John 2

¹And on the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

²And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the wedding.

³And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus says to him, 'They have no wine.'

⁴And Jesus says to her, 'Woman, what concern is that to me and to you? My hour has not yet come.'

⁵His mother says to the servants, 'Whatever he says to you, do it.'

⁶Now there were six stone water jars standing there according to the Jewish purification rites, each holding two or three measures.

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

⁸And he says to them, 'Draw some out now and take it to the master of the feast.' And they took it.

⁹When the master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know from where it came — though the servants who had drawn the water knew — the master of the feast calls the bridegroom

¹⁰and said to him, 'Everyone sets out the good wine first, and when they have drunk freely, then the inferior; you have kept the good wine until now.'

¹¹This, the beginning of signs, Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

¹²After this he went down to Capernaum, he himself and his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there not many days.

¹³And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁴And he found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting.

¹⁵And having made a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned the tables.

¹⁶And to those selling the doves he said, 'Take these things from here; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.'

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

¹⁸The Jews therefore answered and said to him, 'What sign do you show us, because you do these things?'

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

²⁰The Jews therefore said, 'This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, 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 been saying this to them, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

²³Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing.

²⁴But Jesus himself was not entrusting himself to them, because he knew all people.

²⁵and because he had no need that anyone should testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
