There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him. After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.

The Wedding in Cana
The Wedding in Cana
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.
Cana - 8 miles north of Nazareth and west of Capernaum
Jesus did not fail to keep to his responsibilities
He took hisw 6 disciples with him
Jesus’ mother was there
Who’s wedding? - Not told
What was Mary’s role? not told
Jesus’ own family wedding?
John’s family?
Nathaniel’s family?
When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
Wine
no sugar or yeast was added
natural fermentation
water or unfermented grape juice was added before drinking
Jesus’ ate and drank on various occasions
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”

When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
Major problem - there was no wine left !
Mary is hinting at a miracle
And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”
Jesus’ words were not a sign of rudeness
Jesus’ is clear that Mary should not think of him being merely her son
Jesus had a clear view that his miracles had a specific purpose, by eternal decree, that fulfilled his ministry
Not his time to reveal publically his true Glory - Son of God
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Mary speaks to the servants
She knows the heart of Jesus and his care and concern for others
She avoids arguing with Jesus or telling him what to do
Her actions instead are to prepare the servants to do what they might refuse to do because it would normally seem foolish
Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
This water was to be used to wash before eating
(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders,

Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
20 or 30 gallons
120 - 180 gallons in total
the jars were empty
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
“Fill the jars with water”
They filled them to the brim
And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it.
“Draw some out and take it to the master of the feat”
They obeyed
When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
Master of the feast knew nothing of what the servants did or Jesus’ instuctions
He calls the bridegroom
He informs him that the wine that remains is the best wine
The panic is over !
People would even praise him for his generousity
This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
John says this is the beginning of the signs that Jesus’ demonstrates he is the Son of God
After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.
