ヨハネの福音書 2:11 JCB

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 2:11

John 2:11. This beginning of miracles did Jesus, &c. Grotius supposes the meaning to be, that this was the first miracle wrought at Cana, another being afterward mentioned, John 4:46. But it is plain there must have been a long series of miracles wrought here to justify such a manner of speaking, which doth not at all appear to have been the case. The sense of the expression seems much rather to be, that this was the first of Christ’s public miracles; for probably the necessities of the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 2:1-12

19. Marriage feast in Cana (John 2:1-12)At a marriage feast in Cana attended by Jesus and some relatives and friends, the host was embarrassed when he learnt that the supply of wine had run out. Mary told Jesus, apparently thinking he could work a miracle to provide extra wine. In this way he could display his messianic power and so convince people who he was. Jesus reminded her that he could not perform miracles just to please relatives and friends. This was not a time for a public... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 2:11

This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.Far from being presented as a mere parable, Jesus' action in changing water into wine is here denominated the first of his mighty miracles, a positive manifestation of the Lord's glory, and the event which issued in the faith of his disciples. As the first of those mighty deeds which proved him to be God in the flesh, this sign of Jesus has a breadth of meaning and depth of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 2:11

John 2:11. And manifested forth his glory:— That is, demonstrated his power and character to the conviction of the disciples, and in some sense and degree to that of all the guests. This being the first miracle that they had ever seen Jesus perform, it tended not a little to the confirmation of their faith, and made his fame spread over all the neighbouring country. Moses confirmed his mission by producing water from a rock; but our Lord, by changing water into wine: and by that change he... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 2:11

11. manifested forth his glory—Nothing in the least like this is said of the miracles of prophet or apostle, nor could without manifest blasphemy be said of any mere creature. Observe, (1) At a marriage Christ made His first public appearance in any company, and at a marriage He wrought His first miracle—the noblest sanction that could be given to that God-given institution. (2) As the miracle did not make bad good, but good better, so Christianity only redeems, sanctifies, and ennobles the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 2:1-11

1. Jesus’ first sign: changing water to wine 2:1-11The first miracle that Jesus performed, in His public ministry and in John’s Gospel, was semi-public. Apparently only Jesus’ disciples, the servants present, and Jesus’ mother understood what had happened. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 2:1-12

B. The early Galilean ministry 2:1-12John’s account of the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry highlights the fact that Jesus replaced what was old with something new (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:17). New wine replaced old water. Later a clean temple replaced a dirty one, a new birth replaced an old birth, living (flowing) water replaced well water, and new worship replaced old worship. [Note: C. H. Dodd, The Interpretation of the Fourth Gospel, p. 297.] The larger underlying theme continues to be the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 2:11

In conclusion, John mentioned that this miracle was a sign. It was a miracle that had significance. [Note: See Mark R. Saucy, "Miracles and Jesus’ Proclamation of the Kingdom of God," Bibliotheca Sacra 153:611 (July-September 1996):281-307.] Its significance appears to be that it showed that Jesus had the same power to create that God demonstrated in the Creation. Thus it pointed to Jesus being the Creator God who could transform things from one condition into another (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:17).... read more
