John 2
1
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus
was there:
2
and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3
And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.
4
And Jesus says to her, Woman, what have I to do with you? mine hour is not yet come.
5
His mother says to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.
6
Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews` manner of purifying,
containing two or three firkins each.
7
Jesus says to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the
brim.
8
And he says to them, Draw out now, and bear to the ruler of the feast. And they bare
it.
9
And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence
it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calls"
the bridegroom,
10
and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine; and when [men] have drunk
freely, [then] that which is worse: you have kept the good wine until now.
11
This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory;
and his disciples believed on him.
12
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and [his] brethren, and
his disciples; and there they abode not many days.
13
And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14
And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers
of money sitting:
15
and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and
the oxen; and he poured out the changers` money, and overthrew their tables;
16
and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father`s
house a house of merchandise.
17
His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for your house shall eat me up.
18
The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign show you to us, seeing that
you do these things?
19
Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise
it up.
20
The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will
you raise it up in three days?
21
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22
When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spoke
this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
23
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his
name, beholding his signs which he did.
24
But Jesus did not trust himself to them, for that he knew all men,
25
and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he
himself knew what was in man.
