The Gospel of
John Chapter 2
(Today's
English King James)
2:1
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2:2
And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the
marriage.
2:3
And when they lacked wine, the mother of Jesus said to
him, They have no wine.
2:4
Jesus said to her, Woman, what have I to do with you?
my hour is not yet come.
2:5
His mother said to the servants, Whatever he said to
you, do it.
2:6
And there were set there six water pots of stone,
after the manner of the purifying of the Jews,
containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.
2:7
Jesus said to them, Fill the water pots with water.
And they filled them up to the brim.
2:8
And he said to them, Draw out now, and bear to the
governor of the feast. And they bore it.
2:9
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that
was made wine, and knew not from where it was: (but
the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor
of the feast called the bridegroom,
2:10
And said to him, Every man at the beginning does set
forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then
that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine
until now.
2:11
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of
Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his
disciples believed on him.
2:12
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his
mother, and his brothers, and his disciples: and they
continued there not many days.
2:13
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up
to Jerusalem.
2:14
And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep
and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
2:15
And when he had made a whip 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;
2:16
And said to them that sold doves, Take these things
from here; make not my Father's house an house of
merchandise.
2:17
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The
zeal of your house has eaten me up.
2:18
Then answered the Jews and said to him, What sign show
you to us, seeing that you do these things?
2:19
Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple,
and in three days I will raise it up.
2:20
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this
temple in building, and will you raise it up in three
days?
2:21
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
2:22
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his
disciples remembered that he had said this to them;
and they believed the scripture, and the word which
Jesus had said.
2:23
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.
2:24
But Jesus did not commit himself to them, because he
knew all men,
2:25
And needed not that any should testify of man: for he
knew what was in man.
