Water Turned to Wine

1 On the third day there was a awedding in bCana of Galilee, and the cmother of Jesus was there.  
2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesus said to her, a“Woman, bwhat does your concern have to do with Me? cMy hour has not yet come.”  
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, aaccording to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.  
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it.
9 When the master of the feast had tasted athe water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

John 2:2

And both Jesus was called, and his disciples - There are several remarkable circumstances here.

1.This was probably the first Christian wedding that was ever in the world.

2.The great Author of the Christian religion, with his disciples, (probably then only four or five in number, see John 1:37, etc.), were invited to it.

3.The first miracle Jesus Christ wrought was at it, and in honor of it.

4.The mother of Christ, the most pure of all virgins, the most holy of all wives, and the first Christian mother, was also at it.

5.The marriage was according to God, or these holy persons would not have attended it.

6.The bride and bridegroom must have been a holy pair, otherwise they would have had nothing to do with such holy company.

Marriage is ever honorable in itself; but it is not at all times used honourably. Where Jesus is not invited to bless the union, no good can be expected; and where the disciples of sin and Satan are preferred to the disciples of Christ, on such occasions, it is a melancholy intimation that so bad a beginning will have a bad ending. I am afraid we may search long, before we find a marriage conducted on such principles as this appears to have been, even among those who make more than a common profession of the religion of Christ.
