He magically transformed water into wine. Manifested a bunch of fish and bread. Makes sense that he could have pulled a whip out of thin air too.
OP’s screen cap is cool and would make for a great graphic novel, but it also seems likely the author needed him to have a whip so he magically had a whip.
In both the wine and food situations, he didn’t pull things out of thin air. He worked with existing materials: water and empty vessels and some fish and bread that was already there.
Miracles throughout the Bible work that way as well, good can take everyday items and make them miraculous and they are because God is involved, but He is never far away. We are just like those simple things transformed by God and we need a little faith and sometimes God let’s us perform miracles too.
I have heard stories like missionaries have a keg of Gatorade and not running out. Miracle healings were also common at one of the churches I attended at my out of state college. Some immediate, some God showing His work to doctors who couldn’t with a man who had a complicated and twisted brain tumor, the church prayed and when they looked again, it was in a neat little ball to pluck out.
It's also said that some monks around the world (Nepalese, in particular) can create their own food in this way. Whether you believe this or not is up to your discernment but I personally believe that Jesus was the embodiment of maximum human potential, who both chose and was chosen to come here and set our species back on a path from which we had strayed (yet again). It just dawned on me where the 'Good Shepherd' name came from. Whoa.
Since we're on GW (<3 you open-minded pedes), I don't think it is that much of a stretch to say that since we have compiled pretty solid evidence of at least a century of societal/global slavery, it's not that outlandish to claim that our bodies [instruments] are probably capable of things that we have no idea about and/or have been purposefully kept from the general population.
It also just occurred to me that some of the rumored teachings of the masonic degrees above 33rd involve this kind of "magic," which falls in line with these things being kept as secret knowledge.
We are partially spiritual beings, we can partner with divine power (God) or demonic power. Fallen spiritual beings may lend humans their power, but they are the ones that demand child and blood sacrifices. They are bad gods to serve.
Funny how a whole village can be cured by God-powered Gatorade or peptobismal, but we don’t have any videos of arms growing back or dead rising from their graves.
Yeah he was brought up to be a craftsman and humble. A craftsman would make it himself.

A bit curious don’t you think?
