On the third day there was a
wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his
disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine gave out, the
mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman,
what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother
said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now standing there were six
stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or
thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled
them up to the brim. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the
chief steward.” So they took it. 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 and said to him,
“Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the
guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did
this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and
his disciples believed in him.
