SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–12: Jesus changed water into wine

In this section Jesus, his disciples, and his mother went to a wedding. The guests there drank all the wine that the host had provided. Jesus’ mother told Jesus that there was no more wine, and then she told the servants to obey Jesus.

Jesus told the servants to fill the water jars with water. When they did that, he told them to serve some to the man in charge of the wedding. The man tasted it and said that the bridegroom had saved the best wine until the end of the wedding. This miracle convinced Jesus’ disciples to believe in him.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus did a miracle at a wedding

The wedding at Cana

Paragraph 2:6–10

This is the climax (the most important part) of the story. The servants filled six large water jars with water. When they poured some out, it had become very good wine.

2:8a

“Now draw some out,” He said,

“Now draw some out,” He said: The Greek word that the BSB translates as draw…out means to get, take, or pour some liquid out of a container. For example:

Now take some water (CEV)

2:8b

“and take it to the master of the banquet.”

and take it to the master of the banquet: The pronoun it refers to the water. The servants were to pour some of the water into a cup and give it to the chief steward.

the master of the banquet: The Greek word that the BSB translates as master of the banquet refers to the man in charge of the food for the wedding. He may have been a guest, a friend, or a servant like a butler. We do not know. The implied information is that this man would need to taste the drink so he could tell his opinion about it.

Here are other ways to translate this Greek word:

the chief steward (NRSV)

the person in charge (GW)

the man in charge of the feast (CEV)

2:8c

They did so,

In Greek this phrase begins with a conjunction that introduces the servants’ response to Jesus’ command. Some English versions use a connector like “so.” Connect the events in a natural way in your language.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˱he˲_˓is˒_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῖς & οἱ δὲ ἤνεγκαν

˱to˲_them & they (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί λέγει αὐτοῖς Ἀντλήσατε νῦν καί φέρετε τῷ ἀρχιτρικλίνῳ οἱ Δέ ἤνεγκαν)

Here, them and they refer to the servants at the wedding. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [to the servants … And the servants carried it]

τῷ ἀρχιτρικλίνῳ

˱to˲_the ˓the˒_headwaiter

The term head waiter refers to the person in charge of the servants who served the food and drink at meals and feasts.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:1–10:42 Jesus illustrated his identity and work through the institutions and festivals of Judaism (see 2:1; 5:1).
