### Gospel: John 2:1-11

- 1 And on the third day, a wedding was held in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
- 2 Now Jesus was also invited to the wedding, with his disciples.
- 3 And when the wine was failing, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
- 4 And Jesus said to her: “What is that to me and to you, woman? My hour has not yet arrived.”
- 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
- 6 Now in that place, there were six stone water jars, for the purification ritual of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.
- 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” And they filled them to the very top.
- 8 And Jesus said to them, “Now draw from it, and carry it to the chief steward of the feast.” And they took it to him.
- 9 Then, when the chief steward had tasted the water made into wine, since he did not know where it was from, for only the servants who had drawn the water knew, the chief steward called the groom,
- 10 and he said to him: “Every man offers the good wine first, and then, when they have become inebriated, he offers what is worse. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
- 11 This was the beginning of the signs that Jesus accomplished in Cana of Galilee, and it manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
