One of the first miracles performed by our Savior, was at Cana in
Gallilee. There was a wedding there, and he and his disciples were
among the guests. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was also one of the
company. Before the wedding feast was over, the wine was all gone, and
Mary said to her son, They have no wine. Then Jesus ordered the
servants to fill six water-pots, which were standing near, with water;
and they filled them up to the brim. He then said to them, Draw out
now and bear some to the ruler of the feast. And they did so.
When the ruler of the feast, who knew nothing of all this, had drank
of the water which was made wine, he said to the bridegroom, Most men
serve out the best wine first, and after that the poorer; but you have
kept the good wine till now.
