John 3:16 (ESV)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
The Grace New Testament Commentary A. The First Sign (2:1–4:42)
A. The First Sign (2:1–4:42)
1. The first sign: water to wine (2:1–11)
2:1. On the third day refers to day six, the day after the last day mentioned (John 1:43). A wedding in Cana of Galilee (cf. 4:46) took place on day six in this new-creation week. Thus in this sequence, like the original creation, Jesus completes His new-creation work on day six (vv 1–11).
Weddings symbolize new life. This is the first of eight specific events that John calls signs (2:1–11, 18–22; 4:46–54; 5:1–16; 6:1–14; 9:1–41; 11:1–44).
