John 2
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus says unto him, They have no wine.
And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him, “They have no wine left.”
4 Jesus says unto her, Woman, what have I to do with you? mine hour is not yet come.
“What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
5 His mother says unto the servants, Whatsoever he says unto you, do it.
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 And there were set there six water pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7 Jesus says unto them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the water-jars with water.”
8 And he says unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
And, when they had filled them to the brim, he added, “Now take some out, and carry it to the Master of the feast.” The servants did so.
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,
And, when the Master of the feast had tasted the water which had now become wine, not knowing where it had come from – although the servants who had taken out the water knew –
10 And says unto him, Every man at the beginning does set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now.
He called the groom and said to him, “Everyone puts good wine on the table first, and inferior wine afterward, when his guests have drunk freely; but you have kept back the good wine till now!”
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
This, the first sign of his mission, Jesus gave at Cana in Galilee, and by it revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in 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.
After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum – he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; but they stayed there only a few days.
13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, 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:
In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money changers at their counters.
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;
So he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the Temple Courts, and the sheep and bullocks as well; he scattered the money of the money changers, and overturned their tables,
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things behind; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
and said to the pigeon-dealers, “Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s house into a market house.”
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of your house has eaten me up.
His disciples remembered that scripture said – ‘Passion for your house will consume me.’
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign show you unto us, seeing that you do these things?
Then some of the religious authorities asked Jesus, “What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?”
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
“Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it in three days.”
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you rear it up in three days?
“This Temple,” the authorities replied, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
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 (logos) which Jesus had said.
Afterward, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the passage of scripture, and the words which Jesus had spoken.
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.
While Jesus was in Jerusalem, during the Passover Festival, many came to trust in him, when they saw the signs of his mission that he was giving.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
He did not need anyone to tell him about people because he could read what was in them.
