Why did she need to tell Jesus that there was no wine? Don’t you think he was well aware of the circumstances?
So what was the point of that statement?
“Why did she need to tell Jesus that there was no wine?”
Why did any human being ever tell Jesus anything?
“Don’t you think he was well aware of the circumstances?”
Do you think that stopped people talking to Him? Do you still talk to Him even though He already knows everything you could possibly say to Him? I bet you do. So why would you think His own mother wouldn’t?
“So what was the point of that statement?”
The point is she said what she wanted to say to ask for her Son’s help with the situation. It was the Third Day. You know what that means, right? It was also the Seventh Day. Do you know what that means? And, of course, you noticed that Mary’s comment in verse 5 (”Do whatever he tells you”), which were her last words recorded in the New Testament, are an echo of those said about Joseph in Genesis 41:55. Joseph provided bread for Egyptians and Hebrews alike. Jesus provided wine. It’s a prefigurement of the Eucharist.
