John 2:1-8 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. Two days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.

2. Jesus and his followers were also invited.

3. At the wedding there was not enough wine, so Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

4. Jesus answered, “Dear woman, why are you telling me this? It is not yet time for me to begin my work.”

5. His mother said to the servants, “Do what he tells you.”

6. There were six large stone waterpots there that were used by the Jews in their washing ceremonies. Each one held about 20 or 30 gallons.

7. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them to the top.

8. Then he said to them, “Now dip out some water and take it to the man in charge of the feast.” So they did what he said.
