1On 1the thirdG5154 dayG2250 there was a weddingG1062 in 2CanaG2580 of GalileeG1056, and the 3motherG3384 of JesusG2424 was thereG1563; 2and bothG2532 JesusG2424 and His 4disciplesG3101 were invitedG2564 to the weddingG1062. 3When the wineG3631 ranG5302 outG5302, the motherG3384 of JesusG2424 saidG3004 to Him, “They haveG2192 noG3756 wineG3631.” 4And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “56WhatG5101 business do you have with Me, 7womanG1135? 8My hourG5610 hasG2240 not yetG3768 comeG2240.” 5His 9motherG3384 saidG3004 to the servantsG1249, “WhateverG3739G5100G302 He tellsG3004 you, doG4160 it.” 6NowG1161 there were sixG1803 stoneG3035 waterpotsG5201 standingG2749 thereG1563 10for the JewishG2453 customG2512 ofG2512 purificationG2512, containingG5562 11twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 measuresG3355 eachG303. 7JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “FillG1072 the waterpotsG5201 with waterG5204.” SoG2532 they filledG1072 them up to the brimG507. 8And He saidG3004 to them, “DrawG501 some outG501 nowG3568 and takeG5342 it to the 12headwaiterG755.” And they tookG5342 it to him. 9NowG1161 whenG5613 the headwaiterG755 tastedG1089 the waterG5204 13which had becomeG1096 wineG3631, and did not knowG3609 whereG4159 it cameG1510 from (but the servantsG1249 who had drawnG501 the waterG5204 knewG3609), the headwaiterG755 calledG5455 the groomG3566, 10and saidG3004 to him, “EveryG3956 manG444 servesG5087 the goodG2570 wineG3631 firstG4413, and whenG3752 the guests 14areG3184 drunkG3184, then he serves the poorerG1640 wine; but you have keptG5083 the goodG2570 wineG3631 untilG2193 nowG737.” 11ThisG3778 beginningG746 of His 1516signsG4592 JesusG2424 didG4160 in CanaG2580 of 17GalileeG1056, and revealedG5319 His 18gloryG1391; and His disciplesG3101 believedG4100 in Him.

12AfterG3326 thisG3778 He wentG2597 downG2597 to 19CapernaumG2746, He and His 20motherG3384, and His 21brothersG80 and His 22disciplesG3101; and they stayedG3306 thereG1563 a fewG3756G4183 daysG2250.

First Passover--Cleansing the Temple

1323The PassoverG3957 of the JewsG2453 was nearG1451, and JesusG2424 24wentG305 upG305 to JerusalemG2414. 1425And withinG1722 the templeG2413 grounds He foundG2147 thoseG3588 who were sellingG4453 oxenG1016, sheepG4263, and dovesG4058, and the moneyG2773 changersG2773 seatedG2521 at their tables. 15And He madeG4160 a whipG5416 of 26cordsG4979, and droveG1544 them allG3956 outG1544 of the templeG2413 area, with the sheepG4263 and the oxenG1016; and He pouredG1632 outG1632 the coinsG2772 of the moneyG2855 changersG2855 and overturnedG396 their tablesG5132; 16and to thoseG3588 who were sellingG4453 27the dovesG4058 He saidG3004, “TakeG142 theseG3778 thingsG3778 awayG142 fromG1782 hereG1782; stopG3361 makingG4160 28My Father’sG3962 houseG3624 a 29placeG3624 of businessG1712!” 17His 30disciplesG3101 rememberedG3403 that it was writtenG1125: “31ZealG2205 for Your houseG3624 will consumeG2719 me.” 1832The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004 to Him, “33WhatG5101 signG4592 do You showG1166 us 34as Your authority for doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778?” 19JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “35DestroyG3089 thisG3778 36templeG3485, and in threeG5140 daysG2250 I will raiseG1453 it upG1453.” 2037The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004, “It took 38forty-sixG5065G2532G1803 yearsG2094 to buildG3618 thisG3778 39templeG3485, and yet You will raiseG1453 it upG1453 in threeG5140 daysG2250?” 21But He was speakingG3004 aboutG4012 40the 41templeG3485 of His bodyG4983. 22SoG3767 whenG3753 He was raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, His 42disciplesG3101 43rememberedG3403 that He saidG3004 thisG3778; and they believedG4100 44the ScriptureG1124 and the wordG3056 whichG3739 JesusG2424 had spokenG3004.

23NowG1161 whenG5613 He was in JerusalemG2414 at 45the PassoverG3957, duringG1722 the feastG1859, manyG4183 believedG4100 in His nameG3686 as they 46observedG2334 His signsG4592 whichG3739 He was doingG4160. 24But JesusG2424, on His partG846, was not entrustingG4100 HimselfG846 to them, becauseG1223 47He knewG1097 allG3956 peopleG3956, 25and becauseG3754 He did not needG5532 anyoneG5100 to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 mankindG444, 48for He HimselfG846 knewG1097 whatG5101 was in mankindG444.
