John 2:4-19

⁴Jesus saith to her, 'What — to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.'

⁵His mother saith to the ministrants, 'Whatever he may say to you — do.'

⁶And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.

⁷Jesus saith to them, 'Fill the water-jugs with water;' and they filled them — unto the brim;

⁸and he saith to them, 'Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;' and they bare.

⁹And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

¹⁰and saith to him, 'Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.'

¹¹This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

¹²after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

¹³And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

¹⁴and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,

¹⁵and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

¹⁶and to those selling the doves he said, 'Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.'

¹⁷And his disciples remembered that it is written, 'The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;'

¹⁸the Jews then answered and said to him, 'What sign dost thou shew to us — that thou dost these things?'

¹⁹Jesus answered and said to them, 'Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.'
