John 2 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The Wedding at Cana

Jhn 2:1

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

Jhn 2:2and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
Jhn 2:3And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.”
Jhn 2:4And Jesus *said to her, “Woman, [fn]what do I have to do with you? My hour has not yet come.”
Jhn 2:5His mother *said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
Jhn 2:6Now there were six stone water jars set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing [fn]two or three measures each.
Jhn 2:7Jesus *said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
Jhn 2:8And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it to him.
Jhn 2:9Now 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 bridegroom,
Jhn 2:10and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have [fn]drunk freely, then the inferior wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.”
Jhn 2:11Jesus did this in Cana of Galilee as the beginning of His [fn]signs, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
Jhn 2:12

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

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

Jhn 2:13

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

Jhn 2:14And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.
Jhn 2:15And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;
Jhn 2:16and to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a [fn]place of business.”
Jhn 2:17His disciples remembered that it was written, “ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME.”
Jhn 2:18The Jews then said to Him, “What sign do You show us [fn]as your authority for doing these things?”
Jhn 2:19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this [fn]sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.”
Jhn 2:20The Jews then said, “It took forty-six years to build this sanctuary, and will You raise it up in three days?”
Jhn 2:21But He was speaking about the sanctuary of His body.
Jhn 2:22So 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.
Jhn 2:23

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

Jhn 2:24But Jesus, [fn]on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,
Jhn 2:25and because He had no need that anyone bear witness concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.
