| Chapter 2 |
1 | And the third day there was a
marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: |
2 | And both Jesus was called, and
his disciples, to the marriage. |
3 | And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto
him, They have no wine. |
4
| Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour
is not yet come. |
5 |
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
|
6 | And there were
set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the
Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. |
7 | Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with
water. And they filled them up to the brim. |
8 | And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear
unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. |
9 | 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, |
10 |
And 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. |
11 |
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested
forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. |
12 | After this he went down to
Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they
continued there not many days. |
13 | And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. |
14 |
And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the
changers of money sitting: |
15 | And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them
all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the
changers' money, and overthrew the tables; |
16 | And said unto them that sold doves, Take these
things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. |
17 | And his disciples
remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
|
18 | Then answered
the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou
doest these things? |
19 |
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up. |
20
| Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in
building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? |
21 | But he spake of the temple of his
body. |
22 | When
therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said
this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had
said. |
23 | Now
when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in
his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. |
24 | But Jesus did not commit himself
unto them, because he knew all men, |
25 | And needed not that any should testify of man: for he
knew what was in man. |
