Now there were six stone water jars there, for the ceremonial purification practiced by the Jews, each large enough to hold twenty or thirty gallons.

Jesus said to them, "Fill these jars with water."

And they did so. When the master of the feast tasted the water which had now turned into wine, without knowing where it had come from??hough the servants who had drawn the water knew??10 he called the bridegroom and said to him, "Everyone else serves his good wine first, and his poorer wine after people have drunk deeply, but you have kept back your good wine till now!"

Jesus answered, "I tell you, if a man does not owe his birth to water and spirit, he cannot get into the Kingdom of God.

John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, for there was plenty of water there, and people came there and were baptized.

A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."

Jesus answered, "If you knew what God has to give, and who it is that said to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

She said to him, "You have nothing to draw water with, sir, and the well is deep. Where can you get your living water?

Jesus answered, "Anyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,

but anyone who drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty, but the water that I will give him will become a spring of water within him, bubbling up for eternal life."

The woman said to him, "Give me this water, sir, so that I may never be thirsty, nor have to come all this way to draw water."

So he came back to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water into wine. There was at Capernaum one of the king's officials whose son was sick.

The sick man answered, "I have nobody, sir, to put me into the pool when the water stirs, but while I am getting down someone else steps in ahead of me."

If anyone believes in me, streams of living water, as the Scripture says, shall flow forth from his heart."

They answered, "You were born in utter sin, and are you trying to teach us?" So they excluded him from the synagogue.

rose from the table, took off his outer clothing, and fastened a towel about his waist.

Then he poured water into the basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, wiping them with the towel that was about his waist.

but one of the soldiers thrust a lance into his side, and blood and water immediately flowed out.
