John 1:43-2:12

New King James Version

Philip and Nathanael

⁴³ The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found ^(A)Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” ⁴⁴ Now ^(B)Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip found ^(C)Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom ^(D)Moses in the law, and also the ^(E)prophets, wrote—Jesus ^(F)of Nazareth, the ^(G)son of Joseph.”

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, ^(H)“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”

Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, ^(I)an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

⁴⁸ Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, ^(J)You are the Son of God! You are ^(K)the King of Israel!”

⁵⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” ⁵¹ And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(L)hereafter^[a] you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

Water Turned to Wine

2 On the third day there was a ^(M)wedding in ^(N)Cana of Galilee, and the ^(O)mother of Jesus was there. ² Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. ³ And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”

⁴ Jesus said to her, ^(P)“Woman, ^(Q)what does your concern have to do with Me? ^(R)My hour has not yet come.”

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

⁶ Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, ^(S)according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. ⁷ Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. ⁸ And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. ⁹ When the master of the feast had tasted ^(T)the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. ¹⁰ And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”

¹¹ This ^(U)beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, ^(V)and ^[b]manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

¹² After this He went down to ^(W)Capernaum, He, His mother, ^(X)His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.
