John 2:2

"The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there."

Key Reflection

On the third day of what appears to be a significant event, a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was present. For the original audience, this detail would likely evoke memories of the Passover cycle, as many important events and feasts were timed around these days. The mention of Jesus' mother being there suggests she played an active role or had influence, which is notable given her status in Jewish society and its customs.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 2. His disciples. Those that he had made when in Judea. These were Peter, Andrew, Philip, and Nathanael. They were not yet called to be apostles, but they believed that he was the Messiah. The miracle wrought here was doubtless to convince them more fully that he was the Christ. {b} "the marriage" Heb 13:4 __________________________________________________________________
