1 The
third day, there
was a wedding
in Cana of
Galilee. Jesus’
mother was there.
2 Jesus
also was invited,
with his disciples,
to the wedding.
3 When
the wine ran
out, Jesus’ mother
said to him, “They
have no wine.”
4 Jesus
said to her,
“Woman, what
does that have
to do with
you and me?
My hour has
not yet
come.”
5 His
mother said to
the servants, “Whatever
he says to
you, do it.”
6 Now
there were
six water pots of
stone set there
after the Jews’
way of purifying,
containing two or
three metretes
apiece.
7 Jesus
said to them,
“Fill the
water pots with
water.”
So they filled
them up to
the brim.
8 He
said to them,
“Now draw some
out, and take
it to the ruler
of the feast.”
So they took
it.
9 When
the ruler of
the feast tasted
the water now
become wine,
and didn’t know
where it came
from (but the
servants who
had drawn the
water knew),
the ruler of
the feast called
the bridegroom
10 and
said to him, “Everyone
serves the good
wine first, and
when the guests
have drunk freely,
then that which
is worse. You
have kept the
good wine until
now!”
11 This beginning of
his signs Jesus
did in Cana
of Galilee, and
revealed his glory;
and his disciples
believed in him.
12 After
this, he went
down to Capernaum,
he, and his
mother, his brothers,
and his disciples;
and they stayed
there a few
days.
13 The
Passover of the
Jews was at
hand, and Jesus
went up to
Jerusalem.
14 He
found in the
temple those who
sold oxen, sheep,
and doves, and
the changers of
money sitting.
15 He
made a whip of
cords and drove
all out of
the temple, both
the sheep and
the oxen; and
he poured out
the changers’
money and overthrew
their tables.
16 To
those who sold
the doves, he
said,
“Take these
things out of
here! Don’t make
my Father’s
house a marketplace!”
17 His
disciples remembered
that it was
written, “Zeal for
your house will
eat me up.”
18 The
Jews therefore
answered him, “What
sign do you
show us, seeing
that you do
these things?”
19 Jesus
answered them,
“Destroy this
temple, and in
three days I
will raise it
up.”
20 The
Jews therefore
said, “It
took forty-six years
to build this
temple! 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 said
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 in
his name,
observing his
signs which he
did.
24 But
Jesus didn’t
entrust himself to
them, because he
knew everyone,
25 and
because he didn’t
need for anyone
to testify
concerning man;
for he himself
knew what was
in man.
