1 There was a marriage in Cana of Galilee on the third day. The mother of Jesus was there.
2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the marriage feast.
3 They ran out of wine. So the mother of Jesus said to him: »They have no wine.«
4 Jesus said to her: »Woman what have I to do with you? My hour has not arrived.«
5 His mother told the servants to do whatever he says.
6 Six stone water jars were placed there to honor purification rules of the Jews. Each contained more than twenty gallons.
7 Jesus said to them: »Fill the jars with water.« They filled them to the brim.
8 »Draw some out,« he said, »and take it to the master of the feast.« So they drew some out.
9 The master of the feast did not know about the water turned into wine. He tasted it and called the bridegroom.
10 He said to him: »Every man sets out the good wine first. When the men have drunk freely the lower quality wine is served. You have kept the good wine until now.«
11 This was the first miracle Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. It gave evidence of his glory and his disciples believed in him.
