Spiritual Gifts
1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be ignorant. 2 You
know that when you were gentiles you were enticed and led astray to idols that could not
speak. 3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says
“Let Jesus be cursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit, 5 and there are varieties of services but the
same Lord, 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of
them in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 To
one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom and to another the utterance of
knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of
healing by the one Spirit, 10
to another the working of powerful deeds, to another prophecy, to
another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the
interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to
each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.
2nd Scripture Reading – John 2:1-11
The Wedding at Cana
1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2
Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine gave out, the
mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what
concern is that to me and to you? My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants,
“Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites
of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7
Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with
water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it
to the person in charge of the banquet.” So they took it. 9 When the person in charge tasted the
water that had become wine and did not know where it came from (though the servants who
had drawn the water knew), that person called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone
serves the good wine first and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But
you have kept the good wine until now.”
11
Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee
and revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
