AND on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the
mother of Jesus was there: (2)So Jesus also, and his disciples, were
invited to the marriage. (3)And the wine being exhausted, the mother of
Jesus saith to him, They have no more wine. (4)Jesus saith unto her,
What is that to me and thee, woman? my hour is not yet come. (5)His
mother saith to the waiters, Whatsoever he orders you, do it. (6)Now
there stood there six large stone jars, for the customary purifying
ablution of the Jews, containing two or three baths each. (7)Jesus
saith to them, Fill these jars with water. And they filled them to the
brim. (8)And he said unto them, Draw out now, and carry to the
president of the table. So they carried it. (9)And when the president
of the table had tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it
came: (but the waiters knew, who drew the water;) the president of the
table called the bridegroom, (10)and saith to him, Every man at first
produces the good wine; and after men have drunk plentifully, then that
which is worse: but thou hast kept back the good wine until now.
(11)This beginning of miracles Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and
displayed his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
(12)After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his
brethren, and his disciples: and he continued there not many days.
(13)And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. (14)And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, and
sheep, and doves, and the moneychangers seated: (15)and having made a
whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and
the oxen; and scattered the money of the exchangers, and overturned the
tables; (16)and said to those who sold doves, Take these hence; make
not my Father's house a house of merchandise. (17)Then the disciples
remembered that it was written, "The zeal of thine house hath eaten me
up." (18)The Jews then addressed him, and said to him, What miracle
shewest thou, seeing thou actest thus? (19)Jesus answered and said to
them, Pull down this temple, and in three days I will rear it up again.
(20)Then said the Jews, This temple has been forty-six years in
building, and canst thou rear it up in three days? (21)Now he had
spoken with reference to the temple of his own body. (22)When therefore
he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had spoken
thus unto them; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which
Jesus had spoken.
(23)Now while he was at Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast,
many believed on his name, when they beheld the miracles which he did.
(24)But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew
them all, (25)and because he had no need that any man should testify
respecting man; for he knew what was in man.
