Jesus Christ -- Biography
On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth
Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, "Follow me." Now Philip was from
Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael,
and saith unto him, "We have found him, of whom Moses in the law and
the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
And Nathanael said unto him. "Can any good thing come out of
Nazareth?"
Philip saith unto him, "Come and see."
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, "Behold, an
Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"
Nathanael saith unto him, "Whence knowest thou me?"
Jesus answered and said unto him, "Before Philip called thee, when
thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee."
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King
of Israel."
Jesus answered and said unto him, "Because I said unto thee, 'I saw
thee underneath the fig tree,' believest thou? thou shalt see greater
things than these."
And he saith unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see
the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon
the Son of man."
THE FIRST MIRACLE.
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the
mother of Jesus was there: and Jesus also was bidden, and his
disciples, to the marriage.
And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, "They
have no wine."
And Jesus saith unto her, "Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine
hour is not yet come."
His mother saith unto the servants, "Whatsoever he saith unto you, do
it."
Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews' manner
of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto
them, "Fill the waterpots with water."
And they filled them up to the brim.
And he saith unto them, "Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the
feast."
And they bare it. And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now
become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had
drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom,
and saith unto him, "Every man setteth on first the good wine; and
when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept
the good wine until now."
This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his
brethren, and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.
JESUS IN JERUSALEM
CLEANSING HIS FATHER'S HOUSE.
And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep
and doves, and the changers of money sitting: and he made a scourge of
cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen;
and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables; and
to them that sold the doves he said, "Take these things hence; make
not my Father's house a house of merchandise."
