Did Jesus and his apostles drink wine?

Answer 1

Yes. Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding.

Answer 2

Yes. Many people back then drank wine at weddings and other celebrations. But they weren't to get drunk. Drunkeness is a sin. Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding at Cana. They drank wine at His Last Supper. It was the drink for celebrations, not a daily drink. It was expensive.

Answer 3

I don't know why people get hung up on these things. Yes - wine was the drink of that day. They only had water and wine. Also they did not have refrigerators to keep it cold - so they had fermented drink - wine. This does not give the Christian the right to drink - especially in excess. Of course Christians can drink in moderation and that is not sinning - but I believe (my belief only) that Christians should stay away from strong drink - the devil is in it. Blessings to you.

Answer 4

Yes they did, at the Last Supper Jesus took the Cup filled with wine and said take this all of you and drink from it this is the cup of my blood

Answer 5

Yes. This doesn't imply that it's okay to get smashed by wine because consider characters of the Bible that did and had bad stuff happen to them: Lot, Laban, etc. You can have a glass socially once in a while, just don't get plastered.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Red wines are also healthy for you, especially if you are a meat eater, as they were in to lamb, a very fatty meat. Wine clears the arteries and lowers the risk of vascular disease.

Answer 8

Yes, Jesus and his apostles drank wine.

In fact, wine is one of the two staples required to properly celebrate the only holiday Christ actually requires Christians to commemorate. It is, of course, the Memorial of Christ's death, sometimes called "the Last Supper" or "the Lord's Evening Meal".

(1 Corinthians 11:23-25, NWT) The Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf... Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 25 He did likewise respecting the cup.. Keep doing this... in remembrance of me.”

(1 Cor 11:24, 25, NEB) "Do this as a memorial of me.”


Christ Jesus himself personally celebrated and explained the significance of that Last Supper to his followers (see Matthew 26:26-29). Christians who commemorate the Last Supper have done so on the same Jewish calendar date as Jesus did, Nisan 14, which generally falls between late March and mid-April. Interestingly, Christians in the centuries immediately after Christ's impalement were sometimes called "Quartodecimans" which literally mean "Fourteen-ers", because the early Christians were well-known for this true holy day.

How would Jesus feel to learn that the holiday he commanded was widely ignored, while his so-called followers chose to celebrate a pagan false god and their own traditions of men? We don't need to wonder.

(Matthew 15:6-9) You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you when he said, 8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.’”

Answer 9

Yes he did and yes I do. Drunkeness is the sin, not the responsible drinking of the beverage itself.
