7. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled the jars to the top.
8. Then he said to them, “Now take some out and give it to the master of the feast.”So they took the water to the master.
9. When he tasted it, the water had become wine. He did not know where the wine came from, but the servants who had brought the water knew. The master of the wedding called the bridegroom
10. and said to him, “People always serve the best wine first. Later, after the guests have been drinking awhile, they serve the cheaper wine. But you have saved the best wine till now.”
11. So in Cana of Galilee Jesus did his first miracle. There he showed his glory, and his followers believed in him.
12. After this, Jesus went to the town of Capernaum with his mother, brothers, and followers. They stayed there for just a few days.
13. When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover Feast, Jesus went to Jerusalem.
14. In the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves. He saw others sitting at tables, exchanging different kinds of money.
15. Jesus made a whip out of cords and forced all of them, both the sheep and cattle, to leave the Temple. He turned over the tables and scattered the money of those who were exchanging it.
