< previous JOHN - CHAPTER TWO next >
1 The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there. 2 Jesus also was invited, with his
disciples, to the marriage. 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.” 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 threw 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.” Psalm 69:9
18 The Jews then 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 trust 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.
