  ¹The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.

  ²Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.

  ³When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”

  ⁴Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”

  ⁵His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”

  ⁶Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.

  ⁷Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.

  ⁸He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.

  ⁹When 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

  ¹⁰and 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!”

  ¹¹This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

  ⁴³After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

  ⁴⁴For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

  ⁴⁵So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

  ⁴⁶Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

  ⁴⁷When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

  ⁴⁸Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”

  ⁴⁹The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

  ⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

  ⁵¹As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”

  ⁵²So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”

  ⁵³So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.

  ⁵⁴This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

  ¹After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

  ²Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

  ³Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.

  ⁴But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.

  ⁵Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”

  ⁶He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

  ⁷That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

  ⁸But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.

  ⁹So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.

  ¹⁰Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

  ¹¹Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.

  ¹²Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.

  ¹³Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

  ¹⁴This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
