Christ » Appears, after his resurrection » Brethren of
Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And are not His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
While He was still talking to the crowds, it happened that His mother and brothers stood outside, asking to speak to Him.
Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called for Him.
After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
So His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] may also see the works that You do.
For not even His brothers believed in Him.
Have we not the right to take along with us a believing wife, as do the rest of the apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas (Peter)?
But I did not see any other apostle except James, the [half] brother of the Lord.
Jesus Christ » History of » Miracle at cana of galilee
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited with His disciples to the wedding. And when the wine was all gone, the mother of Jesus said to Him, They have no more wine! read more.
Jesus said to her, [ Dear] woman, what is that to you and to Me? [What do we have in common? Leave it to Me.] My time (hour to act) has not yet come. His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do it. Now there were six waterpots of stone standing there, as the Jewish custom of purification (ceremonial washing) demanded, holding twenty to thirty gallons apiece. Jesus said to them, Fill the waterpots with water. So they filled them up to the brim. Then He said to them, Draw some out now and take it to the manager of the feast [to the one presiding, the superintendent of the banquet]. So they took him some. And when the manager tasted the water just now turned into wine, not knowing where it came from -- "though the servants who had drawn the water knew -- "he called the bridegroom And said to him, Everyone else serves his best wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then he serves that which is not so good; but you have kept back the good wine until now! This, the first of His signs (miracles, wonderworks), Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory [by it He displayed His greatness and His power openly], and His disciples believed in Him [adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Him]. After that He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.
