[Footnote c: _Cf._ the close of the temptation in the wilderness and the experience in the Garden of Gethsemane.] § 29. JESUS WORKS HIS FIRST MIRACLE At Cana in Galilee John 2:1-11 1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and 2 the mother of Jesus was there: and Jesus also was bidden, and his 3 disciples, to the marriage. And when the wine failed, the mother 4 of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet 5 come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto 6 you, do it. Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins 7 apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And 8 they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the [1]ruler of the feast. And they bare it. 9 And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water [2]now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants which had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom, 10 and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when _men_ have drunk freely, _then_ that which is worse: thou 11 hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him. [Footnote 1: Or, _steward_.] [Footnote 2: Or, _that it had become_.] § 30.
