His First Miracle
1And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
The First Passover
13And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15and when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 16and said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. 17And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 19Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21But he spake of the temple of his body. 22When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. 24But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, 25and needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

Water to Wine
1On the third day, there was a wedding at Cana in the Galilee. Yeshua’s mother was there,
2and Yeshua and His disciples were also invited to the wedding.
3When the wine ran out, Yeshua’s mother said to Him, “They don’t have any wine!”
4Yeshua said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with you and Me? My hour hasn’t come yet.”
5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
6Now there were six stone jars, used for the Jewish ritual of purification, each holding two to three measures.
7Yeshua said to them, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled them up to the top.
8Then He said to them, “Take some water out, and give it to the headwaiter.” And they brought it.
9Now the headwaiter did not know where it had come from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. As the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, he calls the bridegroom
10and says to him, “Everyone brings out the good wine first, and whenever they are drunk, then the worse. But you’ve reserved the good wine until now!”
11Yeshua did this, the first of the signs, in Cana of the Galilee—He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
Yeshua Purges the Temple
12After this Yeshua went down to Capernaum with His mother, brothers, and disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
13The Jewish feast of Passover was near, so Yeshua went up to Jerusalem.
14In the Temple, He found the merchants selling oxen, sheep, and doves; also the moneychangers sitting there.
15Then He made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the Temple, both the sheep and oxen. He dumped out the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables.
16To those selling doves, He said, “Get these things out of here! Stop making My Father’s house a marketplace!”
17His disciples remembered that it is written, “Zeal for your House will consume Me!”
18The Judean leaders responded, “What sign do You show us, since You are doing these things?”
19“Destroy this Temple,” Yeshua answered them, “and in three days I will raise it up.”
20The Judean leaders then said to Him, “Forty-six years this Temple was being built, and You will raise it up in three days?”
21But He was talking about the temple of His body.
22So after He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He was talking about this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Yeshua had spoken.
23Now when He was in Jerusalem for the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, seeing the signs He was doing.
24But Yeshua did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men.
25He did not need anyone to testify about man, for He knew what was in man.
