In John 2 we immediately find the famous story of Jesus turning water into wine. Following a really interesting exchange between Jesus and his Mother he turns six jars of water into 180 gallons of wine... give or take a few... Worth noting is that this wine was the best that had been served at the wedding... meaning Jesus knows a thing of two about making good wine... and that He is able to do truly miraculous things beyond our abilities.
Also worth noting is that John presents this as Jesus first miracle... It seems like for John, that this was the beginning of Jesus revealing his true nature to the disciples through miraculous signs such as this one.
It also begs a few questions:
1. When did Jesus know he was God?
2. When did Mary figure it out and what was she hoping Jesus would do?
3. Why does Jesus seem to tell her he is not going to do anything, but then do it anyway?
