The Wedding at Cana (TURNING WATER INTO WINE)
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied.“My hour has not yet come.”

6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding
from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
*Again, JESUS CAN JUST FILL IT BY HIS POWER,.BUT JESUS DIDN’T WANTED TO SHOW OFF,.
HE WANTED THOSE JARS TO BE FILLED WITH WATER!!! six stone water jars
THIS IS WHERE THEY WASH THEIR HANDS,…
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”They did so,
*JUST IMAGINE YUNG MGA DISCIPLES NUNG INUTUSAN SILANG IBIGAY SA HOST NG KASALAN YUNG
ISANG BASO NG TUBIG NA GALING SA STONE JAR,,SIGURO NANGANGATOGNGATOG PA YUN SA

9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.
He did not realize where it had come from, (syempre kung alam nya kung saan yun nang
galeng,.hindi nya iinumin yun..) AT MAAAARING,.WALANG HIMALANG MASASAKSIHAN ANG MGA
DISIPULO..
-
though the servants who had drawn the water knew.
Then he called the bridegroom aside
*,.JESUS NEEDED THOSE JARS TO BE FILLED,… SO THAT HE MAY BE ABLE TO TURN IT INTO A NEW
WINE,…
*BUT TAKE NOTE OF THIS,…those jars were filled with water,…BUT IT WAS DIRTY,..knowing that
these jars werE the kind of jars na ginagamit for the ceremonial washing??? buti sana kung inutusan

HEAVY…mahihirapan silang liisan pa ito,.
*ang sinabe nya lang ay PUNUIN,…..JESUS DIDN’T EVEN CARE KUNG KARAPAT DAPAT BANG GAMITIN
YUN TO BE FILLED WITH NEW WINE…..
*WHAT HE DID RIGHT HERE IS MORE THAN JUST TURNING WATER INTO WINE.
”HE TURN THIS DIRTY WATER INTO THE FINEST WINE.”
*Mas masarap pa doon sa mga naunang I sinerve na wine,….MAS MASARAP PA SA MGA PINILING
WINE,.

DIYOS)
IF SACRIFICING THE FINEST SACRIFICE(JESUS) WILL BRING BACK THE CELEBRATION OF GODS
RELATINSHIP WITH YOU,,,HE WILL BE MORE THAN WILLING TO SACRIFICE HIS ONE AND ONLY
BEGOTTEN SON .
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his
glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they
stayed for a few days.
How appropriate then that St John chooses the story of the wedding in Cana as the first of the stories
of Jesus’ works.
Jesus takes water, the drink of everyday life and the means of ritual purification, and turns it into
wine,the drink of joyous celebration.
