5His mother says to the servants, “Do whatever He may tell you.”
6(Now there were six stone waterpots set there, according to the purification rites of the Jews, containing 20 or 30 gallons each.)
7Jesus says to them, “Fill the pots with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8So He says to them, “Now, draw some out and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So they took it.
9Well, when the master of ceremonies tasted the water that had become wine—he did not know where it came from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew—he calls the bridegroom
10and says to him: “Everybody serves the good wine first, then, when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”
11This, the first of the miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed into Him.
12After this He went down to Capernaum—He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples—but they did not stay there many days.
13Now the Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14And in the Temple He found people selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the moneychangers at work.
15When He had made a scourge out of cords, He drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and as for the moneychangers, He overturned the tables and scattered the coins.
16And to the dove-sellers He said: “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father's House into a marketplace!”
17Then His disciples remembered that it stands written, “Zeal for Your House consumes me.”
18So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do you show us, since you do these things?”
19Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it.”
