Mary told Jesus about the problem with the wine and he asked her to gather the servants together to help him. Looking around the room he saw six large water-jars that people used for washing before the meal, but were now empty.

There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, helping. Jesus and his friends were invited as guests. But the wine ran out before the wedding feast was over.

The servants now filled everybody's wine glass with water from the newly filled water-jars. When the first man tried his fresh drink, he remarked to his host that most people would serve their best wine first, but that he had saved his for last.

The servants were told to go and fill the water-jars with fresh water from the well. Serving water up at a wedding would be an embarrassment to their master, so the servants didn't want to. However Jesus persuaded them.

The water had changed into a very fine wine!
