Turning Water into Wine

2:1 Now on the third day there was a wedding at Cana1 in Galilee.2 Jesus’ mother3 was there, 2:2 and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.4 2:3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine left.”5 2:4 Jesus replied,6 “Woman,7 why are you saying this to me?8 My time9 has not yet come.” 2:5 His mother told the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.”10

2:6 Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washing,11 each holding twenty or thirty gallons.12 2:7 Jesus told the servants,13 “Fill the water jars with water.” So they filled them up to the very top. 2:8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the head steward,”14 and they did. 2:9 When15 the head steward tasted the water that had been turned to wine, not knowing where it came from16 (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), he17 called the bridegroom 2:10 and said to him, “Everyone18 serves the good wine first, and then the cheaper19 wine when the guests20 are drunk. You have kept the good wine until now!” 2:11 Jesus did this as the first of his miraculous signs,21 in Cana22 of Galilee. In this way he revealed23 his glory, and his disciples believed in him.24
