77. Rev. Albert Barnes

Rev. Albert Barnes

Rev. Albert Barnes, in his commentary on John 2:10, says: “The wine of Judea was the pure juice of the grape, without any mixture of alcohol, and commonly weak and harmless. It was the common drink of the people, and did not tend to produce intoxication.”

All acquainted with Mr. Barnes know that he would not make such a statement until he had given the subject a patient and thorough examination. Having scrutinized all the authorities, he has thus recorded upon the printed page his clear and honest convictions.
