About Water into Wine
The wedding at Cana, recorded in the Gospel of John, is the first miracle attributed to Jesus, the moment when six stone water jars, each holding twenty to thirty gallons, were filled to the brim and the water became wine. The master of the feast marveled that the best wine had been saved for last, not knowing where it had come from. John's Gospel calls it a sign, a glimpse of glory that deepened the faith of those who were there.
