ヨハネの福音書 2:11 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - John 2:1-11

Jesus and nature. In recording this incident, the evangelist tells his story with beautiful simplicity, and as if scarcely conscious that it contains what is marvellous and supernatural. It doubtless seemed to him so natural that Jesus should have acted as he did, that he wrote without drawing any especial attention to what in the narrative was evidently miraculous. John had himself seen so many instances of the superhuman authority of his Master, that he could not think of that mighty and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 2:1-11

The marriage feast at Cana a pledge of the marriage supper of the Lamb. This first "sign" of our Lord's public ministry may be taken as an emblem and an earnest of a vaster gathering, a more sacred festivity, an eternal fellowship. Observe the elements of heavenly bliss here anticipated upon earth. I. DIVINE ESPOUSALS . Then shall it be proclaimed, "The marriage of the Lamb is come." II. CONGENIAL SOCIETY . The mother and brethren of the Lord, the disciples, the happy pair,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 2:1-12

(1) The first sign, the beginning of signs, Mastery over the old creation. Sign of love and power. The description of the preceding narrative, given in John 2:11 , is the true key to it. It is impressive on several accounts. Christ had not yet given any "sign" of the invisible and eternal glory which the evangelist in his prologue had claimed for him. He had not in his own person "manifested" the unique majesty of his will, nor revealed the direction in which the power he wielded would... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 2:11

Jesus made this beginning of signs in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory. The beginning, the earliest of the tokens which he gave of his higher nature and lofty claims and faculties. The word σημεῖα , corresponding with the Hebrew תוֹ ) , is generally, in the Acts as well as in the LXX ., associated with τέρατα , or "portents;" when it occurs in the synoptists it is translated "signs." The word by itself does not connote miraculous energies, but any event, natural or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 2:11

"This beginning of his signs." All that a man does may be regarded as significant of his character and aims in life. How far more obviously and instructively is this the case with the actions of the Son of God! Yet, though whatever Jesus did may be regarded thus, there are certain works of his which the evangelist notes especially as being signs. Of these works, the deed performed at Cana is remarked to be the first in point of time. I. WHAT THESE SIGNS WERE IN THEMSELVES ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 2:11

"Jesus … manifested forth his glory." Does it seem to the reader of this simple narrative that this language is somewhat strained—is pitched rather too high? An obscure village, a homely festival, a peasants' party;—are these suggestive of, harmonious with, this great word "glory"? Ah! let us not be deceived by outward, appearances; but rather remember that, as the world judges, there was no glory in Jesus any more than in his surroundings, his associates. Be it ours to form a wiser,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 2:11

"His disciples believed on him." There is singular simplicity and beauty in this statement, coming where it does at the close of this narrative. I. OF WHOM IS THIS BELIEF ASSENTED ? Not, as might perhaps have been expected, of strangers, who witnessed the mighty work and sign, but of five men here named "the disciples" of Jesus. II. WHAT WAS THEIR PREPARATION FOR THIS BELIEF ? Undoubtedly their admiration and affection for Jesus, who had sought them or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 2:11

The miracle of Cana. Notice— I. THE MIRACLE IN RELATION TO JESUS HIMSELF . The miracle, with its attending circumstances, was: 1 . A manifestation of his glory. Every act and every word of his manifested the glory of his character, but his miracles were spiritual and natural signs of the Divinity of his Person and the distinguishing feature of his character. His miracles were purely voluntary. Still, he pleased to perform them in order to manifest his glory—the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 2:11

The beginning of miracles. I. THE OCCASION . It is possible, of course, to lay too much stress on the circumstances and nature of the first sign Jesus gave respecting his own character and mission; but it is better to go to the extreme in this direction that. to pretend that this beginning has no significance at all. Nothing would have been easier than to let the wedding feast pass over without exercise of the special power of Jesus. What necessity could there be for guests having wine... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 2:11

This beginning of miracles - This his first public miracle. This is declared by the sacred writer to be a “miracle” - that is, an exertion of divine power, producing a change of the substance of water into wine, which no human power could do.Manifested forth - Showed; exhibited.His glory - His power, and proper character as the Messiah; showed that he had divine power, and that God had certainly commissioned him. This is shown to be a real miracle by the following considerations:Real water was... read more
