Wedding at Cana

 

 

 

His First Miracle

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited with His disciples to the wedding. And when the wine was all gone, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no more wine.” Jesus said to her, “Dear woman, what is the to you and to Me? What have we in common? Leave it to Me. My time or hour to act is not come yet.”

His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

Now there were six waterpots of stone standing there, as the Jewish custom of purification or ceremonial washing demanded, holding twenty to thirty gallons apiece.
Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
Then He said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the manager of the feast - to the one presiding, the superintendent of the banquet.” So they took him some. And when the manager tasted the water just now turned to wind, not knowing where it came from, though the servants that had drawn the water knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him. “Everyone else serves his best wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then he serves that which is not so good. But you have kept back the good wine until now!”

This first of His signs or miracles and wonderworks, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee and manifested His glory - by it He displayed His greatness and His power openly. And, His disciples believed in Him - adhered to, trusted in and relied on Him.
