< John 2 >

1 And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
Three days after, there was a marriage in Cana, of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.
Jesus, also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.
3 And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine.
The wine falling short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
4 And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.
Jesus answered, Woman, what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come.
5 His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.
His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he shall bid you.
6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.
Now there were six water pots of stone, containing two or three baths each, placed there for the Jewish rites of cleansing.
7 Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said to them, Fill the pots with water. And they filled them to the brim.
8 And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.
Then he said, Draw, now, and carry to the director of the feast. And they did so.
9 And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,
When the director of the feast had tasted the wine made of water, not knowing whence it was, (but the servants who drew the water knew, )
10 And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.
he said, addressing the bridegroom, Every person presents the best wine first, and worse wine afterward, when the guests have drunk largely; but you have reserved the best till now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
This first miracle Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, displaying his glory: and his disciples believed on him.
12 After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.
Afterward, he went to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; but they staid not there many days.
13 And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
And the Jewish passover being nigh, Jesus went to Jerusalem;
14 And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
and finding changers sitting in the temple, and people who sold cattle and sheep, and doves;
15 And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and cattle, scattering the coin of the changers, and oversetting their tables.
16 And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
and he said to them, who sold doves, Take these things hence. Make not my Father's house a house of traffic.
17 And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
(Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture, "My zeal for thy house consumes me.")
18 The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
Therefore, the Jews answered, and said to him, By what miracle do you show us your title to do these things?
19 Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Jesus answering, said to them, Destroy this temple, and I will rear it again in three days.
20 The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
The Jews replied, Forty and six years was this temple in building; and you would rear it in three days?
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
(But, by the temple, he meant his body.)
22 When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.
When, therefore, he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they understood the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23 Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.
While he was at Jerusalem, during the feast of the passover, many believed on him, when they saw the miracles which he performed.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,
But Jesus did not trust himself with them, because he knew them all.
25 And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.
He needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.
