John 2:1-10

1On 1the thirdG5154 dayG2250 there was a weddingG1062 in 2CanaG2580 of GalileeG1056, and the 3motherG3384 of JesusG2424 was thereG1563;

2and bothG2532 JesusG2424 and His 4disciplesG3101 were invitedG2564 to the weddingG1062.

3When the wineG3631 ranG5302 out, the motherG3384 of JesusG2424 saidG3004 to Him, “They haveG2192 noG3756 wineG3631.”

4And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “5WomanG1135, 67whatG5101 does that have to do with us? 8My hourG5610 hasG2240 not yetG3768 comeG2240.”

5His 9motherG3384 saidG3004 to the servantsG1249, “WhateverG3739G5100G302 He saysG3004 to you, doG4160 it.”

6NowG1161 there were sixG1803 stoneG3035 waterpotsG5201 setG2749 thereG1563 10for the JewishG2453 custom of purificationG2512, containingG5562 11twentyG1417 orG2228 thirtyG5140 gallonsG3355 eachG303.

7JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “FillG1072 the waterpotsG5201 with waterG5204.” SoG2532 they filledG1072 them up to the brimG507.

8And He saidG3004 to them, “DrawG501 some out nowG3568 and takeG5342 it to the 12headwaiterG755.” SoG1161 they tookG5342 it to him.

9WhenG5613 the headwaiterG755 tastedG1089 the waterG5204 13which had becomeG1096 wineG3631, and did not knowG3609 whereG4159 it cameG1510 from (but the servantsG1249 who had drawnG501 the waterG5204 knewG3609), the headwaiterG755 calledG5455 the bridegroomG3566,

10and saidG3004 to him, “EveryG3956 manG444 servesG5087 the goodG2570 wineG3631 firstG4413, and whenG3752 the people 14have 15drunkG3184 freelyG3184, then he serves the poorerG1640 wine; but you have keptG5083 the goodG2570 wineG3631 untilG2193 nowG737.”
