The miracle at Cana

On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there: The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
And Jesus with his disciples came as guests. Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage.
When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come. Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
The Marriage in Cana (John 2:5-7)
His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.		 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
Now six pots of stone, every one taking two or three firkins of water, were placed there for the purpose of washing, as is the way of the Jews. Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top. Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” They filled them up to the brim.
Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man, When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,
And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now. and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!”
This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him. This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Christ casts the buyers and sellers out of the temple

After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days. After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats: He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
The Buyers and Sellers Driven Out of the Temple (John 2:15)
And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables;		 He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables.
And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market. To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house. His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things? The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days. Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days! The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
But his words were about that holy building which was his body. But he spoke of the temple of his body.
So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

Many believe in Christ

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did. Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all. But Jesus didn’t trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man. and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
