John:2:1-11




nsb@John:2:1 @ There was a marriage in Cana of Galilee on the third day. The mother of Jesus was there.

nsb@John:2:2 @ Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the marriage feast.

nsb@John:2:3 @ They ran out of wine. So the mother of Jesus said to him: »They have no wine.«

nsb@John:2:4 @ Jesus said to her: »Woman what have I to do with you? My hour has not arrived.«

nsb@John:2:5 @ His mother told the servants to do whatever he says.

nsb@John:2:6 @ Six stone water jars were placed there to honor purification rules of the Jews. Each contained more than twenty gallons.

nsb@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to them: »Fill the jars with water.« They filled them to the brim.

nsb@John:2:8 @ »Draw some out,« he said, »and take it to the master of the feast.« So they drew some out.

nsb@John:2:9 @ The master of the feast did not know about the water turned into wine. He tasted it and called the bridegroom.

nsb@John:2:10 @ 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.«

nsb@John:2:11 @ This was the first miracle Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. It gave evidence of his glory and his disciples believed in him.
