A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS ACCORDING TO JOHN (FIRST READER ONLY)

There was a wedding in Cana in Galilee./

Jesus, his disciples, and his mother were there./

When the wine ran short, Mary said to Jesus, "They have no wine."/

"Woman, he said, your thoughts are not mine./

My hour has not yet come."/

She said to the servers, "Do whatever he tells you."/

Jesus told them, "Fill six stone jars with water."/

(Each jar held twenty to thirty gallons.)/

"Now, draw some out and take it to the steward."/

After tasting it, the steward immediately called the bridegroom./

"Everyone serves the best wine first, but you have kept the best wine until the end."/

After this, his disciples believed in him./
