John

John 2:1–5

1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
