On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in
Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his
disciples were also invited to the wedding.
When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said
to him, "They have no wine." (And) Jesus said to her,
"Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet
come." His mother said to the servers, "Do whatever he
tells you." Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish
ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.
Jesus told them, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled
them to the brim.
Then he told them, "Draw some out now and
take it to the headwaiter." So they took it. And when the
headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing
where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water
knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him,
"Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk
freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until
now."
Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs
in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began
to believe in him. (John
2:1-11)
