< John 2 >
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,
2 and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;
3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, 'Wine they have not;'
4 “Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
Jesus saith to her, 'What — to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.'
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
His mother saith to the ministrants, 'Whatever he may say to you — do.'
6 Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.
And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.
7 Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
Jesus saith to them, 'Fill the water-jugs with water;' and they filled them — unto the brim;
8 “Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
and he saith to them, 'Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;' and they bare.
9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water, ) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,
10 and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”
and saith to him, 'Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.'
11 Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;
12 After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.
13 When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,
15 So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,
16 To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
and to those selling the doves he said, 'Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.'
17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
And his disciples remembered that it is written, 'The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;'
18 On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
the Jews then answered and said to him, 'What sign dost thou shew to us — that thou dost these things?'
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
Jesus answered and said to them, 'Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.'
20 “This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?'
21 But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.
but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;
22 After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.
23 While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.
And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;
24 But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.
and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all [men],
25 He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.
