[1:47] Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"
[1:48] Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?"
Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
[1:49] Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!"
[1:50] Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these!" [1:51] He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
[2:1] The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. Jesus' mother was there. [2:2] Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage. [2:3] When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."
[2:4] Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come."
[2:5] His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it." [2:6] Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews' manner of purifying, containing [two or three metretes] apiece. [2:7] Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water." They filled them up to the brim. [2:8] He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it. [2:9] When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn't know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom, [2:10] and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!" [2:11] This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
[2:12] After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days. [2:13] The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. [2:14] He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting. [2:15] He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables. [2:16] To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!" [2:17] His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will eat me up."[*]
[2:18] The Jews therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?"
