Miracle #1 – Water into Wine – John 2:1-11

What were some expectations of the guests?

• To have fun, food, and wine
• Having a place to sleep at night
• (The shortage of the best wine was a symbol of Jewish lack of face at that time in history.)
• The actual marriage vows were taken on the 2^nd or 3^rd day of the week-long event.

Describe Mary and Jesus’s relationship.

• Mother  Son // Mary  Savior. She knew He was God’s Son.
• Joseph taught Jesus good Jewish behavior.
• He was an obedient son She knew what she was asking for and what she witnessed in this miracle.
• Mary wasn’t quite the typical Jewish mother. She knew things.
• Why did Mary ask Jesus to do the miracle? She might have overheard the women talking about the lack of wine. 
• She only talked to Jesus once because, as a Jewish man, He would not take orders from a female in public. But, she did not give Him orders. She told the servants what to do.

How do each of the listed people feel before/after the miracle.
