John 2:11

This was the first of the signs [miracles confirming God's character] that Jesus performed in Cana in Galilee, and he revealed his glory (greatness, power), and his disciples believed in him.
[The Greek word for sign, semeion, focuses more on the symbolism behind the miracle than on the miracle itself:
Wine is a symbol of joy and celebration – the gospel is the good news! The first sign Moses performs is turning water into blood, see Ex. 7:20. Jesus' first sign is to turn water into wine. It is also no coincidence that six stone jars were used, as these were used for ritual purification according to the law. The number six represents something that is imperfect and incomplete. Jesus perfects and fulfills the law, see Matt. 5:17 Six hundred liters is a lot even for a large party, which reflects God's abundant character. The wedding host, who may symbolize the scribes and Pharisees, neglected his duty. He should have known that the wine was running out. None of the main characters at the party saw the miracle. Those who saw it and grew in faith were only the servants, the disciples, and Jesus' mother – those who were insignificant in the eyes of the world. In practical terms, Jesus' character also becomes clear. He rescues the family from a difficult situation. He also involves the servants in the miracle, but they do not have to do anything difficult, just pour out water.]
