The Wedding at Cana

¹ And on ^(C1)the third day there was a wedding in ^(C2)Cana of Galilee, and the ^(C3)mother of Jesus was there;² and both Jesus and His ^(C1)disciples were invited to the wedding.³ And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus ^(*)said to Him, "They have no wine."⁴ And Jesus ^(*)said to her, "^(C1)Woman, ^(F1)(C2)what do I have to do with you? ^(C3)My hour has not yet come."⁵ His ^(C1)mother ^(*)said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."⁶ Now there were six stone water jars set there ^(C1)for the Jewish custom of purification, containing ^(F1)two or three measures each.⁷ Jesus ^(*)said to them, "Fill the water jars with water." So they filled them up to the brim.⁸ And He ^(*)said to them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." So they took it to him.⁹ Now when the headwaiter tasted the water ^(C1)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,¹⁰ and ^(*)said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people ^(C1)have ^(F1)drunk freely, then the inferior wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."¹¹ Jesus did this in Cana of ^(C1)Galilee as the beginning of His ^(F1)(C2)signs, and manifested His ^(C3)glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

¹² After this He went down to ^(C1)Capernaum, He and His ^(C2)mother and His ^(C2)brothers and His ^(C3)disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

^13 (C1)And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus ^(C2)went up to Jerusalem.^14 (C1)And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.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;¹⁶ and to those who were selling ^(C1)the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making ^(C2)My Father's house a ^(F1)place of business."¹⁷ His ^(C1)disciples remembered that it was written, "^(C2)ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME."^18 (C1)The Jews then said to Him, "^(C2)What sign do You show us ^(F1)as your authority for doing these things?"¹⁹ Jesus answered them, "^(C1)Destroy this ^(F1)sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."^20 (C1)The Jews then said, "It took ^(C2)forty-six years to build this sanctuary, and will You raise it up in three days?"²¹ But He was speaking about ^(C1)the sanctuary of His body.²² So when He was raised from the dead, His ^(C1)disciples ^(C2)remembered that He said this; and they believed ^(C3)the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

²³ Now when He was in Jerusalem at ^(C1)the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, ^(C2)when they saw His signs which He was doing.²⁴ But Jesus, ^(F1)on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for ^(C1)He knew all men,²⁵ and because He had no need that anyone bear witness concerning man, ^(C1)for He Himself knew what was in man.
