1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee;
and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And
both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do
with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
NOTE: Jesus is addressing her as a representative
of humanity - he, as God, cannot be one with her in marriage (Christianity IS marriage to Jesus Christ -
he IS a straight male) until sins are atoned for by his sacrifical death on the cross - then - the wine
for the wedding will be supplied - the joy of salvation.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone,
after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And
they filled them up to the brim.
8 And
he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When 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,
10 And
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.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and
his disciples believed on him.
