At the entrance of the dwelling there stood six stone water-pots. Jesus directed the servants to fill these pots with water. They readily obeyed this singular order. The wine was wanted for immediate use, and Jesus commanded, “Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.” The servants beheld with astonishment, that instead of the crystal water with which they had just filled those vessels, there flowed forth wine. Neither the ruler of the feast nor the guests generally were aware that the supply of wine had failed; so, upon testing it, the ruler was astonished, for it was superior to any wine he had ever before drank, and vastly different from that which had been served at the commencement of the feast. {2SP 103.2}

Ved indgangen til huset stod seks vandkar af sten. Jesus befalede tjenerne at fylde disse med vand. De adlød villig dette besynderlige forlangende. Man var netop i dette øjeblik knibe for vinen. Jesus siger til dem: "øs nu og bær det til skafferen" Tjenerne så med forbavselse, at vandkarrene var fulde af vin i stedet for det krystalklare vand, hvormed de netop havde fyldt dem. Hverken skafferen eller gæsterne vidste, at vinforrådet var sluppet op. Da de smagte vinen, blev skafferen forbavset; thi den var bedre end nogen vin, han nogensinde havde drukket og meget forskellig fra den, man havde frembåret ved festens begyndelse.
