According to the Christian gospels, Jesus Christ turned water into wine - lots of wine.
Why didn't Jesus work with iron instead - and turn the iron into gold - lots of gold?
That way the wedding party could have purchased wine (lots of it) and Jesus would not have been betrayed by Judas (over thirty pieces of silver).
Jesus could have raised the wages of Judas, his accountant, and prevented being betrayed and all of Christianity would have turned out a little differently.
The gospels would be written differently. A different story would be told.
New Testament: Water into Wine
Alchemy: Lead into Gold

Its because Jesus was really an amanita muscaria mushroom, and those take a lot of water to grow. Water is also like God's semen in ancient religion (Mother Earth/ Father Sky; Gaia/Uranus), and the mushroom is God's boner manifest on earth. You eat it, and you'll get closer to the rain maker and his infinite wisdom about the universe. Read The Sacred Mushroom sometime. This sounds obscene, but John Allegro, who wrote the book wasn't just anybody. He was fluent in Aramaic and an expert in scripture, really one of the few people who are qualified to find the true meaning of scripture, and when he did give his opinion on what it philologically meant, nobody wanted to hear it.
