John Chapter 2
1 On the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee and Jesus' mother was there.
2 Both Jesus and His disciples were invited⁺ to the marriage.
3 When they ran out⁺ of wine, Jesus' mother said to Him: They have no wine.
4 Jesus said to her: What is this to you and to me, woman? My hour has not yet come.
5 His mother said to the servants: Do whatever He may say to you.
6 Now there were six stone water pots standing⁺ there of the kind used by the Jews for purifying, each⁺ able to hold⁺ nearly twenty to thirty gallon⁺.
7 Jesus said to them: Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 Then He said to them: Draw some out now and take⁺ it to the host⁺. They took⁺ it as Jesus said.
9 When the host⁺ tasted the water that was made into wine, he did not understand⁺ where it had come from. But the servants who drew the water knew. The host⁺ called the bridegroom
10 and said to him: Everyone⁺ at the beginning sets forth good wine. When the guests have drunk well, then what is lower⁺ quality is set out. But you have kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles~ Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested~ forth His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12 After this, Jesus went to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples, and they stayed⁺ there though not many days.
13 The Jews' Passover was at hand and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 In the temple, He found those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and also the money changers sitting there. Malachi 3:1..3
15 So He made a whip⁺ of small cords, and He drove them all out of the temple, along with the sheep and oxen, and He poured out the changers' money and overthrew the tables. Malachi 3:1..3
16 To those who sold doves, He said: Take these things away⁺. Do not make my Father's house a house of merchandise.
17 And His disciples remembered that it was written: The zeal of your house has eaten me up. Psalm 69:9
18 Then the Jews answered and said to Him: What sign can you show us to demonstrate your authority for these things that you do?
19 Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then the Jews said: It took forty six years to build this temple and you claim that you can raise⁺ it up in three days?
21 But Jesus was speaking of the temple of His body.
22 Therefore, when He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them, and they believed the Scripture and the Word that Jesus had said.
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover in the feast day, many believed in His name when they saw the miracles~ that He did.
24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to their testimony because He knew all men
25 and He did not need any of them to testify concerning⁺ man, for He knew what was in man.
