1On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:Select John 2:1

2And Jesus with his disciples came as guests.Select John 2:2

3When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.Select John 2:3

4Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come.Select John 2:4

5His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.Select John 2:5

6Now six pots of stone, every one taking two or three firkins of water, were placed there for the purpose of washing, as is the way of the Jews.Select John 2:6

7Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.Select John 2:7

8Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.Select John 2:8

9After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,Select John 2:9

10And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.Select John 2:10

11This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.Select John 2:11

12After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.Select John 2:12

13The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.Select John 2:13

14And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:Select John 2:14

15And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables;Select John 2:15

16And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.Select John 2:16

17And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.Select John 2:17

18Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?Select John 2:18

19And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.Select John 2:19

20The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!Select John 2:20

21But his words were about that holy building which was his body.Select John 2:21

22So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.Select John 2:22

23Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.Select John 2:23

24But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.Select John 2:24

25He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.Select John 2:25
