And when they wanted wine, х hustereesantos (G5302) oinou (G3631)] - 'the wine having failed;' perhaps, as Bengel suggests, from more being present than had been arranged for,
The mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine - evidently expecting some display of His glory, and hinting that now was His time. Not that she had witnessed any displays of His miraculous power before this at home, as Calvin thinks. The Evangelist, indeed, by calling this the "beginning of His miracles" (John 2:11), seems to say the reverse; nor can we suppose He would make such needless displays before the time. But she had gathered probably enough from Him regarding the miraculous credentials which He was to furnish of His divine commission, to infer that He would on this occasion make a beginning; and with a natural impatience for the revelation to others of what she knew Him to be, and a certain womanly eagerness-mixed possibly with feelings of a less commendable kind-she brings the state of matters before Him.
