* Three days after , there was a marriage in Cana , of Galilee , and the mother of Jesus was there . * Jesus , also , and his disciples , were invited to the marriage . * The wine falling short , the mother of Jesus said to him , They have no wine . * Jesus answered , * His mother said to the servants , Do whatever he shall bid you . * Now there were six water pots of stone , containing two or three baths each , placed there for the Jewish rites of cleansing . * Jesus said to them , And they filled them to the brim . * Then he said , And they did so . * When the director of the feast had tasted the wine made of water , not knowing whence it was , (but the servants who drew the water knew ,) * he said , addressing the bridegroom , Every person presents the best wine first , and worse wine afterward , when the guests have drunk largely ; but you have reserved the best till now . * This first miracle Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee , displaying his glory : and his disciples believed on him . * Afterward , he went to Capernaum , he and his mother , and his brothers , and his disciples ; but they staid not there many days . * And the Jewish passover being nigh , Jesus went to Jerusalem ; * and finding changers sitting in the temple , and people who sold cattle and sheep , and doves ; * he made a whip of cords , and drove them all out of the temple , with the sheep and cattle , scattering the coin of the changers , and oversetting their tables . * and he said to them , who sold doves , * «(Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture ,'My zeal for thy house consumes me .')» * Therefore , the Jews answered , and said to him , By what miracle do you show us your title to do these things ? * Jesus answering , said to them , * The Jews replied , Forty and six years was this temple in building ; and you would rear it in three days ? * (But , by the temple , he meant his body .) * When , therefore , he was risen from the dead , his disciples remembered that he had said this , and they understood the scripture , and the word which Jesus had spoken . * While he was at Jerusalem , during the feast of the passover , many believed on him , when they saw the miracles which he performed . * But Jesus did not trust himself with them , because he knew them all . * He needed not to receive from others a character of any man , for he knew what was in man .
