John 2
2On the third day of that week there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus' mother was there,G2532G5154G2250G1096G1062G1722G2580G1056G2532G3384G2424G2258G15632and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.G1161G2532G2424G2564G2532G846G3101G1519G10623When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They don't have any more wine."G2532G5302G3631G3384G2424G3004G4314G846G2192G3756G36314"How does that concern us, dear lady?" Jesus asked her. "My time hasn't come yet."G2424G3004G846G1135G5101G1698G2532G4671G3450G5610G2240G3768G22405His mother told the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."G846G3384G3004G1249G3748G302G3004G5213G41606Now standing there were six stone water jars used for the Jewish rites of purification, each one holding from20 to30 gallons.G1161G2258G2749G1563G1803G5201G3035G2596G2512G2453G5562G1417G2228G5140G3355G3037Jesus told the servants, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them up to the brim.G2424G3004G846G1072G5201G5204G2532G1072G846G1072G2193G5078Then he said to them, "Now draw some out and take it to the man in charge of the banquet." So they did.7G2532G3004G846G501G3568G2532G5342G755G2532G53429When the man in charge of the banquet tasted the water that had become wine (without knowing where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew), he called for the bridegroomG1161G5613G755G1089G5204G1096G3631G2532G1492G3756G4159G2076G1161G1249G3588G501G5204G1492G755G5455G356610and said to him, "Everyone serves the best wine first, and the cheap kind when people are drunk. But you have kept the best wine until now!"G2532G3004G846G3956G444G4412G5087G2570G3631G2532G3752G3184G5119G1640G4771G5083G2570G3631G2193G73711Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.G5026G746G4592G4160G2424G1722G2580G1056G2532G5319G846G1391G2532G846G3101G4100G1519G84612After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum - he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples - and they remained there for a few days.G3326G5124G2597G1519G2584G846G2532G846G3384G2532G846G80G2532G846G3101G2532G3306G1563G3756G4183G225013The Jewish Passover was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.G2532G2453G3957G2258G1451G2532G2424G305G1519G241414In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, as well as moneychangers sitting at their tables.G2532G2147G1722G2411G4453G1016G2532G4263G2532G4058G2532G2773G252115After making a whip out of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, including the sheep and the cattle. He scattered the coins of the moneychangers and knocked over their tables.G2532G4160G5416G1537G4979G1544G3956G1537G2411G5037G4263G2532G1016G2532G1632G2855G2772G2532G390G513216Then he told those who were selling the doves, "Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!"G2532G2036G4453G4058G142G5023G1782G4160G3361G3450G3962G3624G3624G171217His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."G1161G846G3101G3415G3754G2076G1125G2205G4675G3624G2719G3165G271918Then the Jews asked him, "What sign can you show us as authority for doing these things?"G3767G611G2453G2532G2036G846G5101G4592G1166G2254G3754G4160G502319Jesus answered them, "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will rebuild it."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G3089G5126G3485G2532G1722G5140G2250G1453G846G145320The Jews said, "This sanctuary has been under construction for46 years, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?"G3767G2036G2453G5062G2532G1803G2094G3618G3778G3485G3618G2532G1453G4771G1453G846G1453G1722G5140G225021But the sanctuary he was speaking about was his own body.G1161G1565G3004G4012G3485G846G498322After he had been raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. So they believed the Scripture and the statement that Jesus had made.G3753G3767G1453G1537G3498G846G3101G3415G3754G3004G5124G846G2532G4100G1124G2532G3056G3739G2424G203623While Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover Festival, many people believed in him because they saw the signs that he was doing.G1161G5613G2258G1722G2414G1722G3957G1722G1859G4183G4100G1519G846G3686G2334G846G4592G3739G416024Jesus, however, did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all peopleG1161G2424G846G4100G3756G4100G1438G846G1223G846G1097G395625and didn't need anyone to tell him what people were like, because he himself knew what was in every person.2G2532G3754G5532G2192G3756G2443G5100G3140G4012G444G1063G846G1097G5101G2258G1722G444
