JOHN, Chapter 2

2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”

They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “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.”

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.

[Red Badger]

I hope he had a Beer and Wine License..............

[left that other site]

Good Morning!

(((Love the Stained Glass!)))

[Hebrews 11:6]

He rendered unto Caesar what was Caesar’s....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Of course you do! Here, I am giving them to you. Go ahead and take them—I don’t mind, since they’re going to a good home.

[Red Badger]

And he needed the proper EPA, FDA and CDC approvals before making that wine..................

[Hebrews 11:6]

After your audit, please share your results with us.

[Alas Babylon!]

I wish more Fundamentalists here in the South realize that alcohol isn’t some nasty beverage brought forth by the Devil.

joke—

How do you keep a Southern Baptist from drinking all your beer while fishing?

Answer - Take TWO Southern Baptists fishing.

[Red Badger]

I’m sure if you drop a few shekels into the Roman inspector’s toga, all things will be found quite in order...............

[Red Badger]

Southern Baptists hate alcohol.

Why?

Because it makes people want to dance................

[Ezekiel]

53 is great. To me it looks the most real.

The version posted says:

3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

Looks like an assumption regarding the word "more".

KJV:

John 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

I know later on there's the remark about saving the best for last, but the verse is telling "as is" because there's an ancient Jewish tradition about wine and secrets. Lots of articles involving Purim explain it if anyone is interested, but basically when "the wine goes in, the secret comes out". Wine --> secret.

There is also the numeric connection that wine (yayin) = sod (secret) = 70.

Plus yayin rhymes with ayin (the letter that is 70, and meaning "eye" and also fountain/spring). Seen in the place named "Ein" Gedi, for example.

So putting that all togther, when they wanted wine, they had no wine... no secrets.

That's funny because of the secret about the water becoming wine..

9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

It's a simple meaning, because folks at the beginning speak about good secrets, but when they get drunk, those which are worse. Who knows what unmentionable information a drunk might blurt out.

Here is it that the best kept secret has been saved for very last.

Won't people be surprised. :)

Merci Beaucoup! :-)

The beauty of stained glass windows! One better than the other.

#60, Ambrosius Benson - the similarity with Gerard David’s painting of yesterday is striking. Not surprising as Benson was a pupil of David and was greatly influenced by him. He has created some wonderful portraits and religious scenes.

#62 - I like this very much. I like its spirituality and the purity of form. A very different style from a 19th c. artist.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The devil can, will, and does corrupt anything and everything.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Sorry, Alba, I’ve already given all of them to Mary-Lou. FCFS: First Come, First Served.

[wbarmy]

Are you sure you didn’t mean #52?

#53 is very Sicilian or old Italian with the lute and the headpiece on the lute player, but #52 is really what that part of Israel would probably have looked like and the clothing is much more era specific.

Except that JPEGS can be given away more than once, without any loss in Quality. LOL! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Won't people be surprised. :)

Jesus' first public miracle, the first of very, very many--every one surprising, by definition, of course.

[freefdny]

Maerten de Voss number 63 was done for the Tavern Keepers Guild of Antwerp with many members of the Guild in the painting. I get a kick out of the whole patrons having themselves put in the painting thing.
