John 2, 1-12
THERE IS A WEDDING IN CANA.
JESUS IS THERE. HIS MOTHER MARY IS THERE. HIS FRIENDS ARE THERE.
THERE IS NO MORE WINE LEFT.
MARIA SAYS TO JESUS: „THEY HAVE NO MORE WINE. DO SOMETHING!“ JESUS ANSWERS: „DON‘T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.“
MARIA SAYS TO THE SERVANTS: „DO WHAT JESUS TELLS YOU TO DO.“
JESUS SAYS TO THE SERVANTS: „FILL THESE WATERPOTS WITH WATER!“
THERE ARE SIX LARGE WATERPOTS. THE SERVANTS FILL THEM TO THE TOP.
JESUS SAYS TO THE SERVANTS: „LET THE MASTER OF THE FEAST TASTE FROM THE WATER!“
THE MAN TASTES IT. THE WATER HAS BECOME WINE!
HE SAYS TO THE BRIDEGROOM: „WHY DID YOU SAVE THE BEST WINE UNTIL NOW? NOW ALL GUESTS ARE DRUNK ALREADY!“
ALL PEOPLE ARE HAPPY.
THIS IS THE FIRST MIRACLE OF JESUS. HE SHOWS HIS GREATNESS.
