1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there.
2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3 When the wine gave out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."
4 Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does this have to do with me and with you? My hour has not come yet."
5 His mother told the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
6 Six stone water jars stood there for the purification rites of the Jews, each one holding two or three measures.
7 Jesus told them, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them to the top.
8 Then he told them, "Now draw some out and carry it to the headwaiter." And they carried it.
9 The headwaiter tasted the water, now turned into wine, without knowing where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then the headwaiter called the bridegroom
10 and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and the poorer wine after the guests have drunk freely; but you have saved the good wine until now."
11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee; he displayed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they remained there only a few days.
13 The Passover of the Jews was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
15 He made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple, sheep and cattle alike; he scattered the money changers' coins and knocked their tables over.
16 To those selling doves he said, "Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a marketplace!"
17 His disciples recalled that it is written, "Zeal for your house has consumed me."
18 The Jews responded by asking him, "What sign can you show us for doing these things?"
19 Jesus answered them, "Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
20 The Jews then said, "This temple took forty-six years to build, and you will raise it up in three days?"
21 But the temple he meant was his body.
22 So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.
23 While he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many put their faith in his name, seeing the signs he was doing.
24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, since he knew everyone;
25 he did not need anyone to testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
