John 2:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ Then he said to them, “Now take some out and give it to the ·master of the feast [chief steward; headwaiter].”

So they took the water to the master. ⁹ When he tasted it, the water had become wine. He did not know where the wine came from, but the servants who had brought the water knew. The ·master of the wedding [chief steward; headwaiter] called the bridegroom ¹⁰ and said to him, “People always serve the ·best [expensive] wine first. Later, after the guests have been drinking awhile [^Cand are less discriminating], they serve the ·cheaper [inferior] wine. But you have saved the ·best [expensive] wine till now.”
