On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in
Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his
disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of
Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have
to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” His
mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells
you.”
Now there were six stone water jars there for the
Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or
thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the
jars with water.” And they filled them up to the
brim. And he said to them, “Now draw some out
and take it to the master of the feast.” So they
took it. When the master of the feast tasted the
water now become wine, and did not know where
it came from (though the servants who had drawn
the water knew), the master of the feast called
the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone
serves the good wine first, and when people have
drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have
kept the good wine until now.”
This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in
Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his
disciples believed in him.

Most probably, the fact that Mary was present at
this wedding indicates that this was a friend of the
family, possibly a relative.
