Jesus Makes Birds of Clay

We read in Sura al-Maidah 5:110, And when thou createst out of the clay, by My leave as the likeness of a bird, and thou breathest into it and it is a bird by my leave.

The same is claimed in Sura al-‘Imran 3:49, I have come to you with a sign from your Lord I will create for you out of clay as likeness of a bird; and it will be a bird by the leave of God.

Al-Tabari (7:127) says that Christ created birds out of clay when He was a child. Christians on the other hand, believe He is the Word of God and that all things were made by Him and without Him was nothing made ( John 1:3 ). Yet, they believe that, after He was born, He waited 30 years before starting to preach and work miracles (Luke 3:23).

The Bible affirms, definitely, that the first miracles He worked was at Cana in Galilee when He turned water into wine (John 2:11)
