From the Jordan, Jesus had returned to Galilee. There was to be a marriage at Cana, a little town not far from Nazareth; the parties were relatives of Joseph and Mary; and Jesus, knowing of this family gathering, went to Cana, and with His disciples was invited to the feast.

Jesus var fra Jordan vendt tilbage til Galilæa. Der skulle fejres et bryllup i Kana, en lille by, der ikke lå langt borte fra Nazaret. Familierne var i slægt med Josef og Maria, og Jesus, som vidste besked om denne familiesammenkomst, drog til Kana og blev sammen med sine disciple indbudt til festen.
