Nd the third day there was a mariage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Ieſus was there.
2 And both Ieſus was called, and his diſciples, to the mariage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Ieſus ſaith vnto him, They haue no wine.
4 Ieſus ſaith vnto her, Woman, what haue I to doe with thee? mine houre is not yet come.
5 His mother ſaith vnto ye ſeruants, whatſoeuer he ſaith vnto you, doe it.
6 And there were ſet there ſixe water pots of ſtone, after the maner of the purifying of the Iews, conteining two or three firkins apeece.
7 Ieſus ſaith vnto them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them vp to the brimme.
8 And hee ſaith vnto them, Drawe out now, and beare vnto the gouernor of the feaſt. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feaſt had taſted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the ſeruants which drew the water knew) the gouernor of the feaſt called the bridegrome,
10 And ſaith vnto him, Euery man at the beginning doth ſet foorth good wine, and when men haue well drunke, then that which is worſe, but thou haſt kept the good wine vntill now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Ieſus in Cana of Galilee, and manifeſted forth his glory, and his diſciples beleeued on him.
12 ¶ After this hee went downe to Capernaum, hee and his mother, and his brethren, and his diſciples, and they continued there not many dayes.
13 ¶ And the Iewes Paſſeouer was at hand, ⁊ Ieſus went vp to Hieruſalem
14 And found in the Temple thoſe that ſold oxen, and ſheepe, and doues, and the changers of money, ſitting.
15 And when he had made a ſcourge of ſmall cordes, he droue them all out of the Temple, and the ſheepe ⁊ the oxen, and powred out the changers money, and ouerthrew the tables,
16 And ſaid vnto them that ſold doues Take theſe things hence, make not my fathers houſe an houſe of merchandize.
17 And his diſciples remembred that it was written, ** Pſal.69.9 The zeale of thine houſe hath eaten me vp.
18 ¶ Then anſwered the Iewes, and ſaid vnto him, what ſigne ſheweſt thou vnto vs, ſeeing that thou doeſt theſe things?
19 Ieſus anſwered, and ſaid vnto them, **Mat.26.61. Deſtroy this temple, and in three dayes I will raiſe it vp.
20 Then ſaid the Iewes, Fourty and ſix yeres was this Temple in building, and wilt thou reare it vp in three dayes?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore hee was riſen from the dead, his diſciples remembred that hee had ſaid vnto them: and they beleeued the Scripture, and the word which Ieſus had ſaid.
23 ¶ Now when hee was in Hieruſalem at the Paſſeouer, in the feaſt day, many beleeued in his Name, when they ſaw the miracles which he did.
24 But Ieſus did not commit himſelfe vnto them, becauſe he knew al men,
25 And needed not that any ſhould teſtifie of man: for hee knew what was in man.
CHAP. III.
1 Chriſt teacheth Nicodemus the neceſsitie of regeneration. 14 Of faith in his death. 16 The great loue of God towards the world. 18 Condemnation for vnbeliefe. 23 The baptiſme, witnes & doctrine of Iohn concerning Chriſt.
Here was a man of the Phariſees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of ye Iewes:
2 The ſame came to Ieſus by night, and ſaid vnto him, Rabbi, wee know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can doe theſe miracles that thou doeſt, except God be with him.
3 Ieſus answered, and ſaid vnto him, Uerily, verily I ſay vnto thee, except a man be borne ǁǁ Or, from aboue. againe, he cannot ſee the kingdome of God.
4 Nicodemus ſaith vnto him, How can a man be borne when he is old? can he enter the ſecond time into his mothers wombe, and be borne?
5 Ieſus answered, Uerily, verily I ſay vnto thee, except a man be borne of water and of the ſpirit, he cannot enter into the kingdome of God.
6 That which is borne of the fleſh, is fleſh, and that which is borne of the ſpirit, is ſpirit.
7 Marueile not that I ſaide vnto thee, Ye muſt be borne ǁǁ Or, from aboue. againe.
