John Chapter 2 (NASB)
undefined
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
undefined
and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
undefined
When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, 'They have no wine.'
undefined
And Jesus said to her, 'Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come.'
undefined
His mother said to the servants, 'Whatever He says to you, do it.'
undefined
Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons each.
undefined
Jesus said to them, 'Fill the waterpots with water.' So they filled them up to the brim.
undefined
And He said to them, 'Draw [some] out now and take it to the headwaiter.' So they took it [to him].
undefined
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,
undefined
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.'
undefined
This beginning of [His] signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
undefined
After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and [His] brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
undefined
The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
undefined
And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated [at their tables].
undefined
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;
undefined
and to those who were selling the doves He said, 'Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business.'
undefined
His disciples remembered that it was written, 'ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME.'
undefined
The Jews then said to Him, 'What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?'
undefined
Jesus answered them, 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.'
undefined
The Jews then said, 'It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?'
undefined
But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
undefined
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.
undefined
Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.
undefined
But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,
undefined
and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.
