First Reading

Hebrews 2: 1-10

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard,

lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast,

and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How

shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken

by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them

witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy

Ghost, according to his own will? For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the

world to come, whereof we speak. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is

man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou

madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour,

and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection

under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not

put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who

was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory

and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it

became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons

unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Second Reading

1 John 5:1-12

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth

him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the

children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of

God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For

whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that

overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that

believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood,

even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that

beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in

heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there

are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these

three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for

this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the

Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;

because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record,

that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son

hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

Gospel

John 2: 1-13

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was

there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they

wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, they have no wine. Jesus saith unto

her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith

unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six

water pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or

three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled

them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the

governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water

that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the

water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every

man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then

that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of

miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples

believed on him. After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his

brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days. And the Jews'

Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
