Isaiah 62:1-5

English Standard Version

Zion's Coming Salvation

62 ^(A)For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
    and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,
^(B)until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
    and her salvation as a burning torch.
²^(C)The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
^(D)and you shall be called by a new name
    that the mouth of the Lord will give.
³You shall be ^(E)a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
⁴^(F)You shall no more be termed ^(G)Forsaken,^[a]
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,^[b]
^(H)but you shall be called ^(I)My Delight Is in Her,^[c]
    and your land Married;^[d]
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
⁵For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so ^(J)shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so ^(K)shall your God rejoice over you.

Prayer for Spiritual Strength

¹⁴For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, ¹⁵from whom ^(A)every family^[a] in heaven and on earth is named, ¹⁶that according to ^(B)the riches of his glory ^(C)he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit ^(D)in your inner being, ¹⁷^(E)so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ^(F)rooted and ^(G)grounded in love, ¹⁸may have strength to ^(H)comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and ^(I)height and depth, ¹⁹and to know the love of Christ ^(J)that surpasses knowledge, that ^(K)you may be filled with all ^(L)the fullness of God.

²⁰^(M)Now to ^(N)him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, ^(O)according to the power at work within us, ²¹^(P)to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The Wedding at Cana

2 On ^(A)the third day there was a wedding at ^(B)Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. ²Jesus also was invited to the wedding with ^(C)his disciples. ³When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” ⁴And Jesus said to her, ^(D)“Woman, ^(E)what does this have to do with me? ^(F)My hour has not yet come.” ⁵His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

⁶Now there were six stone water jars there ^(G)for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty ^(H)gallons.^[a] ⁷Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. ⁸And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. ⁹When the master of the feast tasted ^(I)the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom ¹⁰and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” ¹¹This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested ^(J)his glory. And ^(K)his disciples believed in him.
