2. Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.

Eye Witness Acounts
An unknown witness- "It was so odd. All of the people including me that witnessed it was in total shock. We were staring at one each other as if saying what just happened. The people around us were dancing and oblivious to the situation. The servants that were helping Jesus gather the water were all very nervous and unsteady, because they did not know what Jesus was about to do.
