Weddings, Water, And Mom

This is the quiz my sophomores took yesterday in our Gospels classes. I made several points as we graded. One was that it was a tremendous feat to come up with roughly 180 gallons of water in a short time to make wine considering Israel was a dry country. I asked how long that would take in our school which probably has thirty water outlets. I also asked if it is more important to obey the wishes of your mother instead of the Lord, which you can make a case happened here. I further asked how many of the kids' mothers ignored what they said, which it appears Mary did with Jesus. And we made the point that weddings, then as now, are a very big deal in society. The answers are below. Good luck!
