And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ. 21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? 22 And he answered, No. They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them 23 that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the pro24 phet. 1 And they had been sent from the Pharisees. 1 Or, And 25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then certain baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither sent from 26 Elijah, neither the prophet?

Jesus 50 answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of 2 Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: and 2 Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when the wine failed, the mother of 3 Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. And 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with 5 thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do 6 it. Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews' manner of purifying, containing two or 7 three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the 8 brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it. 1Or, steward 9 And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water 1 had become 2 now become wine, and knew not whence it was 2 Or, that it (but the servants which had drawn the water knew), 10 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. 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 14 Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, 15 and the changers of money sitting: 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 16 changers' money, and overthrew their tables; and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of mer17 chandise.
