Three days later, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.

Jesus was also invited to the wedding with his disciples.

When all the wine for the celebration was served, and they had run out, Jesus’ mother told him:

“They have no wine.”

Jesus answered:

“Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.”

His mother said to the servants:

“Do whatever he tells you.”

Nearby were six stone water jars set there for ritual washing as practiced by the Jews; each jar could hold twenty or thirty gallons.

Jesus said to the servants:

“Fill the jars with water.”

And they filled them to the brim.

Then Jesus said:

“Now draw some out and take it to the chief steward.”

So they did.

The steward tasted the water that had turned into wine without knowing where it came from; only the servants who had drawn the water knew. Immediately he called the bridegroom

and said,

“Everyone serves the best wine first, and once people have had enough, he serves the ordinary stuff. But you have kept the best wine for last.”

Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.
