2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and
the mother of Jesus was there:
2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him,
They have no wine.
2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine
hour is not yet come.
2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto
you, do it.
2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the
manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three
firkins apiece.
2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they
filled them up to the brim.
2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the
governor of the feast. And they bare it.
2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made
wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew
the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the
bridegroom,
2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth
good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is
worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
2:12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and
his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not
many days.
2:13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.
2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and
doves, and the changers of money sitting:
2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them
all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured
out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence;
make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
2:17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of
thine house hath eaten me up.
2:18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest
thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up.
2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in
building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed
the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast
day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles
which he did.
2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew
all men,
2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew
what was in man.
