Matthew Poole and continuators on John 2:7

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water-pots with water . And they filled them up to the brim m.

Either the Water was defiled by some Persons washing in it, or else the Vessels were not full. Our Lord commands them to be filled, the Water-pots, not Wine vessels, with Water, [illegible: 1 word] Water; he commands them all to be filled by the Servants, who could attest the miracle, that there was nothing in the Vessels but pure Water. Here was no new Creature to be produced; he doth not therefore command the production of Wine out of nothing; but only the transformation of a Creature already existent, into a Creature of another kind. The Servants dispute not his commands, nor ask any reason of his command, but yeild that ready and absolute Obedience which we all of us owe to Divine Precepts. They fill them, and so full, that they could hold no more.
