2:1 And on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

2:2 And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.

2:3 And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.

2:4 Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come.

2:5 His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do.

2:6 Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each.

2:7 Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

2:8 And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry [it] to the feast-master. And they carried [it].

2:9 But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,

2:10 and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when [men] have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now.

2:11 This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

2:12 After this he descended to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.

2:13 And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2:14 And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting;

2:15 and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast [them] all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,

2:16 and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

2:17 [And] his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.

2:18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

2:20 The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days?

2:21 But *he* spoke of the temple of his body.

2:22 When therefore he was raised from among [the] dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

2:23 And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought.

2:24 But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all [men],

2:25 and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.
