John:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee ;
and the mother of Jesus was there :
*
And both Jesus was called ,
and his disciples ,
to the marriage .
*
And when they wanted wine ,
the mother of Jesus saith unto him ,
They have no wine .
*
Jesus saith unto her ,
Woman ,
what have I to do with thee ?
mine hour is not yet come .
*
His mother saith unto the servants ,
Whatsoever he saith unto you ,
do it .
*
And there were set there six waterpots of stone ,
after the manner of the purifying of the Jews ,
containing two or three firkins apiece .
*
Jesus saith unto them ,
Fill the waterpots with water .
And they filled them up to the brim .
*
And he saith unto them ,
Draw out now ,
and bear unto the governor of the feast .
And they bare it .
*
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine ,
and knew not whence it was : (
but the servants which drew the water knew ;)
the governor of the feast called the bridegroom ,
*
And saith unto him ,
Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine ;
and when men have well drunk ,
then that which is worse :
but thou hast kept the good wine until now .
*
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee ,
and manifested forth his glory ;
and his disciples believed on him .
*
After this he went down to Capernaum ,
he ,
and his mother ,
and his brethren ,
and his disciples :
and they continued there not many days .
*
And the Jews '
passover was at hand ,
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem ,
*
And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves ,
and the changers of money sitting :
*
And when he had made a scourge of small cords ,
he drove them all out of the temple ,
and the sheep ,
and the oxen ;
and poured out the changers '
money ,
and overthrew the tables ;
*
And said unto them that sold doves ,
Take these things hence ;
make not my Father '
s house an house of merchandise .
*
And his disciples remembered that it was written ,
The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up .
*
Then answered the Jews and said unto him ,
What sign shewest thou unto us ,
seeing that thou doest these things ?
*
Jesus answered and said unto them ,
Destroy this temple ,
and in three days I will raise it up .
*
Then said the Jews ,
Forty and six years was this temple in building ,
and wilt thou rear it up in three days ?
*
But he spake of the temple of his body .
*
When therefore he was risen from the dead ,
his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them ;
and they believed the scripture ,
and the word which Jesus had said .
*
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover ,
in the feast day ,
many believed in his name ,
when they saw the miracles which he did .
*
But Jesus did not commit himself unto them ,
because he knew all men ,
*
And needed not that any should testify of man :
for he knew what was in man .
