And on the third day
there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there and Jesus
also was invited, along with His disciples, to the wedding. And when
the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine." And
Jesus said to her, "Woman, what do I have to do with you? My hour has not yet
come." His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."
Now there were six stone water pots set there for the Jewish custom of purification,
containing twenty or thirty gallons each. Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots
with water." And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, "Draw
some out now, and take it to the headwaiter." And they took it to him. When the
headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from,
(but the servants who had drawn the water knew) he called the bridegroom, and he said to
him, "every man serves the good wine first, and when men have drunk freely, then that
which is poor; but you have kept the good wine until now". This beginning of miracles
Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him. (John 2:1-11)
This account talks about Jesus the Messiah's first miracle and
how He transformed mere water into wine (pure grape juice). What He did at that wedding
was just a shadow and symbol of what He was commissioned to do later, by transforming
people from worthless sinners into princes and priests of the Most High. The following
true story is just one example out of thousands of how that same Jesus is still
performing that same miracle.
