The Gospel According to Saint John, Chapter 2
|
1 |
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the
mother of Jesus was there:
|
2 |
And both Jesus was called, and his
disciples, to the marriage.
|
3 |
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him,
They have no wine.
|
4 |
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine
hour is not yet come.
|
5 |
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you,
do it.
|
6 |
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner
of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
|
7 |
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they
filled them up to the brim.
|
8 |
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor
of the feast. And they bare it.
|
9 |
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made
wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the
water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
|
10 |
And
saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine;
and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast
kept the good wine until now.
|
11 |
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
|
12 |
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his
brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
|
13 |
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.
|
14 |
And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves,
and the changers of money sitting:
|
15 |
And when he had made a scourge
of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep,
and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the
tables;
|
16 |
And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things
hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
|
17 |
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of
thine house hath eaten me up.
|
18 |
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou
unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
|
19 |
Jesus answered and
said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it
up.
|
20 |
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in
building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
|
21 |
But he spake
of the temple of his body.
|
22 |
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the
scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
|
23 |
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day,
many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
|
24 |
But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all
men,
|
25 |
And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew
what was in man.
