John 2
Miracle at Cana
1 On athe third day there was a wedding in bCana of Galilee, and the cmother of Jesus was there; 2and both Jesus and His ddisciples were invited to the wedding. 3When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.” 4And Jesus *said to her, “ ▼▼Lit What to Me and to you (an ancient idiom)
,
fWhat business do you have with Me, gwoman? hMy hour has not yet come.” 5His imother *said to the servants, “Whatever He tells you, do it.” 6Now there were six stone waterpots standing there jfor the Jewish custom of purification, containing ▼▼About 18 or 27 gallons each; or 68 or 102 liters
two or three measures each. 7Jesus *said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. 8And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the ▼▼I.e., manager of the banquet
headwaiter.” And they took it to him. 9Now when the headwaiter tasted the water mwhich had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the groom, 10and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the guests nare drunk, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11This beginning of His ▼▼I.e., confirming miracles
,
psigns Jesus did in Cana of qGalilee, and revealed His rglory; and His disciples believed in Him. 12 After this He went down to sCapernaum, He and His tmother, and His ubrothers and His vdisciples; and they stayed there a few days. First Passover--Cleansing the Temple
13 wThe Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus xwent up to Jerusalem. 14 yAnd within the temple grounds He found those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15And He made a whip of ▼▼Or pieces of rope
cords, and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16and to those who were selling aathe doves He said, “Take these things away from here; stop making abMy Father’s house a ▼▼Lit house
place of business!” 17His addisciples remembered that it was written: “ aeZeal for Your house will consume me.” 18 afThe Jews then said to Him, “ agWhat sign do You show us ▼▼Lit that You do these
as your authority for doing these things?” 19Jesus answered them, “ aiDestroy this ▼▼Or sanctuary
temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 akThe Jews then said, “It took alforty-six years to build this ▼▼Or sanctuary
temple, and yet You will raise it up in three days?” 21But He was speaking about anthe ▼▼Or sanctuary
temple of His body. 22So when He was raised from the dead, His apdisciples aqremembered that He said this; and they believed arthe Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken. 23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at asthe Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name as they atobserved His signs which He was doing. 24But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, because auHe knew all people, 25and because He did not need anyone to testify about mankind, avfor He Himself knew what was in mankind.
