Jesus saith unto them
To the servants that waited at the feast,
fill the water pots with water.
The Ethiopic version adds, "to their brims", as they did. Christ
chose the water pots, and not the vessel, or vessels, or bottles,
now empty, out of which they had drank their wine; that it might
not be said that there was any left therein, which gave colour
and flavour to the water: and he ordered them to be filled with
water by the servants, that they might take notice, and be
witnesses, that that, and nothing else, was put into them; and up
to the brims, so that they could not he capable of having any
other liquor infused into them:
and they filled them up to the brim;
strictly observing the orders of Christ, and the instructions of
his mother.
