John 2:1 (New Living Translation) The next day there was a
wedding celebration in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’
mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples were also
invited to the celebration. 3 The wine supply ran out during the
festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time
has not yet come.”
5 But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used for Jewish
ceremonial washing. Each could hold twenty to thirty gallons. 7
Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars
had been filled, 8 he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the
master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his
instructions.
9 When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was
now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of
course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over. 10 “A
host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when
everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive
wine. But you have kept the best until now!”
11 This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time
Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
