John 2:1-8

1Two days after that, there was a marriage party. It was in the town of Cana, in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there.

2People had asked Jesus and his disciples to come to the party too.

3When people had drunk all the wine, Jesus' mother said to him, ‘They have no more wine.’

4Jesus replied, ‘Woman, why do you tell me this? It is not my time yet.’

5His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you to do.’

6There were six big pots there. People had used stone to make them. Each pot could contain about 100 litres of water. The water was there so that the Jews could wash themselves in the way that their special rules taught.

7Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the pots with water.’ So they filled the pots to the top.

8Then he said, ‘Now take some of the water from the pots and give it to the master of the party.’ So they did that.
