GospelJn
2:1-11
There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus
was there. Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. When the
wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And
Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not
yet come.” His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now
there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding
twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told the them, “Fill the jars with water.” So
they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take
it to the headwaiter.” So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the
water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from — although the
servers who had drawn the water knew —, the headwaiter called the bridegroom and
said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk
freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did
this as the beginning of his signs at Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and
his disciples began to believe in him.
