[1]ON the third day there was a marriage feast in Cana, a city of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.
[2]And Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the marriage feast.
[3]And when the wine decreased, his mother said to Jesus, They have no wine.
[4]Jesus said to her, What is it to me and to you, woman? my turn has not yet come.
[5]His mother said to the helpers, Whatever he tells you, do it.
[6]And there were six stone jars placed there for the purification of the Jews, which could hold several gallons each.
[7]Jesus said to them, Fill the jars with water; and they filled them up to the brim.
[8]Then he said to them, Draw out now, and bring it to the chief guest of the feast. And they brought it.
[9]And when the chief guest tasted the water that had become wine, he did not know whence it had come; but the helpers knew, who had drawn the water. Then the chief guest called the bridegroom
[10]And said to him, Every man at first brings the best wine; and when they have drunk, then that which is weak; but you have kept the best wine until now.
[11]This is the first miracle which Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and he showed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
[12]After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers, and his disciples; and they remained there a few days.
[13]And the Jewish passover was nearing; so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
[14]And he found in the temple those who were buying oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting.
[15]And he made a whip of cord, and drove them all out of the temple, even the sheep and the oxen and the money changers; and he threw out their exchange money, and upset their trays;
[16]And to those who sold doves he said, Take these away from here; do not make my Father's house a house of trading.
[17]And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal for your house has given me courage.
[18]The Jews answered and said to him, What sign do you show us, that you are doing these things?
[19]Jesus answered and said to them, Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
[20]The Jews said to him, It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?
[21]But he spoke concerning the temple of his body.
[22]When he rose from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scriptures and the word which Jesus had said.
[23]Now when Jesus was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, a great many believed in him, because they saw the miracles which he did.
[24]But Jesus did not entrust himself to them, because he understood every man.
[25]And he needed no man to testify to him concerning any man; for he knew well what was in man.
