John 2:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ In that place there were six stone water jars that the Jews used in their washing ceremony [^Ca Jewish ritual before eating, before worshiping in the Temple, and at other special times]. Each jar held about twenty or thirty gallons [^CGreek: two or three metretai; each about nine gallons or forty liters].

⁷ Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled the jars to the ·top [brim].

⁸ Then he said to them, “Now take some out and give it to the ·master of the feast [chief steward; headwaiter].”

So they took the water to the master.
