| Chapter 2 |
1 |
And on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. |
2 |
And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage. |
3 |
And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine. |
4 |
Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come. |
5 |
His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do. |
6 |
Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each. |
7 |
Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim. |
8 |
And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry it to the feast-master. And they carried it. |
9 |
But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom, |
10 |
and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when men have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now. |
11 |
This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him. |
12 |
After this he descended to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples; and there they abode not many days. |
13 |
And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
14 |
And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting; |
15 |
and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast them all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables, |
16 |
and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father`s house a house of merchandise. |
17 |
And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me. |
18 |
The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things? |
19 |
Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. |
20 |
The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days? |
21 |
But *he* spoke of the temple of his body. |
22 |
When therefore he was raised from among the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken. |
23 |
And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought. |
24 |
But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men, |
25 |
and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man. |
