Maybe it was wine, but Jesus turned it into grape juice.

Maybe it was wine, but Jesus turned it into grape juice.

The account is pretty straightforward. Especially the words of the master of the banquet who had not known the origin of the wine dipped out of the six stone ceremonial washing jars (each holding between 20 and 30 gallons) which had been filled to the brim with water:

"Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."

This wasn't referring to either water or unfermented grape juice.
