Jesus and His followers were asked to come to the wedding.

His mother said to the helpers, "Do whatever He says."

The head man said to him, "Everyone puts out his best wine first. After people have had much to drink, he puts out the wine that is not so good. You have kept the good wine until now!"

This was the first powerful work Jesus did. It was done in Cana of Galilee where He showed His power. His followers put their trust in Him.

After this He went down to the city of Capernaum. His mother and brothers and followers went with Him. They stayed there a few days.

Then His followers remembered that it was written in the Holy Writings, "I am jealous for the honor of Your house."

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God's Son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever.

For God did not send His Son into the world to say it is guilty. He sent His Son so the world might be saved from the punishment of sin by Him.

Whoever puts his trust in His Son is not guilty. Whoever does not put his trust in Him is guilty already. It is because he does not put his trust in the name of the only Son of God.

Everyone who sins hates the Light. He stays away from the Light because his sin would be found out.

After this, Jesus and His followers came into the country of Judea. He stayed with them there and baptized people.

The man who has just been married has the bride. The friend of the man just married stands at his side and listens to him. He has joy when he hears the voice of the man just married. I am full of this joy.

Whoever receives His words proves that God is true.
