John 2:1-11

1On the third day there was a wedding at Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

2and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

3When the wine was all gone, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4Jesus said to her, “[Dear] woman, what is that to you and to Me? My time [to act and to be revealed] has not yet come.”

5His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

6Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification (ceremonial washing), containing twenty or thirty gallons each.

7Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.

8Then He said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter [of the banquet].” So they took it to him.

9And when the headwaiter tasted the water which had turned into wine, not knowing where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew) he called the bridegroom,

10and said to him, “Everyone else serves his best wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then he serves that which is not so good; but you have kept back the good wine until now.”

11This, the first of His signs (attesting miracles), Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His glory [displaying His deity and His great power openly], and His disciples believed [confidently] in Him [as the Messiah—they adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Him].
