Jesus of Nazareth's First Miracle: Helping Partygoers Maintain
Their Buzzes On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in
Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; Jesus also was invited to the
marriage, with his disciples. When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said
to him, They have no wine." And Jesus said to her, "O woman, what
have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to
the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." Now six stone jars were
standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or
thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And
they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, "Now draw some out,
and take it to the steward of the feast." So they took it. 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 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." This, the first of his signs,
Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples
believed in him. -
