First Reading
Isaiah 62: 1-5
1For Zion’s sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, Until her vindication shines forth like the dawn and her salvation like a burning torch.
2Nations shall behold your vindication, and all kings your glory; You shall be called by a new name bestowed by the mouth of the LORD.
3You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4No more shall you be called “Forsaken,” nor your land called “Desolate,” But you shall be called “My Delight is in her,” and your land “Espoused.” For the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be espoused.
5For as a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you; And as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you.

Gospel
John 2: 1-11
1On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.
3When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
4[And] Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.”
5His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.
7Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it.
9And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom
10and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.”
11Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.
