On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee,
and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus and his disciples
were also invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine ran short,
the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."
4 (And) Jesus said to her, "Woman, how does your concern
affect me? My hour has not yet come." 5 His mother
said to the servers, "Do whatever he tells you."
6 Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial
washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus
told them, "Fill the jars with water." So they
filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, "Draw
some out now and take it to the headwaiter."
So they took it. 9 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 10 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." 11 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. 12 After this, he and his mother, (his) brothers,
and his disciples went down to Capernaum and stayed there
only a few days. |
