Cana."It is worthy of remark," says Dr. E. D. Clarke, who visited Cana a few years ago, "that, walking among the ruins of a church, we saw large massy pots, answering the description given of the ancient vessels of the country; not preserved, but lying about, disregarded by the present inhabitants, as antiquities with whose original use they were unacquainted. From their appearance, and the number of them, it was quite evident that a practice of keeping water in large pots, each holding from eighteen to twenty-seven gallons, was once common in the country."
(Compare the account of the water pots.
ch. 2:6.)
John 2:1‑11• 1And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.
 2And Jesus also was invited and his disciples unto the marriage.
 3And when the wine fell short, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
 4Jesus saith to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour is not yet come.
 5His mother saith to the servants, Whatever he shall say to you, do.
 6Now there were six waterpots of stone set there according to the purification of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.
 7Jesus saith to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
 8And he saith to them, Draw now and carry to the master of the feast. And they carried.
 9But when the master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine (and he knew not whence it was, but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast calleth the bridegroom
 10and saith to him, Every man at first setteth on the good wine, and when they have drunk freely, then the worse; thou hast kept the good wine until now.
