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