Jesus goes to a wedding - John 2

There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, helping. And Jesus and his friends were invited guests. But the wine ran out before the wedding feast was over. Mary went and told Jesus. 'Do whatever he tells you', she said to the servants. There were six enormous water jars standing near, so that people could wash before the meal, as the Jewish law said. But now they were empty. 'Fill them up', Jesus said. And the servants filled them to the brim. 'Now pour some water out and take it to the man in charge of the feast. The servants looked at one another in dismay. But they did as Jesus said. When the man in charge tasted it, he said to the bridegroom: 'Everyone serves the best wine first and keeps the ordinary for later. But you have kept the best until now.' The water had changed into wine! This was the first of many wonderful things that Jesus did. And when his friends saw it, they began to believe the things he said.
