OLD TESTAMENT Psalm 22:1-9

1. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning? 2. O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer; and by night, but find no rest. 3. Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. 4. In you our ancestors trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. 5. To you they cried, and were saved; in you they trusted, and were not put to shame. 6. But I am a worm, and not human; scorned by others, and despised by the people. 7. All who see me mock at me; they make mouths at me, they shake their heads; 8. “Commit your cause to the Lord; let him deliver—let him rescue the one in whom he delights!”  (NRSV)

GOSPEL John 2:1-11

1. On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4. And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.” 5. His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6. Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7. Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward.” So they took it. 9. When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom 10. and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.”

11. Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. (NRSV)
