Jesus' Unexpected Response
Jesus unexpected response; transfer responsibility of His mother to his brother - water turned to wine. It was a big day.
Jesus and his disciples - also Mary, his mother-were guests at a wedding in Cana of Galilee after he had gathered the first of his disciples.
When it was time to serve wine to the wedding guests, Mary said to Jesus:
"They have no wine."
Jesus replied:
"Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come."
Mary said to the servants:
"Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it."
Designating the six water pots of stone, Jesus said to the servants:
"Fill the waterpots with water."
When they were filled, Jesus instructed the servants:
"Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast."
When it was carried to the ruler of the feast, it was fine wine.
The disciples, seeing this manifestation of the glory of Jesus, believed on him.
