CHAP. II.
Christ changes water into
wine: He casts the sellers
out of the temple.
1 And the third day there
was a marriage in Cana
of Galilee: and the mother of
Jesus was there.
2 And Jesus also was invited,
and his disciples, to the
marriage.
3 And the wine failing, the
mother of Jesus saith to him:
They have no wine.
4 And Jesus saith to her:
Woman, note what is to me
and to thee? my hour is not
yet come.
5 His mother saith to the
waiters: Whatsoever he shall
say to you, do ye.
6 Now there were set there
six water-pots of stone, according
to the manner of the
purifying of the Jews, containing
two or three measures
a piece.
7 Jesus saith to them:
Fill the water-pots with water.
And they filled them up
to the brim.
8 And Jesus saith to
them: Draw out now, and
carry to the chief steward of
the feast. And they carried it.
9 And when the chief
steward had tasted the water
made wine, and knew not
whence it was, but the waiters
knew who had drawn the
water; the chief steward calleth
the bridegroom,
10 And saith to him:
Every man at first setteth forth
good wine, and when men
have well drank, then that
which is worse. But thou hast
kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles
did Jesus in Cana of
Galilee: and he manifested his
glory, and his disciples believed
in him.
12 After this he went
down to Capharnaum, he and
his mother, and his brethren,
and his disciples; and they
remained there not many
days.

13 And the pasch of the
Jews was at hand, and Jesus
went up to Jerusalem:
14 And he found in the
temple them that sold oxen
and sheep and doves, and the
changers of money sitting.
15 And when he had made
as it were a scourge of little
cords, he drove them all out
of the temple, the sheep also
and the oxen, and he poured
out the changers money, and
the tables he overthrew.
16 And he said to them
that sold doves: Take these
things hence, and make not
the house of my Father, a
house of traffick.
17 And his disciples remembred
that it was written:
The zeal of thy house hath
eaten me up.
18 Then the Jews answered,
and said to him: What
sign dost thou shew us, seeing
thou dost these things.
19 Jesus answered, and
said to them: Destroy this
temple, and in three days I
will raise it up.
20 The Jews then said: Six
and forty years was this temple
in building, and wilt thou raise
it up in three days?
21 But he spoke of the
temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was
risen again from the dead, his
disciples remembred, that he
had said this, and they believed
the scripture, and the
word that Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was at
Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon
the festival day, many believed
in his name, seeing his miracles,
which he did.
24 But Jesus did not trust
himself to them, because he
knew all men,
25 And because he needed
not that any should give testimony
of man: for he knew
what was in man.
