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 invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.3 And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine.4 And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.5 His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.7 Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.8 And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.9 And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,10 And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.12 After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.13 And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.14 And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.15 And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.16 And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.17 And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.18 The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?19 Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.20 The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.22 When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.23 Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.24 But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,25 And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.

Turning Water into Wine

1 Now on the third day there was a wedding at Canas in Galilee.s Jesus’ mothert was there,2 and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.s3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine left.”ts4 Jesus replied,t “Woman,s why are you saying this to me?t My timets has not yet come.”

5 His mother told the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.”t
6 Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washing,t each holding twenty or thirty gallons.ts7 Jesus told the servants,t “Fill the water jars with water.” So they filled them up to the very top.8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the head steward,”t and they did.9 Whent the head steward tasted the water that had been turned to wine, not knowing where it came fromt (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), het called the bridegroom10 and said to him, “Everyonet serves the good wine first, and then the cheapert wine when the guestst are drunk. You have kept the good wine until now!”

11 Jesus did this as the first of his miraculous signs,t in Canas of Galilee. In this way he revealedt his glory, and his disciples believed in him.t

Cleansing the Temple

12 After this he went down to Capernaumss with his mother and brotherss and his disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13 Now the Jewish feast of Passovert was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.s
14 s He found in the temple courtsts those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at tables.t15 So he made a whip of cordss and drove them all out of the temple courts,t with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changerss and overturned their tables.16 To those who sold the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not maket my Father’s house a marketplace!”ts

17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zealtfor your house will devour me.”s
18 So then the Jewish leaderst responded,t “What sign can you show us, since you are doing these things?”s19 Jesus replied,t “Destroyt this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.”20 Then the Jewish leaderst said to him, “This temple has been under constructiont for forty-six years,s and are you going to raise it up in three days?”21 But Jesust was speaking about the temple of his body.ts

22 So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scriptures and the sayingt that Jesus had spoken.

Jesus at the Passover Feast

23 Now while Jesust was in Jerusalems at the feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing.s24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people.t

25 He did not need anyone to testify about man,t for he knew what was in man.t
