1
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
2 And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.
2
and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3 And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.
3
When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come.
4
“Woman,why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do.
5
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each.
6
Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
7
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry [it] to the feast-master. And they carried [it].
8
Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”They did so,
9 But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,
9
and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
10 and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when [men] have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now.
10
and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
11
What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
