[1] And  the third  day  there was  a marriage  in  Cana  of Galilee;  and  the mother  of Jesus  there:  [2] And  both  Jesus  was called,  and  his  disciples,  to  the marriage.  [3] And  when they wanted  wine,  the mother  of Jesus  saith  unto  him,  They have  no  wine.  [4] Jesus  saith  unto her,  Woman,  what  to do with  hour  not yet  come.  [5] His  mother  saith  unto the servants,  he saith  do  [6] And  set  there  six  waterpots  of stone,  after  the manner of the purifying  of the Jews,  containing  two  or  three  firkins  apiece.  [7] Jesus  saith  unto them,  Fill  the waterpots  with water.  And  them  up  to  the brim.  [8] And  he saith  unto them,  Draw out  now,  and  bear  unto the governor of the feast.  And  they bare  [9] When  the ruler of the feast  had tasted  the water  that was made  wine,  and  knew  not  whence  (but  the servants  which  drew  the water  knew;)  the governor of the feast  called  the bridegroom,  [10] And  saith  unto him,  Every  man  at the beginning  doth set forth  good  wine;  and  when  men have well drunk,  that which is worse:  but thou  hast kept  the good  wine  until  now.  [11] beginning  of miracles  did  Jesus  in  Cana  of Galilee,  and  manifested forth  his  glory;  and  his  disciples  believed  on  him.

Contextual Meaning

The first miracle that Jesus performed, in His public ministry and in John"s Gospel, was semi-public. Apparently only Jesus" disciples, the servants present, and Jesus" mother understood what had happened.
