answered him, "Rabbi, you are
the Son of God, you are the King of Israel." Jesus replied, "Do you
believe because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig-tree'? You shall
see greater things than these!"

THE WEDDING AT CANA

Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee; and the mother of
Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. When the
wine had all been used, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."
Jesus answered, "What is that to me? My time has not yet come." His
mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." Six stone
water-jars (such as the Jews used in washing) were there; each jar would
hold about twenty gallons. Jesus said, "Fill up the jars with water." So
they filled them to the brim. Then Jesus said, "Pour some out, and take
it to the one in charge of the feast." And they did so. When the one in
charge of the feast tasted the water which had become wine, he did not
know where it came from (although the servants who had poured out the
water knew), so he called the bridegroom and said to him, "Every one
serves the good wine first, and the wine that is not so good after men
have drunk freely; but you have kept the good wine until now." This the
first of his wonderful signs, showing his power, Jesus did at Cana in
Galilee; and his disciples believed in him.

THE HEALING OF THE TEN LEPERS

On their way to Jerusalem, Jesus and his disciples passed through
Samaria and Galilee. When he entered a certain village, he was met by
ten lepers, who cried to him from a distance, "Jesus, Master, have pity
on us." When Jesus saw them he said to them, "Go, and show yourselves to
the priests." And as they went, they were made clean.

One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a
loud voice praised God; and he fell down at the feet of Jesus with his
face to the ground and thanked him; and this man was a Samaritan. Jesus
said to him, "Were not ten made clean? Where are the other nine? Was
there no one who returned to give praise to God except this stranger?"
And Jesus said to him, "Arise, and go on your way, your faith has made
you well."

HEALING THE MAN AT THE POOL

There was a festival of the Jews in Jerusalem, and Jesus went there. In
Jerusalem there is a pool beside the sheep gate. In Hebrew it is called,
Bethesda. It has five
