In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers.

13. On the third day there was a wedding
in Cana of Galilee, and the mother
of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples
had also been invited to the wedding.
When the wine gave out, the mother
of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine.”

"Now draw some out, and take it
to the chief steward."
So they took it.
JOHN

15. When the steward tasted the water that
had become wine, and did not know where
it came from (though the servants who
had drawn the water knew), the steward

"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.”
Jesus did this, the first of his signs,
in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory;
and his disciples believed in him.
