged to Cana (Joh_21:2); it was more elevated than Capernaum, as Jesus "went down" from it there (Joh_2:12). The traditional site is Kefr Kenna, 5 miles N.E. of Nazareth. Another site has been proposed by Dr. Robinson, namely, Khirbet Kana or Kana el Jelil, but the balance of evidence supports the traditional spot. (See WINE.)

Ca'na. (place of reeds) Cana of Galilee, once Cana in Galilee. A village or town, not far from Capernaum, memorable as the scene of Christ's first miracle, Joh_2:1; Joh_2:11; Joh_4:46, as well as of a subsequent one, Joh_4:46; Joh_4:54, and also as the native place of the apostle Nathanael. Joh_21:2. The traditional site is at Kefr-Kenna, a small village about 4 1/2 miles northwest of Nazareth. The rival site is a village situated farther north, about five miles north of Seffurieh (Sepphoris), and nine miles north of Nazareth.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


a town of Galilee, where Jesus performed his first miracle, Joh_2:1-2, &c. It lay in the tribe of Zebulun, not far from Nazareth. Cana was visited by Dr. E. D. Clarke, who says, “It is worthy of note, that, walking among the ruins of a church, we saw large massy stone pots, answering the description given of the ancient vessels of the country; these were not preserved nor exhibited as reliques, but lying about, disregarded by the present inhabitants, as antiquities with whose original use they were unacquainted. From their appearance, and the number of them, it was quite evident that a practice of keeping water in large stone pots, each holding from eighteen to twenty-seven gallons, was once common in the country.”

Ca?na, a town in Galilee, not far from Capernaum, where Christ performed his first miracle by turning water into wine (Joh_4:46). This Cana is not named in the Old Testament, but is mentioned by Josephus as a village of Galilee. The site has long been identified with the present Kefr Kenna, a small place about four miles north-east from Nazareth, on one of the roads to Tiberias.
There is a ruined place called K?na el-Jelil, about eight miles N. ? E. from Nazareth, which Dr. Robinson is inclined to regard as the more probable site of Cana. His reasons are certainly of considerable weight.
