The story in John 2:1-11 is known as the Wedding at Cana. In this story, Jesus and his disciples are invited to a wedding in Cana, and during the celebration, the hosts run out of wine. Jesus' mother Mary tells him about the problem, and despite initially saying it was not yet his time, he instructs the servants to fill six stone jars with water. He then tells them to draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet, who is surprised to find that it has been turned into the finest wine.
This miracle is significant as it is Jesus' first public miracle, and it reveals his divine power to those in attendance. It also demonstrates Jesus' compassion and concern for the needs of others, even in seemingly trivial matters like running out of wine at a wedding. The story challenges us to trust in Jesus' power to work miracles in our own lives and to have faith in his ability to provide for our needs.
