King of Israel!"
001:050 Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath
the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater
things than these!"
001:051 He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you
will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending
and descending on the Son of Man."
002:001 The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee.
Jesus' mother was there.
002:002 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage.
002:003 When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him,
"They have no wine."
002:004 Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me?
My hour has not yet come."
002:005 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
002:006 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews'
manner of purifying, containing two or three metretes{2
to 3 metretes is about 20 to 30 U. S. Gallons, 16 to 25
imperial gallons, or 75 to 115 litres.} apiece.
002:007 Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water."
They filled them up to the brim.
002:008 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler
of the feast." So they took it.
002:009 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine,
and didn't know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn
the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,
002:010 and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first,
and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse.
You have kept the good wine until now!"
002:011 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee,
and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
002:012 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother,
his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there
a few days.
002:013 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went
up to Jerusalem.
002:014 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves,
and the changers of money sitting.
002:015 He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple,
both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers'
money, and overthrew their tables.
002:016 To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here!
Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!"
002:017 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your
house will eat me up."{Psalm 69:9}
002:018 The Jews therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us,
seeing that you do these things?"
002:019 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days
I will raise it up."
002:020 The Jews therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple
in building, and will you raise it up in three days?"
002:021 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
