| | Chapter 2
|
1 | And the third
day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was
there: |
2 | And both Jesus
was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. |
3 | And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith
unto him, They have no wine. |
4
| Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is
not yet come. |
5 | His
mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. |
6 | And there were set there six
waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing
two or three firkins apiece. |
7
| Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled
them up to the brim. |
8 |
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.
And they bare it. |
9 | When
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, |
10 | And 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. |
11 | This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. |
12 | After this he went down to Capernaum,
he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued
there not many days. |
13 |
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
14 | And found in the temple those
that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: |
15 | And 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; |
16 | And said unto them that sold
doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of
merchandise. |
17 | And his
disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me
up.
|
18 | Then answered the
Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest
these things? |
19 | Jesus
answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will
raise it up. |
20 | Then
said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou
rear it up in three days? |
21 |
But he spake of the temple of his body. |
22 | When 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. |
23 | Now 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. |
24 | But Jesus did
not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, |
25 | And needed not that any should testify
of man: for he knew what was in man. |
