Chapter 2
1 The third day , there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee . Jesus ’ mother was there .
2 Jesus also was invited , with his disciples , to the wedding .
3 When the wine ran out , Jesus ’ mother said to him , " They have no wine ."
4 Jesus said to her , " Woman , what does that have to do with you and me ? My hour has not yet come ."
5 His mother said to the servants , " Whatever he says to you , do it ."
6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews ’ way of purifying , containing two or three metretes apiece.
7 Jesus said to them , " Fill the water pots with water ." So they filled them up to the brim.
8 He said to them , " Now draw some out , and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it .
9 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
10 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 !"
11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee , and revealed his glory ; and his disciples believed in him .
12 After this , he went down to Capernaum , he , and his mother , his brothers, and his disciples ; and they stayed there a few days .
13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand , and Jesus went up to Jerusalem .
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen , sheep , and doves , and the changers of money sitting .
15 He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple , both the sheep and the oxen ; and he poured out the changers ’ money and overthrew their tables .
16 To those who sold the doves , he said , " Take these things out of here ! Don’ t make my Father ’s house a marketplace!"
17 His disciples remembered that it was written , " Zeal for your house will eat me up ."
18 The Jews therefore answered him , " What sign do you show us , seeing that you do these things ?"
19 Jesus answered them , " Destroy this temple , and in three days I will raise it up ."
20 The Jews therefore said , " It took forty-six years to build this temple ! Will you raise it up in three days ?"
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body .
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 had said .
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover , during the feast , many believed in his name , observing his signs which he did .
24 But Jesus didn’ t entrust himself to them , because he knew everyone ,
25 and because he didn’ t need for anyone to testify concerning man ; for he himself knew what was in man .
