John:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And on the third day there was a marriage
feast in Cana of Galilee ;
and the mother of Jesus was there .
*
And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the feast .
*
And they had no wine ,
because the wine of the feast had failed .
Then the mother of Jesus saith to him ,
There is no wine .
*
Jesus saith to her ,
Woman ,
what have I to do with thee ?
My hour is not yet come .
*
His mother saith to the servants ,
Whatever he saith to you ,
do it .
*
Now there were set there six water
pots of stone ,
in conformity with the Jews
custom of purifying ,
containing two or three firkins apiece .
*
Jesus saith to them ,
Fill the water
pots with water .
And they filled them up to the brim .
*
And he saith to them ,
Draw out now ,
and bear it to the master of the feast .
And they bore it .
*
But when the master of the feast tasted the water that had been made wine ,
not knowing whence it was ,
but the servants who drew the water knew ,
he called the bridegroom
*
and said to him ,
Every man setteth on the good wine first ,
and when men have drunk freely ,
that which is worse .
Thou hast kept the good wine until now .
*
This beginning of the signs Jesus made in Cana of Galilee ,
and manifested his glory ;
and his disciples believed in him .
*
After this he went down to Capernaum ,
he and his mother ,
and his brothers ,
and his disciples ;
and they abode there not many days .
*
And the passover of the Jews was near ;
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem .
*
And he found in the temple those who sold oxen ,
and sheep ,
and doves ,
and the money
changers sitting .
*
And having made a scourge of cords ,
he drove them all out of the temple ,
both the sheep and the oxen ;
and poured out the money of the exchangers ,
and overthrew the tables ;
*
and said to those who sold the doves ,
Take these things hence ;
make not my Father
s house a house of merchandise .
*
His disciples remembered that it was written , "
Zeal for thy house will consume me ."
*
The Jews therefore answered and said to him ,
What sign dost thou show us ,
seeing thou doest these things ?
*
Jesus answered and said to them ,
Destroy this temple ,
and in three days I will raise it up .
*
Then said the Jews ,
Forty
six years was this temple in building ;
and wilt thou raise it up in three days ?
*
But he spoke of the temple of his body .
*
When therefore he had risen from the dead ,
his disciples remembered that he had said this ;
and they believed the Scripture ,
and the word which Jesus had spoken .
*
And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover ,
at the feast ,
many believed in his name ,
when they saw his signs which he wrought .
*
But Jesus did not trust himself to them ,
because he knew all men ;
*
and had no need that any one should testify concerning man ;
for he himself knew what was in man .
