King James Version

9

When 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,

10

And 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.

11

This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12

After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

13

And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

14

And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15

And 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;

16

And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.

17

And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18

Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21

But he spake of the temple of his body.

22

When 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.

23

Now 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.

24

But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

25

And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

    “And 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, And 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. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him. After this, he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples: and they remained there not many days. And the pasch of the Jews was at hand: and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. And 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. And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic. And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up. The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things? Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple; and in three days I will raise it up. The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days? But he spoke of the temple of his body. When 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. Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did. But Jesus did not trust himself unto them: for that he knew all men, And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man. ”
