This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

9. τὸ ὑδ. οἶν. γεγ. The water now become wine. This seems to imply that all had become wine: there is nothing to distinguish what was now wine from what still remained water. It is idle to ask at what precise moment or in what precise way the water became wine: an instantaneous change seems to be implied. Γεύεσθαι c. acc. occurs Heb 6:5 and in LXX.: very rare in classical Greek.
