Plain sense of the text?

I suppose you would have the guests praising the quality of thr grape juice? “Jesus, this is some mighty fine grape juice!”

Plain sense of the text?

The very plain sense of the text is that for many good substantial reason that theGod-man would not reverse Himself on the doctrines proceeding out of His mouth, which (in the perfect tense of Mt. 4:4 and Lk. 4:4) It was written and stands forever that the (hu)man does not live by bread alone, but by every declaration out of The ZGod's mouth. (Which means Him in His Jehovah role). Examples:

"Wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging..."

"Look not on the wine when it is red in the cup."

"Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? ... They that tarry long at the wine ..."

Would He give drunk people more alcoholic wine (perhaps a liter apiece) to make them drunker? Would that gain Him glory? Would that be a notable phase of the fickleness of His Divinity? Would He use ceremonial ritual vessels to contain a variety of wine not permitted in the Temple? Was not fresh, new, delicious as of being freshly-pressed not be good enough for the crowd? Must He create it with the appearance of ageing to further prove His miracle-working powers?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the obstinacy of the reasoning and scoffing.

What is wrong with righteousness?
