On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
JOHN 2:1-2 NKJV
John 2:1, 2 The third day refers to the third day from the last day mentioned (1:43). To walk from where John was baptizing to Cana would probably have taken three days. Cana was about four and a half miles northwest of Nazareth. The wording of the text, the mother of Jesus was there … Jesus and His disciples were invited, suggests that Jesus and His disciples were invited because of Mary. Her prominence in asking Jesus to help when the wine ran out (v. 3) may indicate that she was in some way related to the family holding the wedding.
