As everybody remembers, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior turn water to wine at the wedding feast of Cana. However I am confused by something in the passage.
1.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.“Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time 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.[a]
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.This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.
Now that ere done reviewing that. Why does our Lord state that its not his time yet? What exactly does he mean when he tells his mother this and why doesn’t she listen to him?
