Miracle at Cana

2 On ^(A)the third day there was a wedding in ^(B)Cana of Galilee, and the ^(C)mother of Jesus was there; ²and both Jesus and His ^(D)disciples were invited to the wedding. ³When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.” ⁴And Jesus *said to her, “^[a]^(E)What business do you have with Me, ^(F)woman? ^(G)My hour has not yet come.” ⁵His ^(H)mother *said to the servants, “Whatever He tells you, do it.” ⁶Now there were six stone waterpots standing there ^(I)for the Jewish custom of purification, containing ^[b]two or three measures each. ⁷Jesus *said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. ⁸And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the ^[c]headwaiter.” And they took it to him. ⁹Now when the headwaiter tasted the water ^(J)which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the groom, ¹⁰and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the guests ^(K)are drunk, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” ¹¹This beginning of His ^[d]^(L)signs Jesus did in Cana of ^(M)Galilee, and revealed His ^(N)glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

Five Thousand Men Fed

6 After these things ^(A)Jesus went away to the other side of ^(B)the Sea of Galilee (or ^(C)Tiberias). ²A large crowd was following Him, because they were watching the ^[a]^(D)signs which He was performing on those who were sick. ³But ^(E)Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. ⁴Now ^(F)the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. ⁵So Jesus, after raising His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to ^(G)Philip, “Where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat?” ⁶But He was saying this only to ^(H)test him, for He Himself knew what He intended to do. ⁷^(I)Philip answered Him, “^(J)Two hundred ^[b]denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, for each to receive just a little!” ⁸One of His ^(K)disciples, ^(L)Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, *said to Him, ⁹“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two ^(M)fish; but what are these for so many people?” ¹⁰Jesus said, “Have the people recline to eat.” Now there was ^(N)plenty of grass in the place. So the men reclined, about ^[c]^(O)five thousand in number. ¹¹Jesus then took the loaves, and ^(P)after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were reclining; likewise also of the ^(Q)fish, as much as they wanted. ¹²And when they had eaten their fill, He *said to His ^(R)disciples, “Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing will be lost.” ¹³So they gathered them up, and filled twelve ^(S)baskets with pieces from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. ¹⁴Therefore when the people saw the ^[d]sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the ^(T)Prophet who is to come into the world.”
