John 2:5 - Forerunner Commentary

John 2:5

3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”

4 Jesus said to her, ^a“Woman, ^bwhat does your concern have to do with Me? ^cMy hour has not yet come.”

5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, ^aaccording to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.

8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it.

9 When the master of the feast had tasted ^athe water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

10 And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”

11 This ^abeginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, ^band manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

12 After this He went down to ^aCapernaum, He, His mother, ^bHis brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.

13 ^aNow the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
