1
 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2
 and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3
 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4
 Jesus saith unto her,
Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5
 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do
it.
6
 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7
 Jesus saith unto them,
Fill the waterpots with water.
And they filled them up to the brim.
8
 And he saith unto them,
Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.
And they bare
it.
9
 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10
 and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse:
but
thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11
 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth 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 they continued there not many days.
13
 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14
 and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15
 and when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16
 and said unto them that sold doves,
Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
17
 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18
 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19
 Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20
 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21
 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22
 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
23
 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast
day,
many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
24
 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all
men,
25
 and needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
A Psalm
of David.
1
 Bless the L
ORD
, O my soul: and all that is within me,
bless
his holy name.
2
 Bless the L
ORD
, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3
 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4
 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5
 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good
things; so that
thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6
 The L
ORD
executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7
 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8
 The L
ORD
is
merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9
 He will not always chide: neither will he keep
his anger
for ever.
10
 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11
 For as the heaven is high above the earth,
so
great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12
 As far as the east is from the west,
so
far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13
 Like as a father pitieth
his
children,
so
the L
ORD
pitieth them that fear him.
14
 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we
are
dust.
15
Â
As for
man, his days
are
as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16
 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17
 But the mercy of the L
ORD
is
from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18
 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19
 The L
ORD
hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20
 Bless the L
ORD
, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21
 Bless ye the L
ORD
, all
ye
his hosts;
ye
ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22
 Bless the L
ORD
, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the L
ORD
, O my soul.
17
Â
He that is
soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
18
 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19
 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
1
 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name
was
Micah.
2
 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred
shekels
of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver
is
with me; I took it.
And his mother said, Blessed
be thou
of the L
ORD
, my son.
3
 And when he had restored the eleven hundred
shekels
of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the L
ORD
from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
4
 Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred
shekels
of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
5
 And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6
 In those days
there was
no king in Israel,
but
every man did
that which was
right in his own eyes.
7
 And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-judah of the family of Judah, who
was
a Levite, and he sojourned there.
8
 And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehem-judah to sojourn where he could find
a place:
and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
9
 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou?
And he said unto him, I
am
a Levite of Bethlehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find
a place.
10
 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten
shekels
of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
11
 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
12
 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13
 Then said Micah, Now know I that the L
ORD
will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to
my
priest.
18:
1
 In those days
there was
no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day
all their
inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
2
 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
3
 When they
were
by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this
place?
and what hast thou here?
4
 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.
5
 And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
6
 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the L
ORD
is
your way wherein ye go.
7
 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that
were
therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and
there was
no magistrate in the land, that might put
them
to shame in
any
thing; and they
were
far from the Zidonians, and had no business with
any
man.
8
 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What
say
ye?
9
 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it
is
very good: and
are
ye still? be not slothful to go,
and
to enter to possess the land.
10
 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where
there is
no want of any thing that
is
in the earth.
11
 And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
12
 And they went up, and pitched in Kirjath-jearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan unto this day: behold,
it is
behind Kirjath-jearim.
13
 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
14
 Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
15
 And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite,
even
unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
16
 And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which
were
of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
17
 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up,
and
came in thither,
and
took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men
that were
appointed with weapons of war.
18
 And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?
19
 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest:
is it
better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
20
 And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
21
 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.
22
Â
And
when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that
were
in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
23
 And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
24
 And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what
is
this
that
ye say unto me, What aileth thee?
25
 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.
26
 And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they
were
too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
27
 And they took
the things
which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people
that were
at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
28
 And
there was
no deliverer, because it
was
far from Zidon, and they had no business with
any
man; and it was in the valley that
lieth
by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
29
 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city
was
Laish at the first.
30
 And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
31
 And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
