# The Miracle at the Wedding

John 2:1–11

Jesus and his followers went to a town called Cana. There was a wedding in that town. Everyone was having fun and eating a big meal. But before the meal was over, they ran out of wine. Mary, Jesus’ mother, knew he could help. Mary said to Jesus, “They have no wine.” He said, “It is not time for me to do miracles.” But Mary told the people, “Do what he tells you.”

Six big stone jars were standing there. They each held as much water as a bathtub. Jesus said, “Fill those jars with water.” The servants did what he said. Then Jesus told them, “Take some of it to the leader of this wedding.” So they dipped some water out of the jars. It had changed to wine.

The leader of the wedding was surprised. He spoke to the bridegroom. “This wine is better than any you have served so far. You kept the best wine until last.”

This was the first time Jesus did something to prove he was the Son of God. When his followers saw it, they believed in Jesus even more.

Questions: What happened to the water? Why did Jesus change the water into wine?
