The Wedding at Cana

1And on athe third day there was a wedding in bCana of Galilee, and the cmother of Jesus was there;

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

3And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.”

4And Jesus *said to her, “aWoman, 1bwhat do I have to do with you? cMy hour has not yet come.”

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

6Now there were six stone water jars set there afor the Jewish custom of purification, containing 1two or three measures each.

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

8And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it to him.

9Now when the headwaiter tasted the water awhich had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the bridegroom,

10and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people ahave 1drunk freely, then the inferior wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.”

11Jesus did this in Cana of aGalilee as the beginning of His 1bsigns, and manifested His cglory, and His disciples believed in Him.
