John 2:11

This beginning. The first miracle was performed about one week after the call of the first disciples (see v. 1). The second recorded miracle was also performed at Cana, on the occasion of Jesus’ next visit about one year later (see ch. 4:43-54).

Miracles. Greek semeia, “signs” (see p. 208).

His glory. That is, the evidence of His divine character and power (see p. 209; see on ch. 1:14).

His disciples believed. This miracle provided the early disciples with the first visible evidence of divine power working through Christ, fortified them against the unbelief and antipathy of the Jewish leaders, and provided them with their first opportunity to testify to their new-found faith. Also, it honored Mary’s trust. In a practical way it expressed the sympathetic interest of Jesus in human happiness.
