6. At the feast there were six stone water jars that were used by the people for washing themselves in the way that their religion said they must. Each jar held about a hundred litres.
7. Jesus told the servants to fill them to the top with water. Then after the jars had been filled,
8. he said, “Now take some water and give it to the man in charge of the feast.”The servants did as Jesus told them,
9. and the man in charge drank some of the water that had now turned into wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants did. He called the bridegroom over
10. and said, “The best wine is always served first. Then after the guests have had plenty, the other wine is served. But you have kept the best until last!”
11. This was Jesus' first miracle, and he did it in the village of Cana in Galilee. There Jesus showed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.
12. After this, he went with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples to the town of Capernaum, where they stayed for a few days.
13. Not long before the Jewish festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem.
14. There he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves in the temple. He also saw moneychangers sitting at their tables.
