John

John 2:7–9

⁷Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.”

So they filled them to the brim.

⁸“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.”

They did so, ⁹and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
