Original text and translations

Latin text Dicit Dominus: Implete hydrias aqua, et ferte architriclino. Cum gustasset architriclinus aquam vinum factam, dicit sponso: Servasti vinum bonum usque adhuc. Hoc signum fecit Jesum primum coram discipulis suis.

English translation The Lord said: "Fill the jars with water and bring some to the master of the feast." When the master of the feast tasted the water, which had now become wine, he declared to the bridegroom: "You have kept the good wine until now". This was the first sign which Jesus accomplished before his disciples.
