John 2:1-12

1On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’s mother was there,

2and Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding as well.

3When the wine ran out, Jesus’s mother told him, “They don’t have any wine.”

4“What has this concern of yours to do with me, woman?” Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.”

5“Do whatever he tells you,” his mother told the servants.

6Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification. Each contained twenty or thirty gallons.

7“Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim.

8Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the headwaiter.” And they did.

9When the headwaiter tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from — though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom

10and told him, “Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people are drunk, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.”

11Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

12After this, he went down to Capernaum, together with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.
