When the queen of Sheba perceived all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,

But rather we will certainly carry out every word that has proceeded from our mouths, by burning sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, just as we ourselves, our forefathers, our kings and our princes did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food and were well off and saw no misfortune.

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas.
