The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ,
According To John Chapter 2 ;
1 Christ turneth water into Wine,
11 which was the beginning of his miracles.
12 He goeth down to Capernaum;
13 from thence he goeth up to Jerusalem,
15 and casteth the merchandise out of the
Temple.
19 He foretelleth that the Temple, that is,
his body, shall be destroyed of the Jews.
23 Many believe in him, seeing the miracles
which he did.
1 And (1) the (a) third day, was there a
marriage in Cana a town of Galilee,
and the mother of Jesus was there.
(1) Christ declaring openly in an assembly
by a notable miracle, that he hath power over
the nature of things, to feed man's body,
leadeth the minds of all men, to his spiritual
and saving virtue and power.
(a) After the talk which he had with
Nathanael, or after that he departed from John,
or after that he came into Galilee.
2 And Jesus was called also, and his disciples
unto the marriage.
3 (2) Now when the wine failed, the mother
of Jesus said unto him, They have no wine.
(2) Christ is careful enough of our salvation,
and therefore hath no need of others to put him
in mind of it.
4 Jesus said unto her, Woman, what have I to
do with thee? Mine (b) hour is not yet come.
(b) Mine appointed time.
5 His mother said unto the servants,
Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there, six (c) waterpots
of stone, after the manner of the (*) purifying
of the Jews, containing two or three
(d) () () firkins a piece.
(c) These were vessels appointed for water,
wherein they washed themselves.
(*) Who used continual washings to purify
themselves, Which superstition Hebion the
heretic would have brought into the Church and
now the Papists have received it.
(d) Every firkin contained a hundred pounds,
at twelve ounces the pound; Whereby we
gather that Christ help them with a thousand
and eight hundred pounds of wine.
() Or, measures.
() Whereof every one contained 15 gallons.
7 And Jesus said unto them, Fill the waterpots
with water. Then they filled them up to the
brim.
8 Then he said unto them, Draw out now, and
bear unto the (*) governor of the feast. So they
bare it.
(*) Or, steward.
9 Now when the governor of the feast had
tasted the water that was made wine,
(for he knew not whence it was, but the
servants, which drew the water, knew)
the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And said unto him, All men at the beginning
set forth good wine, and when men have (e) well
drunk, then that which is worse; but thou hast
kept back the good wine until now.
(e) Word for word, are drunken. Now this
speech, to be drunken, is not always taken in
evil part in the Hebrew tongue, but signifieth
sometime such store, and plentiful use of wine,
as doth not pass measure, as
Genesis 43:34 .
11 This beginning of (*) miracles did Jesus in
Cana a town of Galilee, and shewed forth his
glory, and his disciples believed on him.
(*) Or, signs.
12 After that, he went down into Capernaum,
he and his mother, and his (f) (*) brethren, and
his disciples; but they continued not many days
there.
(f) That is, his cousins.
(*) Or, cousins.
13 (3) For the Jews' Passover was at hand.
Therefore Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
(3) Christ being made subject to the Law for
us, satisfieth the Law of the Passover.
14 (4) (*) And he found in the Temple those
that sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and
changers of money, sitting there.
(4) Christ being ordained to purge the Church,
doeth with great zeal begin his office both of
Priest and Prophet.
(*) Matthew 21:12; Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46 .
15 Then he made a scourge of small cords, and
drave them all out of the Temple with the sheep
and oxen, and poured out the changers' money,
and overthrew their tables,
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take
these things hence; make not my father's house,
a house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered, that it was
written, (*) The (g) () zeal of thine house hath
eaten me up.
(*) Psalm 69:9 .
(g) Zeal in this place is taken for a wrathful
indignation and displeasure of the mind,
conceived of some naughty and evil dealing
towards them whom we love well.
() This affection was so burning in him, that it
surmounted and swallowed up all the others.
18 (5) Then answered the Jews, and said unto
him, What (h) (*) sign shewest thou unto us,
that thou doest these things?
(5) Against them which so bind God to an
ordinary calling which they themselves most
shamefully abuse, that they will not admit an
extraordinary, which God confirmeth from
heaven,
(and they although in vain would have it
extinguished)
unless it be sealed with outward and bodily
miracles.
(h) With what miracle doest thou confirm it,
that we may see that heavenly power and virtue,
which giveth thee authority to speak and do
thus?
(*) Or, miracle.
19 Jesus answered and said unto them,
(*) Destroy this Temple, and in three days
I will raise it up again.
(*) Matthew 26:61; Matthew 27:40;
Mark 14:58; Mark 15:29 .
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was
this Temple a building, and wilt thou rear it up
in three days?
21 But he spake of the (i) temple of his
(*) body.
(i) That is, of his body.
(*) Christ's body might justly be called the
temple, because the fullness of the Godhead
dwelleth in it corporally,
Colossians 2:9 .
22 As soon therefore as he was risen from the
dead, his disciples remembered that he thus
said unto them; and they believed the Scripture,
and the word which Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was at Jerusalem at the
Passover in the feast, many believed in his Name,
when they saw his miracles which he did.
24 (6) But Jesus (*) did not commit himself
unto them, because he knew them all,
(6) It is not good crediting them, which stand
only upon miracles.
(*) For he took not them for true disciples, as
he knew by their inward thoughts, what religion
forever they did pretend outwardly.
25 (7) And had no need that any should testify
of man, for he knew what was in man.
(7) Christ is the searcher of hearts, and
therefore true God.
