Chapter 2

  And on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.  

--

  And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.  

--

  And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.  

--

  Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come.  

--

  His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do.  

--

  Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each.  

--

  Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.  

--

  And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry [it] to the feast-master. And they carried [it].  

--

  But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,  

--

  and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when [men] have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now.  

--

  This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.  

--

  After this he descended to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.  

--

  And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.  

--

  And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting;  

--

  and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast [them] all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,  

--

  and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.  

--

  [And] his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.  

--

  The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?  

--

  Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.  

--

  The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days?  

--

  But he spoke of the temple of his body.  

--

  When therefore he was raised from among [the] dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.  

--

  And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought.  

--

  But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all [men],  

--

  and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.
