Neville Goddard on John 2:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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 2:9-10

Biblical Context

Water becomes wine at the feast; the ruler tastes it without knowing its source, while the servants know, and the bridegroom is praised for keeping the good wine until now.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the wedding feast is the theater of your inner life. The water is your present sense of lack or limitation, the wine is your realized state, the blessing you are capable of living. The ruler of the feast represents the outer mind that tastes by appearances and forgets the source lies within. The servants who drew the water—your imagination and inner faculties—know from where the wine comes and witness the transformation. When the governor declares that the good wine was kept until now, he confirms a law: the inner supply is not determined by outward time but by inner recognition. You have kept the good wine until now because the consciousness that can endure a feast of grace has slept within you, waiting for the moment you affirm the I AM as the source. The miracle is not an event separate from you but a revelation of your own inner state. When you align with the assumption that the wine is yours now, you trigger the transformation: perception shifts, circumstances follow, and abundance becomes visible in your life.
