John 2

John 2:4

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

Thou, who art my parent according to the flesh, mayest justly look for all due respects from me, in all earthly occasions; but, when it comes to divine matters, the business of my Heavenly Father, it is not for thee to interpose thyself: the will of God is known to me; and the times are in his most wise and eternal counsel set, when my miraculous works shall be done: it is not, as yet, proper and seasonable for me, to do that which thou requirest; but when I see my meet season for this act, I will accordingly effect it.

John 2:6

And there were set there six water-pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

And there were six large vessels of stone, for the receipt of water, for those frequent washings, which the Jewish traditions had brought into use; each of them containing two or three firkins: so as the measure of them was great, and far more than the proportion of that quantity of liquor, which the present necessity might seem to require.

John 2:11

This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

This was the first of those miracles, which he wrought, with intention of the public notice of the world; for the manifestation of his glory, in the execution of this public office of the Messiah; and his disciples, upon the sight hereof, believed in him.

John 2:24

But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men.

Many believed in him, but Jesus did not rely upon their fidelity, because he knew all the hearts of men; and therefore well understood, who were truly affected to him, and who were false and hollow notwithstanding their pretences of reverence and kind respects to him.
