John 2
1
And on the third day there was◦ a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2
And◦ both Jesus was called and His disciples to◦ the wedding.
3
And when the wine was··lacking, the mother of Jesus says to Him, They have no wine.
4
Jesus says to her, What◦ is there to··Me and to··thee1, woman? My hour is not··yet come◦.
5
His mother says to those··ministering, Whatever◦ He shall say to··you, do.
6
And◦ there were set there six waterpots of··stone, according··to the purification of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.
7
Jesus says to them, Fill◦ the waterpots with water. And they filled◦ them up··to the top.
8
And He says to them, Draw◦ out now, and bring to the chief··of··the··feast; and they brought it.
9
And◦ when◦ the chief··of··the··feast had tasted the water that was··made◦ wine, and knew◦ not whence it was (but◦ those··ministering who drew◦ the water knew◦), the chief··of··the··feast calls◦ the bridegroom,
10
and says to him, Every man first puts··out the good◦ wine, and when they have had enough2, then the lesser; thou hast kept the good◦ wine until now◦.
11
This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in◦ Him.
12
After this He came··down into Capernaum, He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and there they remained not many days.
13
And the Passover of the Jews was near; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14
and found in the temple those who sold oxen◦ and sheep and doves, and the coin··merchants, sitting.
15
And having made a whip out··of cords, He cast· them all ·out of◦ the temple, and▵ the sheep, and the oxen◦, and spilled··out the coin of the money-changers, and overturned the tables.
16
And to those selling doves, He said◦, Take· these ·away◦ from··here! Make not◦ My Father’s house a house of merchandise.
17
And◦ His disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of Thy house has eaten me up.3
18
Then answered the Jews and said to Him, What sign dost Thou show us that Thou doest these things?
19
Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple◦, and in three days I will raise it up.
20
Then the Jews said◦, Forty and six years was this temple◦ in building, and wilt Thou raise it up in three days?
21
But◦ He was speaking of the temple◦ of His body.
22
When therefore He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
23
And◦ when◦ He was in Jerusalem at▫ the Passover, at▫ the festival, many believed in◦ His name, beholding His signs which He did.
24
But◦ Jesus did not entrust4 Himself to them, because He knew all men,
25
and needed not that any should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.
1i.e., in common
2as in AR 316:3 and AE 376:29, but literally, “are··drunken”
3Psalm 69:9
4“Entrust” is the same word as “believed” in the previous verse.
