Neville Goddard on John 2:6-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 2 in context

Scripture Focus

6And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

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

8And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor 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 servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

John 2:6-10

Biblical Context

Six stone waterpots stood for purification in Cana. Jesus commands filling them with water and drawing out wine, and the ruler of the feast notes the wine is better when it comes later.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you the six waterpots are states of consciousness seeking purification. The command to fill them with water is the inner decree to saturate your mind with awareness, to brim your entire being with the sense 'I AM.' When you are told to draw out and carry the wine to the governor, imagine presenting the fulfilled state into your outward scene—joy, grace, favor—as if it were already so. The governor’s tasting shows your outer circumstances judging what you have already assumed; the wine’s superior quality comes from persistence in belief beyond appearances. The servants who knew the source remind you the mechanism is inner, not outer: your imagination rightly exercised in faith turns purification into abundance. You are the feast’s bridegroom, the wine, and the reveling; nothing external creates it, everything hinges on your inner state. This miracle occurs in consciousness: align with fullness and the world bears witness to the best wine you already possess.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and envision six jars in your mind. Fill them to the brim with water—your purified, ready mind—and then feel the wine of grace already present, pouring into your life now.
