you, do
it."
Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews' manner
of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto
them, "Fill the waterpots with water."
And they filled them up to the brim.
And he saith unto them, "Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the
feast."
And they bare it. 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,
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."
This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Jesus answered and said unto them, "Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up."
The Jews therefore said, "Forty and six years was this temple in
building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?"
But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised
from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake thus; and they
believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
THE VISIT OF NICODEMUS.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many
believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did. But Jesus did
