day that must have been!

Andrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told
him that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new
Master. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and
next day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going
along, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where
Simon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to
come with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very
good man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him
that he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to
come and see Him.

How many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,
Philip, and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his
brother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.

Directly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a
place called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to
the wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make
them happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and
at other times than is good for them, and a great many people go
without any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East
it is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So
Jesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There
was some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently
it came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no
wine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her
to wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do
everything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.
