John 2:3
And when they wanted wine. The Revised Version says, "When the wine
failed". For some cause, perhaps from a large number of guests than was
expected, the wine gave out. In the East, where hospitality is so
lavish, this would cause great mortification.
The mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. The
solicitude of Mary could hardly be expected from one not a relative,
but why she appeal to Jesus? In part, because it was natural speak to
him in her perplexity, and in part, likewise, because she hoped he
would meet the difficulty.
