LO - John - 2

2:1  Three days after, there was a marriage in Cana, of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

2:2  Jesus, also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.

2:3  The wine falling short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

2:4  Jesus answered, Woman, what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come.

2:5  His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he shall bid you.

2:6  Now there were six water pots of stone, containing two or three baths each, placed there for the Jewish rites of cleansing.

2:7  Jesus said to them, Fill the pots with water. And they filled them to the brim.

2:8  Then he said, Draw, now, and carry to the director of the feast. And they did so.

2:9  When the director of the feast had tasted the wine made of water, not knowing whence it was, (but the servants who drew the water knew,)

2:10  he said, addressing the bridegroom, Every person presents the best wine first, and worse wine afterward, when the guests have drunk largely; but you have reserved the best till now.

2:11  This first miracle Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, displaying his glory: and his disciples believed on him.

2:12  Afterward, he went to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; but they staid not there many days.

2:13  And the Jewish passover being nigh, Jesus went to Jerusalem;

2:14  and finding changers sitting in the temple, and people who sold cattle and sheep, and doves;

2:15  he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and cattle, scattering the coin of the changers, and oversetting their tables.

2:16  and he said to them, who sold doves, Take these things hence. Make not my Father's house a house of traffic.

2:17  (Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture, "My zeal for thy house consumes me.")

2:18  Therefore, the Jews answered, and said to him, By what miracle do you show us your title to do these things?

2:19  Jesus answering, said to them, Destroy this temple, and I will rear it again in three days.

2:20  The Jews replied, Forty and six years was this temple in building; and you would rear it in three days?

2:21  (But, by the temple, he meant his body.)

2:22  When, therefore, he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they understood the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

2:23  While he was at Jerusalem, during the feast of the passover, many believed on him, when they saw the miracles which he performed.

2:24  But Jesus did not trust himself with them, because he knew them all.

2:25  He needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.
