John 2

¹On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee , and the mother of Jesus was there .

²Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples .

³When the wine ran out , the mother of Jesus said to him , They have no wine .

⁴And Jesus said to her , Woman , what does this have to do with me ? My hour has not yet come .

⁵His mother said to the servants , Do whatever he tells you .

⁶Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification , each holding twenty or thirty gallons .

⁷Jesus said to the servants , Fill the jars with water . And they filled them up to the brim .

⁸And he said to them , Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast. So they took it.

⁹When the master of the feast tasted the water now 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

¹⁰and said to him , Everyone serves the good wine first , and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now .

¹¹This , the first of his signs , Jesus did at Cana in Galilee , and manifested his glory . And his disciples believed in him .

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

¹³The Passover of the Jews was at hand , and Jesus went up to Jerusalem .

¹⁴In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons , and the money-changers sitting there.

¹⁵And making a whip of cords , he drove them all out of the temple , with the sheep and oxen . And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables .

¹⁶And he told those who sold the pigeons , Take these things away ; do not make my Father’s house a house of trade .

¹⁷His disciples remembered that it was written , Zeal for your house will consume me .

¹⁸So the Jews said to him , What sign do you show us for doing these things ?

¹⁹Jesus answered them , Destroy this temple , and in three days I will raise it up.

²⁰The Jews then said , It has taken forty-six years to build this temple , and will you raise it up in three days ?

²¹But he was speaking about the temple of his body .

²²When therefore he was raised from the dead , his disciples remembered that he had said this , and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken .

²³Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast , many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing .

²⁴But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them , because he knew all people

²⁵and needed no one to bear witness about man , for he himself knew what was in man .
