John Trapp on John 2:11

Verſe 11. This beginning, &c.] For as for his miraculous diſputation with the Doctours, and faſting fourty dayes; theſe were rather miracles wrought upon Chriſt, then by him. He works his firſt miracle for confirmation of God the Fathers firſt Ordinance.

His Diſciples beleeved on him.] So they did before, but now more. So 1 John 5.13. The Apoſtle writes to them that beleeved on the name of the Son of God, that they might beleeve on the name of the Son of God. 1. e. that they might be confirmed, continued, and increaſed in it. Faith is not like Jonahs Gourd, that grew up in a night; or like a bullet in a mould, that is made in a moment, &c. But as the ſound of the trumpet grew louder and louder; and as they went up to Salomons throne, by ſteps and ſtairs; ſo men proceed from faith to faith, till they come to full aſſurance.
