2:1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
2:2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
2:3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
2:4 “Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
2:5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
2:6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
2:7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
2:8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
2:9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
2:10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
2:11 This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.
2:12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.
2:13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2:14 In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
2:15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
2:16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market!”
2:17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
2:18 Then the Jews demanded of him, “What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
2:20 The Jews replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?”
2:21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
2:22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
2:23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name.
2:24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men.
2:25 He did not need man’s testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.
2:1 And the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2:2 And Jesus also was invited, as well as His disciples, to the wedding.
2:3 And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, They have no wine.
2:4 And Jesus said to her, Woman, what do I have in this that concerns you? My hour has not yet come.
2:5 His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do.
2:6 Now there were six stone waterpots lying there, according to the Jews rite of purification, holding two or three measures each.
2:7 Jesus said to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
2:8 And He said to them, Draw some out now and take it to the master of the feast. And they took it to him.
2:9 And when the master of the feast tasted the water which had become wine and did not know where it came from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew, the master of the feast called the bridegroom
2:10 And said to him, Every man sets out the good wine first, and when they have drunk freely, then that which is worse; you have kept the good wine until now.
2:11 This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed into Him.
2:12 After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples; and they remained there not many days.
2:13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2:14 And He found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting there.
2:15 And having made a whip out of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, as well as the sheep and the oxen, and He poured out the money of the moneychangers and overturned their tables.
2:16 And to those who were selling the doves He said, Take these things away from here; do not make My Father s house a house of merchandise.
2:17 His disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of Your house shall devour Me.
2:18 The Jews then answered and said to Him, What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things?
2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
2:20 Then the Jews said, This temple was built in forty-six years, and You will raise it up in three days?
2:21 But He spoke of the temple of His body.
2:22 When therefore He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
2:23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed into His name when they saw the signs which He did.
2:24 But Jesus Himself did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew all men,
2:25 And because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.
