2 On the Tuesday,[fn] there was a wedding in Kana in Galil, and Yeshua’s (Jesus’; Grk. Yesus’) mother was there 2 and Yeshua and his apprentices were also invited. 3 When the wine ran out at the wedding, his mother said to him, “They haven’t got any more wine.”

4 Yeshua answered, “What does that have to do with us, mother? It’s not the time for my ministry yet.”

5 But his mother told the servants, “Just do whatever he tells you.”

6 Now there were six empty stone water jars there that are used for Jewish purification ceremonies. (Each one could hold over 70 litres.) 7 So Yeshua told them to fill the jars with water, and they filled them up. 8 Then he said, “Okay, now take a sample out and give it to the MC.” So they took some 9 and when the MC tasted the water that had now turned to wine, not knowing where it had come from he called the groom 10 and exclaimed, “Most people supply the best wine at the beginning of the reception, and the cheaper stuff when people are a bit tipsy. But you’ve kept the best wine until last!”

11 This event in Kana, Galil, was the first of the miracles that Yeshua did, and it revealed his greatness and his followers believed that he was from God.

12 After that, Yeshua and his mother and brothers and his followers travelled east to Kafarnaoum (Capernaum),[ref] but they only stayed there a few days.
