But you were the one who knew that the reason for the wedding-wine miracle was recorded in Scripture. I had forgotten all about John 2:11.

Thanks for that reminder.

I find that familiar passages are easy to gloss over, missing what is there.

Sometimes we need to slow down and examine what is actually there, who is there, what is said and done, what comes before and after, how it fits into the rubbric of the book, etc. study to show ourselves approved as a *workman* ...

I’ve often reread a passage I’ve read more than a dozen times and discover something new appeared!

In this regard, in Genesis when Eve eats the apple, it is easy to miss that Adam was standing next to her.

The 'reason' was NOT recorded.

Scripture explains the RESULT (or one result; anyway).
