KJV John 2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
Marriage is blessed by Jesus, the disciples too. Mary seems to be there as the host for the couple.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
Ran out of wine, Mary stated the problem. "Woman" twice in this Gospel. John 19:26. Care for Mary, tradition - Ephesus.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
Mary, of all people, knew the divinity of her Son.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Firkin is in Music Man - about 10 gallons per firken. Purification rituals were and are essential.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
This command did not involve Jesus touching the water.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
Very detailed about what happened, abundance and quality of the water turned into wine.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
Miracles = signs. ταυτην εποιησεν την αρχην των σημειων. Miracles - believe.
