>So, what happened at Cana?<

Catholicism takes one verse, one verse out of context, and builds a whole theology around it. It is the absolute worst form of Biblical interpretation there is. Too many false doctrines have been built upon OVT and the catholic account of a super Mary is one of them.

The purpose of this account is recorded in John 2:11.

This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

It's all about Jesus. It is not about Mary.

Notice whose name is not mentioned in this passage from John 2:1-11....Mary.

She is referred to as:

the mother of Jesus 2x

His mother 2x

her 1x

Woman 1x

The first two, the mother of Jesus and His mother put the attention back on Jesus.

After verse 5 her involvement in this passage is over.

On the other hand, Jesus is mentioned by name six times in this passage.

He is referenced another seven times as either He, His or My.

This passage is ALL about Him. He is at the beginning of the account, the middle and the end. He is the focus of the passage. Mary, the disciples, and the wedding are just the backdrop to the story.

You must like the KJV; for you’ve landed on 1611.
