Jesus Turns Water into Wine
John 2:1-11 RSV
1: On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the
mother of Jesus was there;
2: Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples.
3: When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no
wine."
4: And Jesus said to her, "O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour
has not yet come."
5: His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
6: Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of
purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7: Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them
up to the brim.
8: He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the
feast." So they took it.
9: When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and
did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water
knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom
10: and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first; and when men
have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until
now."
11: This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and
manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
