John 2

The Wedding at Cana

The Wedding at Cana

1And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee ; and the mother of Jesus was there : 2And both Jesus was called , and his disciples , to the marriage . 3And when they wanted wine , the mother of Jesus saith unto him , They have no wine . 4Jesus saith unto her , Woman , what have I to do with thee ? mine hour is not yet come . 5His mother saith unto the servants , Whatsoever he saith unto you , do it . 6And there were set there six waterpots of stone , after the manner of the purifying of the Jews , containing two or three firkins apiece . 7Jesus saith unto them , Fill the waterpots with water . And they filled them up to the brim . 8And he saith unto them , Draw out now , and bear unto the governor of the feast . And they bare it . 9When 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 , 10And 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 . 11This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee , and manifested forth his glory ; and his disciples believed on him .

Cleansing the Temple

12After this he went down to Capernaum , he , and his mother , and his brethren , and his disciples : and they continued there not many days . 13And the Jews’ passover was at hand , and Jesus went up to Jerusalem , 14And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves , and the changers of money sitting : 15And 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 ; 16And said unto them that sold doves , Take these things hence ; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise . 17And his disciples remembered that it was written , The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up . 18Then answered the Jews and said unto him , What sign shewest thou unto us , seeing that thou doest these things ? 19Jesus answered and said unto them , Destroy this temple , and in three days I will raise it up . 20Then said the Jews , Forty and six years was this temple in building , and wilt thou rear it up in three days ? 21But he spake of the temple of his body . 22When 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 .

The Response of the People

23Now 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 . 24But Jesus did not commit himself unto them , because he knew all men , 25And needed not that any should testify of man : for he knew what was in man .
