John 2:1-12

Modern English Version

The Wedding at Cana

2 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there. ² Both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. ³ When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”

⁴ Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.”

⁵ His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

⁶ Six water pots made of stone were sitting there, used for ceremonial cleansing by the Jews, containing twenty to thirty gallons^[a] each.

⁷ Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.

⁸ Then He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the master of the feast.”

And they took it. ⁹ When the master of the feast tasted the water that had been turned into wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who drew the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom, ¹⁰ and he said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and after men have drunk freely, then the poor wine is served. But you have kept the good wine until now.”

¹¹ This, the first of His signs, Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

¹² After this He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples went down to Capernaum. They remained there a few days.
