John 2:1-10

1On theG3588 thirdG5154 dayG2250 a weddingG1062 took placeG1096 atG1722 CanaG2580 in GalileeG1056. JesusG2424’ motherG3384 wasG1510 thereG1563, 2andG1161 JesusG2424 andG2532 HisG846 disciplesG3101 had also been invitedG2564G2532 toG1519 theG3588 weddingG1062. 3WhenG2532 the wineG3631 ran outG5302, JesusG2424’ motherG3384 saidG3004 toG4314 HimG846, “They haveG2192 no moreG3756 wineG3631.”

4“WomanG1135, whatG5101 is that to youG4771 andG2532 to MeG1473?” JesusG2424 repliedG3004. “MyG1473 hourG5610 has not yetG3768 comeG2240.”

5HisG846 motherG3384 said toG3004 theG3588 servantsG1249, “DoG4160 whateverG3739G5100G302 He tellsG3004 youG4771.”

6NowG1161 sixG1803 stoneG3035 water jarsG5201 had beenG1510 setG2749 thereG1563 forG2596 theG3588 JewishG2453 rites of purificationG2512. Each could holdG5562 fromG303 twenty to thirty gallonsG1417G2228G5140G3355.1 7JesusG2424 toldG3004 the servants, “FillG1072 theG3588 jarsG5201 with waterG5204.”

SoG2532 they filledG1072 themG846 toG2193 the brimG507.

8“NowG3568 draw some outG501,” He saidG3004, “andG2532 takeG5342 it to theG3588 master of the banquetG755.”

TheyG5342 did so, 9andG1161 theG3588 master of the banquetG755 tastedG1089 theG3588 waterG5204 that had been turned intoG1096 wineG3631. He did not knowG3756G1492 whereG4159 it was fromG1510, butG1161 theG3588 servantsG1249 whoG3588 had drawnG501 theG3588 waterG5204 knewG1492. ThenG3588 he calledG5455 theG3588 bridegroomG3566 aside 10andG2532 saidG3004, “EveryoneG3956 servesG5087 theG3588 fineG2570 wineG3631 firstG4412, and thenG2532 theG3588 cheapG1640 wine afterG3752 the guests are drunkG3184. But youG4771 have savedG5083 theG3588 fineG2570 wineG3631 untilG2193 nowG737!”
