Significance: Running out of wine symbolizes barrenness of first-century Judaism. Jesus' abundant provision (six large jars filled "to the brim") fulfills prophetic vision of messianic joy and abundance. "To the brim" emphasizes completeness. Reveals Jesus' glory as at Sinai/tabernacle/temple (cf. Exodus 33:22; Ezekiel 10:4).
