Reading 1, Isaiah 62:1-5

¹ About Zion I will not be silent, about Jerusalem I shall not rest until saving justice dawns for her like a bright light and her salvation like a blazing torch.

² The nations will then see your saving justice, and all kings your glory, and you will be called a new name which Yahweh's mouth will reveal.

³ You will be a crown of splendour in Yahweh's hand, a princely diadem in the hand of your God.

⁴ No more will you be known as 'Forsaken' or your country be known as 'Desolation'; instead, you will be called 'My Delight is in her' and your country 'The Wedded'; for Yahweh will take delight in you and your country will have its wedding.

⁵ Like a young man marrying a virgin, your rebuilder will wed you, and as the bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so will your God rejoice in you.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 96:1-2, 2-3, 7-8, 9-10

¹ Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth!

² Sing to Yahweh, bless his name! Proclaim his salvation day after day,

³ declare his glory among the nations, his marvels to every people!

⁷ Give to Yahweh, families of nations, give to Yahweh glory and power,

⁸ give to Yahweh the glory due to his name! Bring an offering and enter his courts,

⁹ adore Yahweh in the splendour of his holiness. Tremble before him, all the earth.

¹⁰ Say among the nations, 'Yahweh is king.' The world is set firm, it cannot be moved. He will judge the nations with justice.

Gospel, John 2:1-12

¹ On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there,

² and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited.

³ And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, 'They have no wine.'

⁴ Jesus said, 'Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.'

⁵ His mother said to the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.'

⁶ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons.

⁷ Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the jars with water,' and they filled them to the brim.

⁸ Then he said to them, 'Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.'

⁹ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from -- though the servants who had drawn the water knew -- the president of the feast called the bridegroom

¹⁰ and said, 'Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.'

¹¹ This was the first of Jesus' signs: it was at Cana in Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

¹² After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, but they stayed there only a few days.

Reading 2, First Corinthians 12:4-11

⁴ There are many different gifts, but it is always the same Spirit;

⁵ there are many different ways of serving, but it is always the same Lord.

⁶ There are many different forms of activity, but in everybody it is the same God who is at work in them all.

⁷ The particular manifestation of the Spirit granted to each one is to be used for the general good.

⁸ To one is given from the Spirit the gift of utterance expressing wisdom; to another the gift of utterance expressing knowledge, in accordance with the same Spirit;

⁹ to another, faith, from the same Spirit; and to another, the gifts of healing, through this one Spirit;

¹⁰ to another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the power of distinguishing spirits; to one, the gift of different tongues and to another, the interpretation of tongues.

¹¹ But at work in all these is one and the same Spirit, distributing them at will to each individual.
