John 2:1-111And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. (John 2:1‑11)
I TOLD you that some people used to ask Jesus to come into their houses. I shall now tell you about such a man. This man gave a feast, and Jesus came to the feast. Mary, Jesus’ mother, came, and the disciples came. There were many other people at the feast.
There was some wine for the people to drink, but there was so little that very soon it was all finished. Jesus knew that the wine was finished. Could Jesus not give the people more wine?
Yes. He made the world and all things in it.
There were some large stone jars in the house. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the very top.
Then Jesus said, ‘Take some, and give it to the man in charge of the feast.’ The servants did so; but Jesus had turned the water into wine.
When the man had tasted it, he said, ‘What nice wine this is! Where did it come from?’
The servants told him how Jesus had said to them to fill the jars with water. Then all the people at the feast knew that Jesus had turned the water into wine. This was the first wonder that Jesus did; it was called a miracle.
Why did Jesus do miracles?
To show people that He was the Son of God. The disciples now felt quite sure that Jesus was the Son of God.
