“And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.”
This, the first of his signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him — the Evangelist's interpretation frames the sign's significance: it manifests Jesus' glory (doxa) and generates belief (pisteuō) in the disciples. The term "signs" (sēmeia) becomes crucial to John's theology: Jesus' acts are not mere miracles but revelatory events pointing to his identity. The disciples' belief develops incrementally, strengthened by witnessing.
