 The Wedding at Cana
G 2 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother
of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the
wedding. 3 When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They

r have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you
and to me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants,
“Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Now standing there were six stone water jars

a for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7 
Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the
brim. 8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the chief

c
steward.” So they took it. 9 When the steward tasted the water that had
become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants
who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom 10 and
said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine

e after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until
now.” 11 Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed
his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
