João 2

1 ON the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.

3 When the wine ran short, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."

4 Jesus said to her, "What have you to do with my work, woman? My hour has not yet come."

5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he tells you, do it."

6 There were standing there six stone water jars in accordance with the Jewish custom of purification, holding about twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." They filled them to the brim.

8 Then he said to them, "Dip out now and carry it to the Master of the feast." They carried it,

9 and when the Master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine, not knowing where it came from \'97 though the servants who had dipped out the water knew \'97 he called to the bridegroom

10 and said to him, "Every man sets on first the fine wine, and when they have drunk freely he sets on the poorer. You have kept the fine wine till now."

11 This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana in Galilee and displayed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
