That’s a Lot of Wine!
In John 2, Jesus creates an abundance of wine during a wedding. There are six jars that hold 20-30 gallons each (that’s about a half barrel each!).
So, let’s do the math…
20x6=120 gallons (or 30x6=180 gallons)
A standard wine bottle holds 750 milliliters.
One gal=3,785.41 ml.
So, 120 gal = 454,249.2 ml (or 180 gal = 681,373.8 ml).
And 454,249.2 ml/750=605.66 bottles (or 908.5 bottles).
So, on the low side, that’s at least 605 bottles (or even 908 bottles)!
This was not Jesus simply providing enough wine for one champagne toast! This is enough wine to get the whole town into serious trouble!
