Jn 4.46; 21.2. On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; 2Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. 3#Jn 19.26; Mk 3.31. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4#Mk 1.24; 5.7; Jn 7.6,30; 8.20. And Jesus said to her, “O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6#Mk 7.3; Jn 3.25. Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.” So they took it. 9When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom 10and said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11#Jn 2.23; 3.2; 4.54; 6.2. This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Mt 4.13; Jn 7.3; Mk 3.31. After this he went down to Caperna-um, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples; and there they stayed for a few days.

Jn 6.4; 11.55; Deut 16.1-6; Lk 2.41. The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14#Mt 21.12-13; Mk 11.15-17; Lk 19.45-46. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. 15And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16#Lk 2.49. And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; you shall not make my Father's house a house of trade.” 17#Ps 60.9. His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.” 18#Mk 11.28; Mt 21.23; Lk 20.2. The Jews then said to him, “What sign have you to show us for doing this?” 19#Mk 14.58; Acts 6.14. Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” 21#1 Cor 6.19; Jn 8.57. But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22#Jn 12.16; 14.26. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did; 24but Jesus did not trust himself to them, 25#Jn 1.47; 6.61; 13.11; Mk 2.8. because he knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.

St John 2

1AND the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
2And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine.
4And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.
5His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.
6Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.
7Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.
9And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,
10And saith to him: Every man at first setteth 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 his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.
13And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
15And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
16And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
17And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
18The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
19Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
21But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.
23Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.
24But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,
25And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.
