- 1
- And on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
- 2
- And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.
- 3
- And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.
- 4
- Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman?
mine hour has not yet come.
- 5
- His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do.
- 6
- Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each.
- 7
- Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water.
And they filled them up to the brim.
- 8
- And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry [it] to the feast-master.
And they carried [it].
- 9
- But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,
- 10
- and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when [men] have well drunk, then the inferior;
thou hast kept the good wine till now.
- 11
- This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory;
and his disciples believed on him.
- 12
- After this he descended 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 near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
- 14
- And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting;
- 15
- and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast [them] all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen;
and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,
- 16
- and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence;
make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
- 17
- [And] his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.
- 18
- The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest 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 building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days?
- 21
- But *he* spoke of the temple of his body.
- 22
- When therefore he was raised from among [the] dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
- 23
- And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought.
- 24
- But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all [men],
- 25
- and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.
