When they were full, He told them to take some to the master of the banquet (v. 8). When he tasted it, he said it was the best wine they had yet (vv. 9-10). The fact that this was the first miracle proves as false the stories that Jesus had performed miracles as a child.

The only ones who knew what had happened were Mary, the disciples and the servants.
Application
Just like Dr. Ironside said, the Lord is performing miracles every day in my life. I just need to recognize them and praise Him.
