1 And the third day there was a mariage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Iesus was there.
2 And both Iesus was called, and his disciples, to the mariage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Iesus saith vnto him, They haue no wine.
4 Iesus saith vnto her, Woman, what haue I to doe with thee? mine houre is not yet come.
5 His mother saith vnto þe seruants, Whatsoeuer he saith vnto you, doe it.
7 Iesus saith vnto them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them vp to the brimme.
8 And hee saith vnto them, Drawe out now, and beare vnto the gouernor of the feast. And they bare it.
13 ¶ And the Iewes Passeouer was at hand, & Iesus went vp to Hierusalem
17 And his disciples remembred that it was written, The zeale of thine house hath eaten me vp.
19 Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Destroy this temple, and in three dayes I will raise it vp.
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
24 But Iesus did not commit himselfe vnto them, because he knew al men,
25 And needed not that any should testifie of man: for hee knew what was in man.

I feel these scriptures should answer your question.
Mark 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Matthew 24:7 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Luke 17:26-30 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

I wonder why, at the end of this Chapter,Jesus did not commit Himself to them that they would testify about Him? To whom was He reluctant? Are the hearts of all men the same today as they were back then?

@André,
On verse 10 :
1. This verse gives some real insight on the plan of salvation that God has set up through his son Jesus Christ;
2. The wine is new wine which represents the blood of the New Testament from the law to grace (Mathew 26:28,29; Mark 14:24,25), the wine is grape juice (Genesis 40:11) or non alcoholic new wine or you have to remove 1 Peter 5:8 from the scriptures;
3. At gatherings of importance the best wines are served first and as time goes on and people taste buds become less reliable, then the host breaks out the not as good wine;
4. God always serves the good stuff for last just like salvation, the salvation we have here on earth is good, but the when we get to heaven, it's the best for last;
5. The first shall be last and the last shall be first.

1. The miracle at Cana is the first miracle performed by Jesus (verse 11) and the miracle was performed mostly for his disciples and servants to witness, this why no one else knew where the new wine came from;
2. This whole miracle was not only done for those disciples and servants present, but for future disciples and servants to see a physical to understand a spiritual truth;
3. The marriage represents the marriage that will take place in heaven after the judgment seat of Christ during the tribulation age after the rapture of the body of Christ;
4. The disciples and servants represent born again believers that will be the only ones allowed at the marriage to Jesus Christ;
5. The wine represents the blood of Jesus that was sacrificed for our sins and that is why he told his mother that his time had not yet come (verse 4), and Jesus says fill them to the brim;
6. The marriage will take place on the third day which tells us when the marriage in heaven will take place (2 Peter 3:8);
7. We now have entered into the third day, and knowing our time is at hand.

This is a very powerful passage today, for we are now mandated to fill the empty hearts with LOVE and ENCOURAGEMENT of those who are weary and tired, so will we see miracles happen in our lives.

Turning water into good wine - Jesus can turn every bad person into a good one if we ask him.
AWODIJI OLANREWAJU's John Chapter 2 comment on 1/08/2013, 3:39am...
Considering the fact that Mary the mother of Jesus ,Jesus brethren and Christ's diciples were at this wedding the wedding looks like the wedding of a close relative of the family to which Jesus was born into.The fact that Jesus and his disciples
honoured this invitation is a lesson to belivers and ministers of the gospel. Therefore as ministers of the gospel we must create time out of our busy schedule to honour invitation to ceremonies such as marriage , naming ceremonies etc.
The bible says there was set there six water pots and those were the six water pots that Jesus was going to make use of.As a believer wherever you are, you be sensitive because what will bring about a great breakthrough in our lives are usually where we are without us knowing at times.For examples Isaac had lived for long in Gerar, before he knew he was to sow in the land.It was after he sowed in the land where he had been for a long time that he became a prosperous man.(READ GEN 26)h\
When you consider that Jesus the Saviour of the world turned water into wine does that give us license to drink alcoholic wine as believers, certainly NO.Infact, when the governor of the feast tasted the water turned to wine he called the bridgroom and said you have kept the good wine till now.That means Jesus actually turned water into a good wine not to a bad wine.I believe it is called a good wine because it is not an intoxicating type of wine but a non alcoholic wine.So nobody should use John 2 as an excuse for drinking alcoholic wine.
Another lesson from the reaction of Mary when they needed wine reveals a lot :
1.It reveals that she is a good family woman who does not want the ceremony of her neighbour to encounter failure of any sorth
2.It shows her faith in Jesus for she came to him to tell him the need in the feast.As believers we should also know how to take our request to God in prayer
After the feast, Jesus and his mother, brethren and his disciples left the feast together to capernaum.This reveals that even though Jesus is the Saviour and anointed one from heaven yet he did not abandon his family and as such they attend ceremonies together and even travel together.Today, some may abandon their family members because they are born again.As believers, we should not abandon our unbelieving family members but we are to relate with Christlike love and wisdom.
