How did mary the mother of Jesus knew that jesus could turn water in wine.

John 2 : 3 - 5

"And when they ran out of wine, the mother of jesus said to him, they have no wine.

Jesus said to her, woman what does your concern have to do with me? my hour has not yet come.

His mother said to the servants, whatever he says to you, do it".

Because she knew who he was. The angel told her, go figure.

The angel didn't tell her jesus could do miracle, did he?

look at mary's last statement, His mother said to the servants,
"whatever he says to you, do it".

What do u make of that last statement?

I think poor Mary was very much relieved that wine has finished before his drunkard son drank himself into a stupor and start misbehaving. She went and told him that alcohol has finished so that he would go away and not bring embarrassment once more to the family. Instead he replied that his hour has not yet come. His drinking hour has not yet arrived! Happy hour. Free booze hour.
See how he speaks to his mother. Who in his right mind talks to his own mother like this: woman what does your concern have to do with me?
Mary was taken aback at the retort and to avoid a scene, she asked the servant to do whatever her son asks because she knows that it is chaos whenever things don't go his way.
What Mary didn't know was that his son came prepared, with his own booze.

This is from a twisted mind, go study that place with open mind dear.

I said the angel told her who Jesus was. And from the prophecies of old you'd see that this Saviour promised is indeed great. Read Luke 1
To explain further,
Mary also knew He could perform miracles because he actually did.
Living Translation
John2:4
In response to Mary's request, He said, "I can't help you now, it isn't yet my time for miracles."
In vs. 11
"This miracle at Cana in Galilee was Jesus' first public demonstration of his heaven-sent power. And his disciples believed that he really was the Messiah."
That means he had bee performing miracles before that day.

Jesus has been performing miracles in secrets which mary witnessed and believed.

Are you okay with that?

This likely is a good opinion than she knew from prophecy or being told by angels.

The last statement of mary hints that she had missed some miracles simply because she didn't pay attention to doing what he had told her to do.

What if Jesus was actually a drunk and the bible was silent on that. He was drunk when he got caught that he became sober on the cross. Remember he shouted ...Father why have you forsaken me!!!!!!!!!!!

That's correct

How did you know it‘s correct?

jdilight:

l agree with you.

Jesus had been performing miracles before probably in secret before this public demonstration of miracle.

my point is if the above is TRUE, then he followed the basic principle of success " practice makes perfect".

FOOL FINDER: Guy you know fit speak English ni.It is know not knew.

lol, yes l no fit speak ooo.

by the way am reporting a past event.

To be honest I don't any christian should be concerned with how mary knew that Jesus could perform miracles. But it will do you a lot of good to remember that this was the mother of Jesus and she had known him for 30 years. She conceived him without meeting with a man, she witnessed him argiung with the pharisees at the age of twelve and she also witnessed so many other things that were spectacular in the life of Jesus, so u shouldn't be suprised that she knew Jesus Christ was the messiah and could perform miracles

The point is Jesus never did anything out side lay down principles as many have been made to believe. He followed principles before anything could work in his favor. lf any follow the same principles Jesus followed he will get the same results jesus got. Angels visiting the fellows mum or not.

Bros until you question the known (show concern) , you cannot know the unknown.

And what are the principles?

And what are the principles?

It took Jesus 30 good years to perfect, how will you believe me if l tell you?

The principle separate the son of God from the child of God.

Are you a christian? If u are, which church do you attend?

The first thing people ask you when anything religion challenge their long held religious believe is,"which church do you attend"?

Am a christian but l wouldn't tell you my church.

Churches make you a child of God but not a son of God. Sons of God are made by practice and effort by the would be sons, not God.
