CHAPTER 2

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

“Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”

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

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

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

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

They did so, 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 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.”

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. HE THUS REVEALED HIS GLORY, AND HIS DISCIPLES PUT THEIR FAITH IN HIM.

Good morning! Favorites, of course, the “fenster”; the mosaic at #26 and #30 by Morgan Weistling, he makes us feel like an eyewitness to this miraculous moment.

Water to Wine: The Chosen’s Wedding at Cana

Another reason I like Weistling’s #30 is its accuracy: the text specifies that the jars were 20-30 gallons, i.e., not liftable when full.

Yep! I began rewatching all The Chosen's episodes yesterday to prepare for the long-awaited new season. Hooray!

Good Morning Dan, and greetings to each of you.
Really love the glass, and the mosaic indeed; but greatly favor #30 Weistling.

I have a question: does anyone think that female artists may depict Bible scenes differently than male artists? Maybe with more bright colors, or generally with greater sensitivity?

Thank You Dan =:^)

The only female artist who appears regularly in these threads is Artemisia Gentileschi. I have not noticed an appreciable difference, but that's just me.

Whatever Jesus serves is correct. He is the Sommelier of Sommeliers.

Flurries this weekend predicted.

In my entire life, I have seen snow fall just twice: up at Big Bear when I was a kid, and a decade ago at our home. Twice was plenty for me....talk about a SoCal boy!

Great article! Thanks, Alba. He came to Jesus through CC Downey, just as did my dear friend. God is allowed to work there....

RE: your link about artist Morgan Weistling;

“... wasn’t something he took seriously until 1988 when he met a girl...”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

sigh... yes. Thus his downfall began...

=:^)

Just teasing you etabeta! Thank You Indeed; what a great story! Look how the Master changes us; we give up something, and He blesses us in return, in ways that advance His mission!

Big Bear is wonderful. Living in Menifee, I used to bundle my daughters and their best friends, neighbor sisters, and head up to BB for a day of snowmen and sledding.
