John
2: 1-11
1And the third day
there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was
called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they
wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto
her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith
unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set
there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews,
containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto
them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto
them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare
it.
9 When the ruler of
the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it
was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast
called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him,
Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well
drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of
miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and
his disciples believed on him.

From this story, we see that Jesus, His mother, and His disciples all
attended a wedding that took place in Cana in Galilee. In this
story, the host of the party did the unthinkable--he ran out of wine.
So Mary, the mother of our Lord told Jesus of the predicament expecting Him
to do something about it. |
