Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him and saith of him, Behold an Israelite 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 and saith unto Him,
Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee I saw thee
under the fig tree believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than
these. And He saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter
ye shall see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending
upon the Son of man.
2. Three days later there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. The
mother of Jesus was there. And both Jesus and His disciples were called
to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith
unto Him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, But what am I to
do? Mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants,
Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.
Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of
the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus
saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. They filled them up to
the brim. Then He saith unto them, Draw out now, and carry them unto
the governor of the feast.
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. He 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! This beginning of miracles Jesus did in Cana of Galilee. He
showed forth His glory and His disciples believed on Him.
After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brethren,
and His disciples. They continued there for a few days. The passover was
at hand. Jesus went up to Jerusalem and found in the temple those that
sold oxen and sheep and doves and changers of money sitting. And when He
had made a scourge of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple
and overthrew the tables. He said unto them that sold doves, Take these
things hence. Make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. Here
His disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house
hath eaten me up.
Then answered the Jews and said unto Him, What sign showest Thou unto us,
seeing that Thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the
Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt Thou raise
it up again in three days? But He spoke of the temple of His body. When,
therefore, He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that
He had said this to them and they believed the scripture and the word
which Jesus had said.
