What was the first word that Jesus said in the bible?

Answer 1

Off the top of my head, assuming you mean when Jesus started his ministry... was "it is not my time yet" at the wedding feast in Cana, when he performed his first miracle by turning water into expensive, high quality wine. The servants in the kitchen were frantic, as they had run out of wine for the dinner guests, & Jesus' mother Mary told him to help them to which he replied "it's not my time yet" ... after she pressured him some more, as mothers do, he told the servants to fill several large decanters to the brim with water, & then bring the vessels to the headwaiter, who, upon opening them & tasting the wine, not knowing where it came from, proclaimed to the guests at the party, "though it is customary to serve the superior wine first (to get everyone buzzed) and then serve the inferior wine (where they'd be too buzzed to notice the inferior quality), I have saved the best wine for last! Drink up and enjoy, for there is plenty to go around..."

To me, I find this story charming in terms of Mother Mary, because we can all imagine a mother & her young son, persuading him to follow his destiny, despite his balking at it. It seems as though Jesus had the human quality of stage fright, & didn't want everyone to know that He was the son of God, so his mother stepped in & put her foot down & persuaded him to do what he was charged by God, his Father, to do!
