John 2:1 Commentary and Bible Study

It is some twenty miles plus from Bethabara up to Nazareth, and it is thought that the Cana in mind was probably another six or seven miles further on, so that in the circumstances and the heat of those days, that would be two days walk. This would therefore be the third day after the call of Philip and Nathanael.‘And the mother of Jesus was there.’ Mary was there either because a relation or someone close to her was getting married at Cana, or as some think because she had moved there, perhaps following the death of Joseph.
