Jesus Turns Water To Wine at Cana (Jn 2:1-12)
Where was the wine? In the jars or in the cup?
If the water in the jars really turned into wine, then the servers should have drawn wine from the jars. But this was not the case. The servers drew water from the jars and not wine:
(Jn 2,7) Jesus told them, “Fill the Jars with water”. So they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them “DRAW SOME out now and take it to the headwaiter”. So they took it. 9 And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the SERVERS WHO HAD DRAWN THE WATER KNEW), the headwaiter called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.
If the water in the jars really turned into wine, then the servers should have drawn wine from the jars. But this was not the case. The servers drew water from the jars and not wine: “although the SERVERS WHO HAD DRAWN THE WATER KNEW” asserting that the servers drew water (not wine) and knew that it came from the jars.
How could Christians claim that the jars contained wine if 'John' bluntly said that the servers drew water from them? Don’t Christians ever think about it? 'John' himself says that the
servers drew water from the jars and not wine. Therefore, the jars there still contained water. No miracle in the jars.
If the servers FILLED the jars with WATER and later they DREW WATER from the jars, then it was water all along. This ‘miracle’ must have happened after the jars, in the cup of the headwaiter.
If this ‘miracle’ happened after the jars, then this is the same trick performed today worldwide. This is not a miracle at all. This is a hoax. But we are fortunate to have 'John' as a witness so that we know how Jesus Copperfield did his miracles. ![]()
