Geneva1599 - John - 2

2:1  And the thirde day, was there a mariage in Cana a towne of Galile, and the mother of Iesus was there.

2:2  And Iesus was called also, and his disciples vnto the mariage.

2:3  Nowe when the wine failed, the mother of Iesus saide vnto him, They haue no wine.

2:4  Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, what haue I to doe with thee? mine houre is not yet come.

2:5  His mother saide vnto the seruants, Whatsoeuer he sayeth vnto you, doe it.

2:6  And there were set there, sixe waterpots of stone, after the maner of the purifying of the Iewes, conteining two or three firkins a piece.

2:7  And Iesus sayde vnto them, Fill the waterpots with water. Then they filled them vp to the brim.

2:8  Then he sayde vnto them, Draw out nowe and beare vnto the gouernour of the feast. So they bare it.

2:9  Nowe when the gouernour of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he knewe not whence it was: but the seruants, which drewe the water, knewe) the gouernour of ye feast called the bridegrome,

2:10  And saide vnto him, All men at the beginning set foorth good wine, and when men haue well drunke, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept backe the good wine vntill nowe.

2:11  This beginning of miracles did Iesus in Cana a towne of Galile, and shewed forth his glorie: and his disciples beleeued on him.

2:12  After that, he went downe into Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they continued not many daies there.

2:13  For the Iewes Passeouer was at hande. Therefore Iesus went vp to Hierusalem.

2:14  And he found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheepe, and doues, and changers of money, sitting there.

2:15  Then hee made a scourge of small cordes, and draue them all out of the Temple with the sheepe and oxen, and powred out the changers money, and ouerthrewe the tables,

2:16  And said vnto them that solde doues, Take these things hence: make not my fathers house, an house of marchandise.

2:17  And his disciples remembred, that it was written, The zeale of thine house hath eaten me vp.

2:18  Then answered the Iewes, and saide vnto him, What signe shewest thou vnto vs, that thou doest these things?

2:19  Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Destroy this Temple, and in three daies I will raise it vp againe.

2:20  Then said the Iewes, Fourtie and sixe yeeres was this Temple a building, and wilt thou reare it vp in three daies?

2:21  But he spake of the temple of his bodie.

2:22  Assoone therefore as he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that hee thus sayde vnto them: and they beleeued the Scripture, and the worde which Iesus had saide.

2:23  Nowe when hee was at Hierusalem at the Passeouer in the feast, many beleeued in his Name, when they sawe his miracles which he did.

2:24  But Iesus did not commit him selfe vnto them, because he knewe them all,

2:25  And had no neede that any should testifie of man: for he knewe what was in man.
