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

Bible Comments

This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory. Nothing in the least like this is said of the miracles of either prophets or apostles, nor could be said without manifest blasphemy of any mere creature. Being said here, then, by our Evangelist of the very first miracle of Christ, it is as if he had said, 'This was but the first of a series of such manifestations of the glory of Christ.'

And his disciples believed on him - that is, were confirmed in the faith which they had reposed in Him before they had any miraculous attestation of what He was.
