	Summary: The Significance of the Wedding at Cana of Galilee (No. 50z)
		Christ and his disciples came to the wedding in Cana, where a covenant was taken between the bride (the Church) and the groom (Christ).
		As the wedding was drawing to a close, depicting the close of this age, only a small portion was drawn out for the Master of Ceremonies.
		Verse 9: God has planned the wedding of the Lamb, and the small amount of wine presented to the Master of the wedding, symbolises Christ as the first of the firstfruits, and the elect (as firstfruits) drawn from the world and presented to God, at the end of this age.

	Ruler Of The Feast (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		According to Ecclesiasticus (32:1) it was customary to appoint a "master of the ceremonies" from among the invited guests.
		It was his duty to determine the places of the guests, to see that the ordinary rules of etiquette were observed, etc., and generally to supervise the arrangements.
		The Revised Version margin "steward" is possible if the "governor of the feast" meant the "head waiter" (Merx renders "head servant of the feast"), and not one of the guests appointed for the purpose.
