John 2:1-25 NASB20 - Bible AI

¹On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

²and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

³When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.”

⁴And Jesus *said to her, “[40]What business do you have with Me, woman? My hour has not yet come.”

⁵His mother *said to the servants, “Whatever He tells you, do it.”

⁶Now there were six stone waterpots standing there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing [41]two or three measures each.

⁷Jesus *said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.

⁸And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the[42]headwaiter.” And they took it to him.

⁹Now when the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the groom,

¹⁰and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the guests are drunk, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.”

¹¹This beginning of His [43]signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

¹²After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother, and His brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

First Passover—Cleansing the Temple

¹³The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁴And within the temple grounds He found those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.

¹⁵And He made a whip of [44]cords, and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;

¹⁶and to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away from here; stop making My Father’s house a[45]place of business!”

¹⁷His disciples remembered that it was written: “ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME.”

¹⁸The Jews then said to Him, “What sign do You show us [46]as your authority for doing these things?”

¹⁹Jesus answered them, “Destroy this[47]temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

²⁰The Jews then said, “It took forty-six years to build this [48]temple, and yet You will raise it up in three days?”

²¹But He was speaking about the [49]temple of His body.

²²So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

²³Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name as they observed His signs which He was doing.

²⁴But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, because He knew all people,

²⁵and because He did not need anyone to testify about mankind, for He Himself knew what was in mankind.
