* And (note :)Christ , declaring openly in an assembly by a notable miracle that he has power over the nature of things to feed man 's body , leads the minds of all men to consider his spiritual and saving strength and power .(:note ) the After the talk which he had with Nathanael , or after his departure from John , or after he came into Galilee . third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee ; and the mother of Jesus was there : * And Iesus was called also , and his disciples vnto the mariage . * * Jesus saith unto her , Woman , what have I to do with thee ? mine (note :)My appointed time .(:note ) hour is not yet come . * His mother saide vnto the seruants , Whatsoeuer he sayeth vnto you , doe it . * And there were set there six (note :)These were vessels made for the use of water , in which they washed themselves .(:note ) waterpots of stone , after the manner of the purifying of the Jews , containing two or three Every firkin contained one hundred pounds , at twelve ounces a pound : By this we gather that Christ helps them with one thousand and eight hundred pounds of wine . (about 135 imperial gallons or 600 litres Ed .) firkins apiece . * And Iesus sayde vnto them , Fill the waterpots with water . Then they filled them vp to the brim . * Then he sayde vnto them , Draw out nowe and beare vnto the gouernour of the feast . So they bare it . * Nowe when the gouernour of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine , (for he knewe not whence it was : but the seruants , which drewe the water , knewe ) the gouernour of ye feast called the bridegrome , * And saith unto him , Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine ; and when men have (note :)Literally , «are drunken ». Now this saying , to be drunken , does not always refer to being drunk in the evil sense in the Hebrew language , but sometimes signifies an abundant and plentiful use of wine , which is nonetheless a measured amount , as in ( Gen_43:34 ).(:note ) well drunk , then that which is worse : [but ] thou hast kept the good wine until now . * This beginning of miracles did Iesus in Cana a towne of Galile , and shewed forth his glorie : and his disciples beleeued on him . * After this he went down to Capernaum , he , and his mother , and his (note :)That is , his cousins .(:note ) brethren , and his disciples : and they continued there not many days . * * * Then hee made a scourge of small cordes , and draue them all out of the Temple with the sheepe and oxen , and powred out the changers money , and ouerthrewe the tables , * And said vnto them that solde doues , Take these things hence : make not my fathers house , an house of marchandise . * And his disciples remembered that it was written , The (note :)«Zeal » in this place is taken for a wrathful indignation and displeasure of the mind , brought about when someone deals wickedly and evilly towards those whom we love well .(:note ) zeal of thine house hath eaten me up . * * Iesus answered , and said vnto them , Destroy this Temple , and in three daies I will raise it vp againe . * Then said the Iewes , Fourtie &amp ; sixe yeeres was this Temple a building , and wilt thou reare it vp in three daies ? * But he spake of the (note :)That is , of his body .(:note ) temple of his body . * Assoone therefore as he was risen from the dead , his disciples remembred that hee thus sayde vnto them : and they beleeued the Scripture , and the worde which Iesus had saide . * Nowe when hee was at Hierusalem at the Passeouer in the feast , many beleeued in his Name , when they sawe his miracles which he did . * *
