| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine." |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4"Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come." |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now." |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a market!" |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17His disciples remembered that it is written: "Zeal for your house will consume me." |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18The Jews then responded to him, "What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?" |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20They replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?" |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21But the temple he had spoken of was his body. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person. |
