In context
4Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6Standing there were six stone water jars, of the kind used for the purification of the Jews, each holding two or three measures. 7Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” They filled them to the brim. 8Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the steward of the banquet.” They took it to him.
