What was Jesus' miracles?

Since the question is not limited to the mortal ministry or even the mortal life of Jesus, we may therefore look to the pre-mortal miracles performed by Jesus. Prior to his mortal life Jesus was known as Jehovah. The very first miracle that we have record of is his creation of the earth.

However, if the question is to be construed as to the first mortal miracle Jesus performed then the conversion of water to wine was the first miracle performed during his mortal ministry.

If the question is to be construed as to the first miracle Jesus performed as Christ, then this means we must look to miracles after Jesus' resurrection. It was not until after his resurrection that Jesus became the Christ. The first miracle performed after the resurrection is debatable; it could be his appearance to Mary in the garden, his appearance to the apostles, or his ascension into heaven.

Jesus' first miracle is turning water into wine. This is explained in John 2:1-11 which says

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."

"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come."

His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[a]

Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."

They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.
