On ^(a)the third day there was a wedding in ^(b)Cana of Galilee, and the ^(c)mother of Jesus was there;

and both Jesus and His ^(d)disciples were invited to the wedding.

When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, "They have no wine."

And Jesus *said to her, "^(e)Woman, ^[a](f)what does that have to do with us? ^(g)My hour has not yet come."

His ^(h)mother *said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."

Now there were six stone waterpots set there ⁽ⁱ⁾for the Jewish custom of purification, containing ^[b]twenty or thirty gallons each.

Jesus *said to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." So they filled them up to the brim.

And He *said to them, "Draw some out now and take it to the ^[c]headwaiter." So they took it to him.

When the headwaiter tasted the water ^(j)which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the bridegroom,

and *said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people ^(k)have ^[d]drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."

This beginning of His ^[e](l)signs Jesus did in Cana of ^(m)Galilee, and manifested His ⁽ⁿ⁾glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
