1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.3When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, ‘They have no more wine.’4‘Woman,* why do you involve me?’ Jesus replied. ‘My hour has not yet come.’5His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’6Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from eighty to a hundred and twenty litres.7Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water’; so they filled them to the brim.8Then he told them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.’ They did so,9and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realise where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside10and said, ‘Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.’11What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.12After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.
Jesus clears the temple courts
13When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.14In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.15So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.16To those who sold doves he said, ‘Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!’17His disciples remembered that it is written: ‘Zeal for your house will consume me.’18The Jews then responded to him, ‘What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?’19Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’20They replied, ‘It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?’21But the temple he had spoken of was his body.22After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.23Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.*24But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.25He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.

The Wedding at Cana
1On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.2Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.3When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”4And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”6Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.*7Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.8And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it.9When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom10and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.”11This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.12After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers* and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
13The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.14In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there.15And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.16And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.”17His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”18So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?”19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”20The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple,* and will you raise it up in three days?”21But he was speaking about the temple of his body.22When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
Jesus Knows What Is in Man
23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing.24But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people25and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
