John 2:1-17 ▼

1 And on the third day after, there was a marriage at Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.

2 And Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.

3 And the wine falling short, the mother of Jesus saith unto Him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? my time is not yet come.

5 His mother saith to the servants, Whatsoever he ordereth you to do, do it.

6 And there were six stone waterpots, placed according to the custom of purifying among the Jews, containing each about two or three firkins.

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water-pots with water: and they filled them up to the brim.

8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and carry it to the master of the feast. And they carried it to him.

9 And when the manager of the feast had tasted the water which was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the servants, that drew the water, knew,) he called the bride-groom,

10 and saith unto him, Every man sets out good wine at first, and when they have drank plentifully, then that which is worse; but thou hast keep the good wine till now.

11 This beginning of his miracles Jesus wrought at Cana of Galilee, and made manifest his glory: and his disciples believed on Him.

12 After this He went down to Capernaum, He and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they staid there not many days.

13 For the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those that sold oxen,

14 and sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting:

15 and having made a whip of small cords He drove them all, out of the temple; with the sheep and the oxen: and He poured out the changers money, and threw down the tables.

16 And said to them that sold doves, Take away these things from hence, and make not my Father's house an house of traffick.

17 And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
