Gospel of JohnSteve Gregg
In this talk by Steve Gregg, he delves into the second chapter of the Gospel of John. He begins by giving some background on the characters mentioned in the story, including Simon Cephas, also known as Peter, and Mary, who seems to be in charge of the household. Gregg notes the veiled references to Jesus' resurrection on the third day, but he doesn't see any hints of it in this passage. He also comments on Jesus' provision of wine at the wedding feast, noting that it was likely grape juice and not alcoholic, as the early church had scruples about avoiding alcohol.
