¹The third day , there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee . Jesus ’ mother was there .

²Jesus also was invited , with his disciples , to the wedding .

³When the wine ran out , Jesus ’ mother said to him , “They have no wine .”

⁴Jesus said to her , “ Woman , what does that have to do with you and me ? My hour has not yet come .”

⁵His mother said to the servants , “Whatever he says to you , do it .”

⁶Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews ’ way of purifying , containing two or three metretes apiece.[#2:6 2 to 3 metretes is about 20 to 30 U. S. Gallons, or 75 to 115 litres.]

⁷Jesus said to them , “ Fill the water pots with water .” So they filled them up to the brim.

⁸He said to them , “ Now draw some out , and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it .

⁹When 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

¹⁰and 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 !”

¹¹This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee , and revealed his glory ; and his disciples believed in him .

¹²After this , he went down to Capernaum , he , and his mother , his brothers, and his disciples ; and they stayed there a few days .

¹³The Passover of the Jews was at hand , and Jesus went up to Jerusalem .

¹⁴He found in the temple those who sold oxen , sheep , and doves , and the changers of money sitting .

¹⁵He 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 .

¹⁶To those who sold the doves , he said , “ Take these things out of here ! Don’ t make my Father ’s house a marketplace!”

¹⁷His disciples remembered that it was written , “Zeal for your house will eat me up .”[#Psalms 69:9]

¹⁸The Jews therefore answered him , “What sign do you show us , seeing that you do these things ?”

¹⁹Jesus answered them , “ Destroy this temple , and in three days I will raise it up .”

²⁰The Jews therefore said , “It took forty-six years to build this temple ! Will you raise it up in three days ?”

²¹But he spoke of the temple of his body .

²²When 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 .

²³Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover , during the feast , many believed in his name , observing his signs which he did .

²⁴But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them , because he knew everyone ,

²⁵and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man ; for he himself knew what was in man .
