Jesus Turns Water Into Wine

A Wonderful Wedding in Cana

Once upon a time in a small village called Cana, there was a grand wedding. Everyone in the village was invited, bustling with joy and celebration. Among the guests were Jesus, His mother Mary, and Jesus' disciples. This wedding was special because it was about to become one of Jesus' most remembered miracles.

Mary noticed something quite concerning during the celebration. The hosts had run out of wine, which in those days was a big problem! It could have embarrassed the newlywed couple very much, for wine was an important part of the festivities. Mary knew her son had the power to help, so she turned to Jesus.

When the Wine Ran Out

"Son, they have no more wine," Mary said to Jesus.

Jesus replied, "Dear woman, that’s not our problem. My time has not yet come."

Even though Jesus responded this way, Mary confidently told the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

Nearby stood six stone jars, each big enough to hold twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus instructed the servants to fill these jars with water. Without question, they filled them to the brim.

Miracle at the Master's Command

Then, Jesus told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."

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. Everyone was amazed by the quality of the wine; it was even better than what was served before!

The master of the banquet called the bridegroom over and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first, then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now!"

This was the first of the signs through which Jesus revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
