John 2

1And the thirdG5154 dayG2250 there wasG1510 a marriageG1062 in CanaG2580 of GalileeG1056; and the motherG3384 of JesusG2424 wasG1510 there: 2and JesusG2424 alsoG2532 was bidden, and his disciplesG3101, to the marriageG1062. 3And when the wineG3631 failed, the motherG3384 of JesusG2424 saith unto him, They have no wineG3631. 4And JesusG2424 saith unto her, WomanG1135, what have I to do with thee? mineG1473 hourG5610 is not yet comeG2240. 5His motherG3384 saith unto the servantsG1249, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6NowG1161 there wereG1510 sixG1803 waterpots of stoneG3035 setG2749 there after the Jews’ manner of purifying, containing twoG1417 or threeG5140 firkins apiece. 7JesusG2424 saith unto them, FillG1072 the waterpots with waterG5204. And they filledG1072 them up to the brim. 8And he saith unto them, DrawG501 out nowG1161, and bearG5342 unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it. 9And whenG5613 the ruler of the feast tastedG1089 the waterG5204 nowG1161 becomeG1096 wineG3631, and knew not whence it wasG1510 (but the servantsG1249 that had drawnG501 the waterG5204 knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroomG3566, 10and saith unto him, Every manG444 setteth on firstG4413 the goodG2570 wineG3631; and whenG3752 menG444 have drunkG3184 freely, then that which is worse: thou hast keptG5083 the goodG2570 wineG3631 until now. 11This beginning of his signsG4592 did JesusG2424 in CanaG2580 of GalileeG1056, and manifestedG5319 his gloryG1391; and his disciplesG3101 believedG4100 on him.

12After this he wentG2597 downG2597 to CapernaumG2584, he, and his motherG3384, andhisbrethren, and his disciplesG3101; and there they abode not manyG4183 daysG2250.

13And the passoverG3957 of the JewsG2453 wasG1510 at hand, and JesusG2424 wentG305 up to JerusalemG2414. 14And he foundG2147 in the temple those that soldG4453 oxenG1016 and sheepG4263 and dovesG4058, and the changers of money sittingG2521: 15and he madeG4160 a scourge of cords, and castG1544 all out of the temple, both the sheepG4263 and the oxenG1016; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tablesG5132; 16and to them that soldG4453 the dovesG4058 he saidG3004, TakeG142 these thingsG3778 hence; makeG4160 not my Father’s houseG3624 a houseG3624 of merchandise. 17His disciplesG3101 rememberedG3403 that it wasG1510 writtenG1125, ZealG2205 for thy houseG3624 shall eat me up. 18The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, What signG4592 showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these thingsG3778? 19JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, DestroyG3089 this templeG3485, and in threeG5140 daysG2250 I will raiseG1453 it up. 20The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 saidG3004, FortyG5062 and sixG1803 yearsG2094 was this templeG3485 in buildingG3618, and wilt thou raiseG1453 it up in threeG5140 daysG2250? 21But he spake of the templeG3485 of his bodyG4983. 22WhenG3753 thereforeG3767 he was raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, his disciplesG3101 rememberedG3403 that he spake this; and they believedG4100 the scriptureG1124, and the wordG3056 which JesusG2424 had saidG3004.

23NowG1161 whenG5613 he wasG1510 in JerusalemG2414 at the passoverG3957, during the feastG1859, manyG4183 believedG4100 on his nameG3686, beholding his signsG4592 which he did. 24But JesusG2424 did not trust himself unto them, for that he knewG1097 all men, 25and because he neededG5532 not that any oneG5100 should bearG3140 witnessG3140 concerningG4012 manG444; for he himself knewG1097 what wasG1510 in manG444.
