John 2

1And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

2and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

6Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews’ manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.

7Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it.

9And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom,

10and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now.

11This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.

13And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables;

16and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.

17His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up.

18The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

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

20The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

21But he spake of the temple of his body.

22When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did.

24But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,

25and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
