Summary
At Mary's intercession, Jesus changes water into wine at a wedding feast.
Scripture
John 2:1–11
What Happened
When the wine fails, Mary tells the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.' Six stone jars are filled with water; the steward tastes the finest wine. Christ manifests His glory and His disciples believe.
Why It Matters
Reveals Christ's lordship over creation and honors marriage; Mary's role as intercessor appears at the dawn of His ministry.
