3When they ran out of wine, Jesus’ mother told Him, “They have no wine.”
4Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My time has not yet come.”
5His mother told the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
6Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding two to three metretes.
7Jesus told 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 didn’t realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
10and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first, and then the cheaper wine after the guests have drunk freely, but you have saved the best till now!”
11Jesus did this beginning of signs in Cana of Galilee. He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother, His brothers, and His disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.
13The time for the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.
15When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.
16He told those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Don’t make my Father’s house a market place!”
17Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.”
18So the Jews answered and asked Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21But the temple He had spoken of was His body.
