Neville Goddard on John 2:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

2And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

John 2:1-4

Biblical Context

In John 2:1-4, a wedding takes place in Cana where Jesus and the disciples are invited; a lack of wine is noted, and Jesus responds that his hour has not yet come.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine Cana as the mind’s workshop, a wedding marking the inner union of your faculties. The mother of Jesus stands as the voice of your deeper self, pointing to a lack—they have no wine. Jesus answers, 'mine hour is not yet come,' a statement that outward appearances seem to govern the moment. Yet the hour you live from is the hour you choose to dwell in the I AM, the timeless awareness that you are the reality. The wine is not a miracle granted from without; it is joy arising when you revise your sense of lack by assuming that the feast is already prepared within. This scene invites you to see that the wedding of Jesus and his disciples represents the integration of your spiritual powers, and the flowing wine is the abundance that follows when you identify with your true I AM. Persisting in that consciousness, the outer world reflects it as living plenty. The true miracle is your shift of state—from lack to the felt sense of fulfilled being.

Practice This Now

Assume the feast is already finished and you are the host of abundance now. Feel the wine flow from your I AM as you walk through your day with inner joy.
