Again the next day after John stood, and 35 two of his disciples; and looking upon Jesus as 36 he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! And the two disciples heard him speak, and 37 they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and 38 saw them following, and saith unto them, "What "seek ye?" They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? He saith unto them, "Come and 39 see." They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. One of the two which heard John 40 speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his own bro- 41 ther Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. And 42

19. The marriage-feast at Cana in Galilee.

J. 2. 1

AND the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there and both Jesus was called, and his dis- 2 ciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted 3 wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, "Woman, 4 b So 2 Sa. b 2 what have I to do with thee? mine hour is "not yet come." His mother saith unto the 5 servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, 6 after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus 7 saith unto them, "Fill the waterpots with water." And they filled them up to the brim. And he 8 saith unto them, "Draw out now, and bear unto "the governor of the feast." And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the 9 water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and saith unto him, Every man at 10 the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in 11 Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

After this he went down to Capernaum, he, 12 and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples and they continued there not many days.

AND the Jews' passover was at hand, and A.D. 30. Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and found in the aEx.12.14. temple those that sold oxen and sheep and 15 doves, and the changers of money sitting: and when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' 16 money, and overthrew the tables; and said unto them that sold doves, "Take these things hence; "make not my Father's house an house of merM". 21. "chandise. It is written, My house shall be 13" called the house of prayer; c but have made Jer. 7.11. ye J. 2." it a den of thieves." And his disciples remem17 bered that it was written, The zeal of thine & Ps. 69.9. house hath eaten me up.

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him,
What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that
19 thou doest these things? Jesus answered and

said unto them, "Destroy this temple, and in
20" three days I will raise it up." Then said the

Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21, 22 But he spake of the temple of his body. When Col. 2. 9. therefore he was risen from the dead, his dis- Heb. 8.2. ciples remembered that he had said this unto 3.16. them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. 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.
