Exegesis of John 2:1-11 The Source of the Water Turned to Wine

1. Verse 8 states: "Draw some out" (Greek: "antlasate nun" ). The premise is one draws water out of a well. Therefore, the source of water turned wine brought to the head steward is the well, not the waterpots. Contrast the commentaries which insist that the water is from the pots. 2. Compare other New Testament and Greek sources which the same words are used to "draw water" from a well (not "dip") out of pots). 3. Examine the holy or spiritual significance of the number 7 (six waterpots plus the well), in addition to John's 7 signs, 7 day creation week, etc. 4. Reiterate the amazement of the well as the source due to the serving size limited by 6 waterpots which would run out sooner compared to the well providing significantly more servings for a crowd of 200 people for the length of the celebration feast (1-2 weeks). 5. Why would the wedding serve water/wine from dirty pots used for ceremonial hand washing and cleaning? The pots would still be available for them to utilize for hand washing for the remainder of the feast.
