‘The Chosen’ Shows Jesus Turning Water Into Wine—In Season 1
Christians for centuries have debated the topic of consuming alcohol. Many who favor moderate consumption refer to Jesus’ first miracle—when he turned water into wine—to support their argument.
In “The Chosen” Season 1, Episode 5, “The Wedding Gift,” Jesus performs his first miracle—turning water into wine. The wedding banquet master shouted his amazement and appreciation for the wine served.
“At every wedding I’ve ever overseen, they serve the best wine first. And then when the people have drunk freely, much later in the feast, they serve the poorer wine, the cheap stuff,” explained the master. “Because by then, who is going to notice? Am I right?”
Then the master showed his amazement at the stark difference at this wedding feast. “But you, you have chosen now to serve the best wine I have ever tasted,” he said. “Let us thank them for this unnecessary but honorable gesture.”
