| 2:1 | Now on the third day there was a wedding at Cana* in Galilee.* Jesus’ mother* was there, |
| 2:2 | and 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 wine left.”* |
| 2:4 | Jesus replied,* “Woman,* why are you saying this to me?* My time* has not yet come.” |
| 2:5 | His mother told the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.”* |
| 2:6 | Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washing,* each holding twenty or thirty gallons.* |
| 2:7 | Jesus told the servants,* “Fill the water jars with water.” So they filled them up to the very top. |
| 2:8 | Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the head steward,”* and they did. |
| 2:9 | When* the head steward tasted the water that had been turned to 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 good wine first, and then the cheaper* wine when the guests* are drunk. You have kept the good wine until now!” |
| 2:11 | Jesus did this as the first of his miraculous signs,* in Cana* of Galilee. In this way he revealed* his glory, and his disciples believed in him.* |
| 2:12 | After this he went down to Capernaum* with his mother and brothers* and his disciples, and they stayed there a few days. |
| 2:13 | Now the Jewish feast of Passover* was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.* |
| 2:14 | *He found in the temple courts* those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at tables.* |
| 2:15 | So he made a whip of cords* and drove them all out of the temple courts,* with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers* and overturned their tables. |
| 2:16 | To those who sold the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not make* my Father’s house a marketplace!”* |
| 2:17 | His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal* for your house will devour me.”* |
| 2:18 | So then the Jewish leaders* responded,* “What sign can you show us, since you are doing these things?”* |
| 2:19 | Jesus replied,* “Destroy* this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.” |
| 2:20 | Then the Jewish leaders* said to him, “This temple has been under construction* for forty-six years,* and are you going to raise it up in three days?” |
| 2:21 | But Jesus* was speaking about the temple of his body.* |
| 2:22 | So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture* and the saying* that Jesus had spoken. |
| 2:23 | Now while Jesus* was in Jerusalem* at the feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing.* |
| 2:24 | But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people.* |
| 2:25 | He did not need anyone to testify about man,* for he knew what was in man.* |
