The Wedding at Cana

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

Now there were six stone water jars there (G)for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty (H)gallons.[a] Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. When 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 10 and 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.” 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested (J)his glory. And (K)his disciples believed in him.

(F)To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of (G)wisdom, and to another the utterance of (H)knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another (I)faith by the same Spirit, to another (J)gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another (K)the working of miracles, to another (L)prophecy, to another (M)the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another (N)various kinds of tongues, to another (O)the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, (P)who apportions to each one individually (Q)as he wills.
