John 2:8-25

8And He saidG3004 to them, “DrawG501 some out nowG3568 and takeG5342 it to the 1headwaiterG755.” SoG1161 they tookG5342 it to him. 9WhenG5613 the headwaiterG755 tastedG1089 the waterG5204 2which had becomeG1096 wineG3631, and did not knowG3609 whereG4159 it cameG1510 from (but the servantsG1249 who had drawnG501 the waterG5204 knewG3609), the headwaiterG755 calledG5455 the bridegroomG3566, 10and saidG3004 to him, “EveryG3956 manG444 servesG5087 the goodG2570 wineG3631 firstG4413, and whenG3752 the people 3have 4drunkG3184 freelyG3184, then he serves the poorerG1640 wine; but you have keptG5083 the goodG2570 wineG3631 untilG2193 nowG737.” 11ThisG3778 beginningG746 of His 56signsG4592 JesusG2424 didG4160 in CanaG2580 of 7GalileeG1056, and manifestedG5319 His 8gloryG1391, and His disciplesG3101 believedG4100 in Him.

12AfterG3326 thisG3778 He wentG2597 downG2597 to 9CapernaumG2746, He and His 10motherG3384 and His 11brothersG80 and His 12disciplesG3101; and they stayedG3306 thereG1563 a fewG3756G4183 daysG2250.

1313The PassoverG3957 of the JewsG2453 was nearG1451, and JesusG2424 14wentG305 up to JerusalemG2414. 1415And He foundG2147 in the templeG2413 thoseG3588 who were sellingG4453 oxenG1016 and sheepG4263 and dovesG4058, and the moneyG2773 changersG2773 seatedG2521 at their tables. 15And He madeG4160 a scourgeG5416 of cordsG4979, and droveG1544 them allG3956 out of the templeG2413, with the sheepG4263 and the oxenG1016; and He pouredG1632 out the coinsG2772 of the moneyG2855 changersG2855 and overturnedG396 their tablesG5132; 16and to thoseG3588 who were sellingG4453 16the dovesG4058 He saidG3004, “TakeG142 theseG3778 thingsG3778 awayG142; stopG3361 makingG4160 17My Father’sG3962 houseG3624 a 18placeG3624 of businessG1712.” 17His 19disciplesG3101 rememberedG3403 that it was writtenG1125, “20ZealG2205 for Your houseG3624 will consumeG2719 me.” 1821The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004 to Him, “22WhatG5101 signG4592 do You showG1166 us 23as your authority for doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778?” 19JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “24DestroyG3089 thisG3778 25templeG3485, and in threeG5140 daysG2250 I will raiseG1453 it up.” 2026The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004, “It took 27forty-sixG5065G2532G1803 yearsG2094 to buildG3618 thisG3778 28templeG3485, and will You raiseG1453 it up in threeG5140 daysG2250?” 21But He was speakingG3004 of 29the 30templeG3485 of His bodyG4983. 22SoG3767 whenG3753 He was raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, His 31disciplesG3101 32rememberedG3403 that He saidG3004 thisG3778; and they believedG4100 33the ScriptureG1124 and the wordG3056 whichG3739 JesusG2424 had spokenG3004.

23NowG1161 whenG5613 He was in JerusalemG2414 at 34the PassoverG3957, duringG1722 the feastG1859, manyG4183 believedG4100 in His nameG3686, 35observingG2334 His signsG4592 whichG3739 He was doingG4160. 24But JesusG2424, on His partG846, was not entrustingG4100 HimselfG846 to them, for 36He knewG1097 allG3956 menG3956, 25and becauseG3754 He did not needG5532 anyoneG5100 to testifyG3140 concerningG4012 manG444, 37for He HimselfG846 knewG1097 whatG5101 was in manG444.
