John 2:8 Context
6And there were set there sixe water pots of stone, after the maner of the purifying of the Iewes, conteining two or three firkins apeece. 7Iesus saith vnto them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them vp to the brimme. 8And hee saith vnto them, Drawe out now, and beare vnto the gouernor of the feast. And they bare it. 9When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the seruants which drew the water knew) the gouernor of the feast called the bridegrome, 10And saith vnto him, Euery man at the beginning doth set foorth good wine, and when men haue well drunke, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine vntill now.

People's Bible Notes for John 2:8
Joh 2:8 Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. Augustine says: ``He that had made wine that day in those six water-pots does the same every year in the vines. For as what the servants put in the water-pots was changed into wine by the operation of the Lord, just so what the clouds pour forth is changed into wine by the operation of the same law.''
