WK Translation Notes

a
The word "gleukous" is used properly and ordinarily in classic Greek to denote the sweet unfermented juice of the grape. Nevertheless, it is certain, from compared with verse 15, that this is not its New Testament sense. That a word may bear a meaning here different from what it has in classic authors is confessed. However, the context shows that a wine which was familiarly known to possess intoxicating properties, is meant. The sense is perfectly simple to those who believe in the Word of God.
