Nemesio: "I can't believe that you would lie about the contents of the Bible."

Why would, then, the comment from the guests be:
Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine
after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good
wine until now.
OBVIOUSLY, it had alcohol in it. I can't believe that you would lie
about the contents of the Bible.

Originally posted by ivanhoeDoes it matter where the translation comes from? Every translation makes the same point: the wedding guests were other than sober, as was the custom at such events. Indeed, the wisest of men generally get smashed at their own weddings even today.
I'm still waiting for Nemesio's answer.

All right.
The Greek word in question is 'methusthosin' which means 'they might
be drunk.' That is: 'Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the
inferior wine after the guests they might be drunk.'
(the appostive object 'they' is removed in translation because, in English
it doesn't make sense.)
In other words: Jesus turned the water in to alcoholic wine. Of
this there can be no doubt.
RBHILL is, as usual, trying to impose his bizarre and perverse interpretation
of the Bible as if it makes any sense. Jesus's first miracle was to provide
alcoholic wine for the guests at the wedding at Cana. His last meal
necessarily entailed wine (as per the Last Supper discourses in the Synoptics).
