## The Wedding at Cana
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
And on the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, "They have no wine."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
And Jesus *said to her, **"Woman, what do I have to do with you? My hour has not yet come."**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
His mother *said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do _it_."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
Now there were six stone water jars set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing two or three measures each.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
Jesus *said to them, **"Fill the water jars with water."** So they filled them up to the brim.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
And He *said to them, **"Draw _some_ out now and take it to the headwaiter."** So they took it _to him_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Now when the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the bridegroom,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
and *said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and when _the people_ have drunk freely, _then_ the inferior _wine_; _but_ you have kept the good wine until now."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Jesus did this in Cana of Galilee as the beginning of _His_ signs, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and _His_ brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
|

## Jesus Cleanses the Temple
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated _at their tables_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
And He made a scourge of cords, and drove _them_ all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
and to those who were selling the doves He said, **"Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business."**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house will consume me."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
The Jews then said to Him, "What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
Jesus answered them, **"Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
The Jews then said, "It took forty-six years to build this sanctuary, and will You raise it up in three days?"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
But He was speaking about the sanctuary of His body.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, when they saw His signs which He was doing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 25
|
||
|
|
and because He had no need that anyone bear witness concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.
