New Testament

John 2:9-19 American Standard Version (ASV)

9. And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom,

10. and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now.

11. This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

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

13. And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14. And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15. and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables;

16. and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.

17. His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up.

18. The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
