| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Miracle |
 | | This is clearly expressed by Christ in the raising of Lazarus (John, xi), and the Evangelist says that Jesus, in working His first miracle at Cana, "manifested his glory" (John, ii, 11). |
 | | He came to give life to men, and this teaching is emphasized by raising the dead to life, especially in the case of Lazarus and His own Resurrection. |
 | | Finally, the prophetic element of the fortunes of the individual and of the Church is shown in the miracles of stilling the tempest, of Christ on the waters, of the draught of fishes, of the didrachma and the barren fig tree. |
