John 2:1-11 - The Wedding At Cana: Water Turned Into Wine

¹ Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there. ² Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding. ³ And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him: "They have no wine left."

⁴ "What do you want with me?" answered Jesus. "My time has not come yet."

⁵ His mother said to the servants: "Do whatever he tells you."

⁶ There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of 'purification,' each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

⁷ Jesus said to the servants: "Fill the water-jars with water;" ⁸ And, when they had filled them to the brim, he added: "Now take some out, and carry it to the Master of the Feast." The servants did so.

⁹ And, when the Master of the Feast had tasted the water which had now become wine, not knowing where it had come from--although the servants who had taken out the water knew-- ¹⁰ He called the bridegroom and said to him: "Every one puts good wine on the table first, and inferior wine afterwards, when his guests have drunk freely; but you have kept back the good wine till now!"

¹¹ This, the first sign of his mission, Jesus gave at Cana in Galilee, and by it revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
