      Chapter Two

      Jesus' First Miracle (2:1-12)

      ¹,²on the third day after arriving in Galilee, Jesus and his disciples were invited to a wedding that was taking place in the town of Cana, and Mary, Jesus' mother, was also there. ³During the course of the celebration the supply of wine ran out, and when Mary discovered this she went to inform Jesus.

      Son, they have run out of wine for the guests, can you do something? she pleaded.

      ⁴Dear Woman, what you have in mind is not what I have in mind. Hasn't the time come for me to act on my own?f

      ⁵At this his mother turned toward the servants who were standing by and said to them,

      If he wants your assistance don't hesitate to do just as he directs.

      ⁶It so happened that placed near by were six large earthen jars normally used for Jewish ceremonial washings.

      And they did as he said.

      ¹⁰How come you've been holding back your best wine until now? he said. Customarily the best wine is served first, and when people have drunk so much they can't tell the difference then they bring out the inferior stuff.

      ¹¹This miracle which Jesus performed in the town of Cana, Galilee was the first public demonstration of his divine power. And that was when his disciples really began to put their full trust in him.

      ¹²When the festivities were over Jesus left along with his mother, brothers and disciples, and they journeyed over to the town of Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee where they remained for several
