2:1  On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

2:2  and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

2:3  When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, "They have no wine."

2:4  And Jesus *said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come."

2:5  His mother *said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."

2:6  Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons each.

2:7  Jesus *said to them, "Fill the waterpots with water. So they filled them up to the brim."

2:8  And He *said to them, "Draw {some} out now and take it to the headwaiter. So they took it {to him.}"

2:9  When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the bridegroom,

2:10  and *said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and when {the people} have drunk freely, {then he serves} the poorer {wine; but} you have kept the good wine until now."

2:11  This beginning of {His} signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

2:12  After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and {His} brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

2:13  The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2:14  And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated {at their tables.}

2:15  And He made a scourge of cords, and drove {them} all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;

2:16  and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business."

2:17  His disciples remembered that it was written, "ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME."

2:18  The Jews then said to Him, "What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?"

2:19  Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

2:20  The Jews then said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"

2:21  But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

2:22  So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

2:23  Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.

2:24  But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,

2:25  and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.
