We know almost nothing about the private life of Jesus. A lot of people believe that Jesus was serious all the time. The Bible, however, says that Jesus and his disciples enjoyed parties and feasts.

There was a wedding feast in Cana, a small village in Galilee. The friends of Mary, Jesus' mother, came to the feast. There were many people, but not much wine. After a short time, all of the wine was gone. Mary said to her son Jesus: "There is no more wine for the guests." Jesus was embarrassed, but he decided to make the best of the situation. Mary told the servants: "Whatever he tells you to do, do it!"

Nearby were six empty water pots. Each could hold 30 liters. Jesus said to the servants: "Fill those pots with water!" They filled them right up to the brim.

Then he said: "Take these pots to the Master of Ceremonies!" They did so. The Master of Ceremonies tasted the contents. He said. "This wine is the best I've ever tasted!" He told the waiters to give the wine to the guests. He did not know that the wine came from water and not grapes.

The chief guest at the wedding turned to the bride groom and said: "At feasts, it is usual for the best wine to be served first. Then, a cheap wine is usually served later, when no one will notice the difference. But you have kept the best wine till last!"

This was the first of many miracles by Jesus. By turning water into wine, he revealed his power to his disciples and they learned that Jesus is all they truly need.
