Two days later. [Two days later = the third day.] This is two days later, measured from the calling of Philip (John 1:43). The "days" mentioned in the first two Chapter s of John make a week, and may form a contrast to the last week of Christ's public ministry (John 12:1). A wedding in the town of Cana. About twelve miles north of Nazareth in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there. John seems to never call the human mother of Jesus by name. Since Joseph is never mentioned after Jesus began his public ministry, he is thought to have died before this time. The way Mary "takes over," suggests she was related to the family.
