So? That is exactly the episode where when “men have well drunk” Jesus gave them more wine; that is, made them more drunk than they already were.

The poster was suggesting that Noah committed a sin because he got drunk. That is the context of why I bring the pericope at Cana.

No; the verse reads as follows:

And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.

Your little snippet (your fellow Catholics call that Cherrypicking) implies something the WHOLE sentence doesn't: that folks were DRUNK at the wedding.


If you want your D-R translation; you can keep your D-R translation.
