II.—The Work in Judaea, Galilee, and Samaria.
note
1 Two days after this there was a wedding at
Cana in Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there.
2 Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was
invited to the wedding.
3 And, when the wine ran short, his
mother said to him: “They have no wine left.”
4 “What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My
time has not come yet.”
5 His mother said to the servants: “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance
with the Jewish rule of ‘purification,’ each holding twenty or
thirty gallons.
7 Jesus said to the servants: “Fill the water-jars with water;”
and,
8 when they had filled them to the brim, he added:
“Now take some out, and carry it to the Master of the Feast.”
The servants did so.
9 And, when the Master of the Feast had
tasted the water which had now become wine, not knowing
where it had come from—although the servants who had taken
10 out the water knew—he called the bridegroom and said to him:
“Every one puts good wine on the table first, and
inferior wine afterwards, when his guests have drunk freely;
but you have kept back the good wine till now!”
11 This, the first sign of his mission, Jesus gave at Cana in
Galilee, and by it revealed his glory; and his disciples
believed in him.
note
12 After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum—
he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples;
but they stayed there only a few days.
note
13 Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus
went up to Jerusalem.
14 In the Temple Courts he
found people who were selling bullocks, sheep,
and pigeons, and the money-changers at their counters.
15 So
he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the Temple
-- --
Courts, and the sheep and bullocks as well; he scattered the
money of the money-changers, and overturned their tables,
and said to the pigeon-dealers:
16
“Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's House
into a market-house.”
17 His disciples remembered that Scripture said—
‘Zeal for thy House will consume me.’ note
18 Upon this the Jews asked Jesus:
“What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this
way?”
19 “Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it
in three days.” note
20 “This Temple,” replied the Jews, “has been forty-six years
in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
21
22 But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple. ⪆⪆Afterwards,
when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered
that he had said this; and they believed the passage of
Scripture, and the words which Jesus had spoken.
23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem, during the Passover Festival,
many came to trust in him, when they saw the signs of his
mission that he was giving.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself
to them,
25 since he could read every heart, and because he did
not need that others should tell him what men were; for he
could of himself read what was in men.
