John 2:1-12

New Matthew Bible

Christ turns the water into wine, and drives the buyers and sellers out of the temple.

2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana, a village of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. ² And Jesus was invited also, and his disciples, to the marriage. ³ And when the wine failed, Jesus’ mother said to him, They have no wine. ⁴ Jesus said to her, Woman, what have I to do with you? My hour is not yet come. ⁵ And his mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.

⁶ And there were standing there six waterpots of stone, for the purification rites of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. ⁷ And Jesus said to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. ⁸ And he said to them, Draw some out now, and bring it to the master of the feast. And they brought it.

⁹ When the master of the feast tasted the water that was turned to wine, and did not know where it was from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), he called the bridegroom ¹⁰ and said to him, All men at the beginning set out good wine, and when people have drunk, then that which is worse. But you have kept back the good wine until now.

¹¹ This beginning of miracles Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and showed his glory, and his disciples believed on him. ¹² After that, he descended into Capernaum with his mother and his brethren and his disciples, but continued not many days there.
