And on the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there, and both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding and there being a lack of wine Jesus' mother says to him,
“They haven't got any wine!”
Jesus says to her,
“What's that to me and to you woman? My hour hasn't come yet!”
His mother says to the servants,
“Do whatever he tells you!”
And there were standing there six stone water pots according to the purification of the Jews, each holding two or three measures.
Jesus says to them,
“Fill the water pots with water!”
And they filled them to the brim.
And he says to them,
“Draw out now and bring it to the master of the feast.”
And they brought it.
And when the master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine and did not know from where it is – but the servants who had drawn the water knew - the master of the feast calls the bridegroom and says to him,
“Every man sets out the good wine first, and when they’ve drunk plenty, the inferior; you've kept the good wine until now!”
This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
