1 O n the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
2 a nd both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
3 W hen the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
4 A nd Jesus said to her, “ Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come.”
5 H is mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
6 N ow there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons each.
7 J esus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
8 A nd He said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it to him.
9 W hen the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom,
10 a nd said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.”
11 T his beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12 A fter this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days. First Passover—Cleansing the Temple
13 T he Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 A nd He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.
15 A nd He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;
16 a nd to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.”
17 H is disciples remembered that it was written, “ Zeal for Your house will consume me.”
18 T he Jews then said to Him, “ What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?”
19 J esus answered them, “ Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 T he Jews then said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21 B ut He was speaking of the temple of His body.
22 S o when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23 N ow when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.
24 B ut Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,
25 a nd because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.
