Does anyone know the story of the Wedding at Cana?

Question

At whose request did Jesus perform His first miracle?

Does this not portray her intercession?

I think He was not intending to start yet. His mother interceded for the family. It was a womans concern and a motherly one she felt for the brides and bridegrooms family. To run out of wine would have been an insult. She interceded on their behalf. What son could refuse his mother?

Answer 1

Of course, it is the Blessed Virgin who directs Jesus to turn water into wine. As his mother, she was certainly within her rights to do so.

As a good Jew, Jesus certainly kept the commandments, and honored both his mother and his father.

Jesus' baptism in the Jordan was the moment he received the "official" anointing for his redemptive mission. Until then, it could be truly said that "his time had not yet come."

The term "woman" was always used with a great deal of respect, and was not a term of derision, as many seem to think.

Any disrespect shown to his mother would have been a sin ... something totally impossible for the son of God.

In scripture, we find the term "woman" being used in several key passages, all pointing to only one woman, the woman of destiny, the Blessed Virgin Mary:

Gen 3:15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

Joh 2:1 And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
Joh 2:2 And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.
Joh 2:3 And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine.
Joh 2:4 And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? My hour is not yet come.
Joh 2:5 His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.

Joh 19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.
Joh 19:26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.
Joh 19:27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.

Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple. And there were lightnings and voices and an earthquake and great hail.
Rev 12:1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

All of these passages refer to the Blessed Virgin, and speak volumes about God's plan for her existence, both on earth and in heaven.

Unfortunately, those who showed up 1500 years late, after the world had already been largely converted for Christ, and who insist on following only their own cleverly contrived, but false traditions, may never see the truth of it.

Answer 2

at the request of his mother. i've never really understood what Jesus meant when he said to his mom that his time had not yet come.

it was almost a rebuke to Mary. but Mary went ahead and told the servants to do whatever Jesus told them to.

And He had them bring several large containers full of water and then he prayed over them and the water was changed to wine.

And when the steward tasted the wine he called the Bridegroom and told him that most people served the best wine first---because people tended to get drunk and not be too discerning later on in the wedding feast. Then they would bring out the cheap wine.

But the steward told the Bridegroom that he had been different, he had saved the best wine for the last. This was the wine that Jesus had made.

Debra---what did Jesus mean, in your opinion, when he told Mary "My time has not yet come."

Answer 3

The wedding at Cana is one of the stories that help make Christ a son of Zeus and promotes alcoholism for which the Bible commands stoning to death in Deuteronomy.

Christ is said to be greater than John and John is said to never have touched wine or strong drink and no prophet would condone alcoholism.

Please note that the wine was said to be most potent and better than what was served before, which had everyone already DRUNK.

Read The Age Of Reason and get the better picture of the Bible.

Answer 4

Yes, I love Mary's intercession. I pray the Rosary alot and the insight she gives is awesome. I was a little disappointed this morning as I waited for Mass because we always pray the Rosary before Mass but, there was to be a baby baptized this morning so abunch of people were in the back of the Church making alot of noise so anyway it goofed up the Rosary--I just hate that when people show no respect.

Answer 5

Jesus was at the wedding party with His mother, Mary, when she informed Him that they were out of wine. To which he answered, "What has that to do with me?" Still, He told the servants to fill the basins with water, and they did as they were told. When the water was poured out it had been turned into delicious wine. This was Jesus' first miracle. It was then said, "You have saved the best for last" because the wine they have served earlier was not as good as the wine which Jesus brought forth.

Answer 6

But where is the account of her interceding for anyone after her death? Where do you find Paul asking for her to intercede? Where do you even find instruction for anyone to request intercession from a person who has already died.

Answer 7

the respond is 4, of direction. the tale would not point out who become getting married, considering that's not the concentration of the tale. it quite is the tale of the 1st miracle that Jesus ever executed, and it in simple terms got here approximately to ensue at this wedding ceremony in Cana, to which Jesus, his mom, and his destiny disciples have been invited. in accordance to the tale, the hosts ran out of wine, so at his mom's urging, Jesus became jars of water into wine. The emphasis is on the reality that it become the 1st time he did something unbelievable, and that it made his disciples believe in him.

Answer 8

1. Jesus changes water to wine.

2. Mary's

Answer 9

Mary's! Yes, I believe it does portray her intercession. She asked something of Christ on behalf of others, and he obeyed. He will not deny a request of his mother. Thus is the concept of her intercession.

Answer 10

First miracle was when God Spirit was born in man form Jesus:)
