- On the - third day a wedding took place at Cana - in Galilee. - - Jesus’ - mother was there ,
and - Jesus and His - disciples had also been invited ... to the wedding.
When (the) wine ran out , - - Jesus’ mother said to Him , “ They have no more wine. ”
“ Woman , why (does this concern) us ... ... ? ” - - Jesus replied -. “ My - hour {has} not yet come. ”
His - mother said to the servants , “ Do whatever ... ... He tells you. ”
Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish - (rites of) purification. (Each) could hold from twenty to thirty gallons ... ... ....
Jesus told (the servants) - , “ Fill the jars with water. ” So they filled them to (the) brim.
“ Now draw (some) out , ” - He said - , “ and take (it) to the master of the banquet. ” - - They (did so) ,
and - the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. - vvv He did not know where it was {from} , but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then (he) called the bridegroom (aside)
and said - , “ Everyone - serves the fine wine first , and then the cheap (wine) after (the guests) are drunk. (But) you have saved the fine wine until now ! ”
Jesus performed this , the first of His signs , - at Cana - in Galilee. He thus revealed - His glory , and His - disciples believed in Him.
After this , He went down to Capernaum - (with) - His mother and - - brothers and - His disciples , and they stayed there vvv a few days.
When the vvv Jewish Passover was near , - - Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
- In the temple (courts) He found (men) selling cattle , - sheep , and doves , and - money changers seated (at their tables).
(So) He made a whip out of cords (and) drove all from the temple (courts) , both - sheep and - cattle. - He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned (their) tables.
- To those selling - doves He said , “ Get these out of here ! How dare you turn My - Father’s - house {into} a Mark -etplace ... ! ”
His - disciples remembered that it is written : - “ Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
On account of this , the Jews demanded ... ... ... , “ What sign can You show us to prove Your ( authority ) to do these things ? ”
Jesus answered ... ... ... , “ Destroy this - temple , and in three days I will raise it up again .... ”
“ This - temple {took} forty-six ... ... years to build , ” - the Jews replied , “ and You are going to raise it up ... in three days ? ”
But (Jesus) was speaking about the temple (of) His - body.
- After He was raised from (the) dead , His - disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that - Jesus had spoken.
- While He was in - Jerusalem at the Passover - - Feast , many people saw (the) - signs - He was doing (and) believed in His - name.
But Jesus ... {did} not entrust Himself to them , for He - knew (them) all.
- - He {did} not need - any testimony about - man , for He knew what was in - (a) man.
