1 [2:1]AND on the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; [2:2]and Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the wedding. [2:3]And the wine falling short the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. [2:4]Jesus said to her, What have you to do with me, woman? My hour has not yet come. [2:5]His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he tells you. [2:6]And there were six stone water jars there, placed for the purification of the Jews, containing two or three metretes [16.75 or 25.125 gallons] each. [2:7]Jesus said to them, Fill the water jars with water; and they filled them to the top. [2:8]And he said to them, Now draw out and bear to the master of the feast; and they bore it. [2:9]And when the master of the feast tasted of the water made wine, and knew not whence it was,--but the servants knew who had drawn the water,--the master of the feast called the bridegroom [2:10]and said to him, Every man first presents the good wine, and when they have drunk freely, the poorer; but you have kept the good wine till now. [2:11]This first miracle did Jesus perform at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him. [2:12]After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples, and remained there a few days. 2 [2:13]And the passover of the Jews was nigh; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. [2:14]And he found in the temple those that sold cattle, and sheep, and doves, and the brokers sitting; [2:15]and making a whip of cords he drove them all out of the temple, also the sheep and cattle, and poured out the money of the brokers, and overturned the tables, [2:16]and said to those that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. [2:17]And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thy house consumes me. 3 [2:18]Then the Jews answered and said to him, What sign do you show us, that you do these things? [2:19]Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it. [2:20]Then the Jews said to him, Forty-six years was this temple being built, and will you raise it in three days? [2:21]But he spoke of the temple of his body. [2:22]When, therefore, he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus spoke. CHAPTER IV. CHRIST'S DISCOURSE WITH NICODEMUS. 1 [2:23]AND when he was at Jerusalem at the feast of the passover many believed on him, seeing his miracles which he performed; [2:24]but Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men, [2:25]for he had no need that any should testify of man, for he knew what was in man.
