John 2
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there.
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
Now both Jesus and His disciples had been invited to the wedding.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
So when the wine had given out, Jesus' mother says to Him, “They don't have any wine!”
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
Jesus says to her: “What is that to you and me, woman? My time has not yet come.”
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do [it].
His mother says to the servants, “Do whatever He may tell you.”
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.
(Now there were six stone waterpots set there, according to the purification rites of the Jews, containing 20 or 30 gallons each.)
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus says to them, “Fill the pots with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare [it].
So He says to them, “Now, draw some out and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So they took 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,
Well, when the master of ceremonies tasted the water that had become wine—he did not know where it came from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew—he calls 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.
and says to him: “Everybody serves the good wine first, then, when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You have 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.
This, the first of the miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed into 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 He went down to Capernaum—He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples—but they did not stay there many days.
13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
Now the Jewish Passover was near, so 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:
And in the Temple He found people selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the moneychangers at work.
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;
When He had made a scourge out of cords, He drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and as for the moneychangers, He overturned the tables and scattered the coins.
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
And to the dove-sellers He said: “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father's House into a marketplace!”
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
Then His disciples remembered that it stands written, “Zeal for Your House consumes me.”
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do you show us, since you do these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it.”
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
So the Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and you will raise it in three days?!”
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
But He was speaking about 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.
Therefore, when He was raised from among the dead His disciples remembered that He had said this; so they believed the Scripture, even the word that 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.
Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed into His name, observing the signs that He was doing.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all [men],
But as for Jesus Himself, He did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
and that He had no need that anyone should testify about man, because He Himself knew what was in man.
