Wine II

John 2: 1-12 21st Century King James Version 2 And on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; 2 and both Jesus and His disciples were called to the marriage. 3 And when they lacked wine, the mother of Jesus said unto Him, “They have no wine.” 4 Jesus said unto her, “Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come.” 5 His mother said unto the servants, “Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.” 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, holding twenty to thirty gallons apiece. 7 Jesus said unto them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He said unto them, “Draw some out now, and bear it unto the governor of the feast.” And they took it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, not knowing from whence it had come (but the servants who drew the water knew), the governor of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said unto him, “Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine, and when men have drunk well, then that which is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine until now.” 11 This beginning of miracles Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples believed in Him. 12 After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brethren and His disciples; and they continued there a few days.
Explore verse 10 in more detail: Remember the Jewish nation was under the law in their religion. The law said that they had to do ceremonial washing and the pots that were filled were ceremonial pots. The water was turned into wine, a wine better than that which was served first to the guests. God sent the law, the prophets and then at last God sent His own Son. God saved the best for last. Hallejulah ..

A well-known story of the first miracle of Jesus. It was His beginning of His Passion. Blessings.

Victor, Yes, Jesus turned the water into wine out of the ceremonial jars which the nation of Israel used in their homes to wash their hands of what they came in contact with out in the Gentile world. But the best wine out of those jars was Jesus saying that He was the best which was saved for last. Sara K
