2:1  Now on the third day · there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2:2  Jesus and his disciples were also invited · · · to the wedding.
2:3  · When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said · · to him, “They have no more wine.”
2:4  And Jesus said to her, · “Woman, what is that to me and to you? My hour has not yet come.” ·
2:5  His mother said · to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
2:6  Now standing nearby were six stone water jars, according to the purification requirements of the Jews, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
2:7  Jesus said to the servants, · “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
2:8  Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took him some,
2:9  and when the master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine, · not knowing where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), he called the bridegroom ·
2:10  and said to him, “Everyone serves the choice wine first, and then when the guests are a bit tipsy, that which is inferior. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
2:11  Jesus did this, the first of his signs, · at Cana in Galilee, and revealed · his glory; and his disciples believed in him. ·
2:12  After this he went down to Capernaum with · his mother and his brothers and · his disciples, but they stayed there only a few days.
2:13  Now the Jewish Passover was at hand, · so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ·
2:14  · In the temple he found people selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.
2:15  So he made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple, including the sheep and the cattle. · He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
2:16  · To those who were selling · doves he said, “Take those out of here! Do not make · my Father’s house · a marketplace!”
2:17  His disciples remembered · that it stands written, · “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
2:18  The Jews therefore replied, · saying to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
2:19  Jesus answered · them, saying, “Destroy · this temple and in three days I will restore it.”
2:20  Then the Jews said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six · years, · and you can restore it in three days?”
2:21  But he was speaking about the temple of his body.
2:22  Therefore, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered · that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken. ·
2:23  Now while Jesus was in · Jerusalem during the festival of Passover, · many people put their trust in · his name, for they saw his · miraculous signs that he was performing.
2:24  But as for Jesus, he did not entrust himself to them, because · he knew all men,
2:25  and because he had no need that anyone should give evidence concerning · man, for he himself knew what was in · man.
