Jesus at a Wedding in Cana
1 Three days later Mary, the mother of Jesus, was at a wedding feast in the village of Cana in Galilee. 2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited and were there.
3 When the wine was all gone, Mary said to Jesus, “They don't have any more wine.”
4 Jesus replied, “Mother, my time hasn't yet come! You must not tell me what to do.”
5 Mary then said to the servants, “Do whatever Jesus tells you to do.”
6 At the feast there were six stone water jars that were used by the people for washing themselves in the way that their religion said they must. Each jar held about 100 liters. 7 Jesus told the servants to fill them to the top with water. Then after the jars had been filled, 8 he said, “Now take some water and give it to the man in charge of the feast.”
The servants did as Jesus told them, 9 and the man in charge drank some of the water that had now turned into wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants did. He called the bridegroom over 10 and said, “The best wine is always served first. Then after the guests have had plenty, the other wine is served. But you have kept the best until last!”
11 This was Jesus' first miracle, and he did it in the village of Cana in Galilee. There Jesus showed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. 12 After this, he went with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples to the town of Capernaum, where they stayed for a few days.
Jesus in the Temple
(Matthew 21.12Matthew 13Mark 11.15-17Luke 19.45Luke 46)13 Not long before the Jewish festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 There he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves in the temple. He also saw moneychangers sitting at their tables. 15 So he took some rope and made a whip. Then he chased everyone out of the temple, together with their sheep and cattle. He turned over the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins.
16 Jesus said to the people who had been selling doves, “Get those doves out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace.”
17 The disciples then remembered that the Scriptures say, “My love for your house burns in me like a fire.”
18 The Jewish leaders asked Jesus, “What miracle will you work to show us why you have done this?”
19 “Destroy this temple,” Jesus answered, “and in three days I will build it again!”
20 The leaders replied, “It took 46 years to build this temple. What makes you think you can rebuild it in three days?”
21 But Jesus was talking about his body as a temple. 22 And when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered what he had told them. Then they believed the Scriptures and the words of Jesus.
Jesus Knows What People Are Like
23 In Jerusalem during Passover many people put their faith in Jesus, because they saw him work miracles. 24 But Jesus knew what was in their hearts, and he would not let them have power over him. 25 No one had to tell him what people were like. He already knew.
1 And the thirde day, was there a mariage in Cana a towne of Galile, and the mother of Iesus was there. 2 And Iesus was called also, and his disciples vnto the mariage. 3 Nowe when the wine failed, the mother of Iesus saide vnto him, They haue no wine. 4 Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, what haue I to doe with thee? mine houre is not yet come. 5 His mother saide vnto the seruants, Whatsoeuer he sayeth vnto you, doe it. 6 And there were set there, sixe waterpots of stone, after the maner of the purifying of the Iewes, conteining two or three firkins a piece. 7 And Iesus sayde vnto them, Fill the waterpots with water. Then they filled them vp to the brim. 8 Then he sayde vnto them, Draw out nowe and beare vnto the gouernour of the feast. So they bare it. 9 Nowe when the gouernour of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he knewe not whence it was: but the seruants, which drewe the water, knewe) the gouernour of ye feast called the bridegrome, 10 And saide vnto him, All men at the beginning set foorth good wine, and when men haue well drunke, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept backe the good wine vntill nowe. 11 This beginning of miracles did Iesus in Cana a towne of Galile, and shewed forth his glorie: and his disciples beleeued on him. 12 After that, he went downe into Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they continued not many daies there. 13 For the Iewes Passeouer was at hande. Therefore Iesus went vp to Hierusalem. 14 And he found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheepe, and doues, and changers of money, sitting there. 15 Then hee made a scourge of small cordes, and draue them all out of the Temple with the sheepe and oxen, and powred out the changers money, and ouerthrewe the tables, 16 And said vnto them that solde doues, Take these things hence: make not my fathers house, an house of marchandise. 17 And his disciples remembred, that it was written, The zeale of thine house hath eaten me vp. 18 Then answered the Iewes, and saide vnto him, What signe shewest thou vnto vs, that thou doest these things? 19 Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Destroy this Temple, and in three daies I will raise it vp againe. 20 Then said the Iewes, Fourtie and sixe yeeres was this Temple a building, and wilt thou reare it vp in three daies? 21 But he spake of the temple of his bodie. 22 Assoone therefore as he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that hee thus sayde vnto them: and they beleeued the Scripture, and the worde which Iesus had saide. 23 Nowe when hee was at Hierusalem at the Passeouer in the feast, many beleeued in his Name, when they sawe his miracles which he did. 24 But Iesus did not commit him selfe vnto them, because he knewe them all, 25 And had no neede that any should testifie of man: for he knewe what was in man.
