< John 2 >
1 And [on] the third day a wedding happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,
On the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 and also Jesus was called, and His disciples, to the wedding;
and Jesus and His disciples were invited to the marriage.
3 and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus says to Him, “They have no wine”;
And they had no wine, because the wine of the marriage was exhausted. Then the mother of Jesus says to Him, There is no wine.
4 Jesus says to her, “What [is that] to Me and to you, woman? My hour is not yet come.”
And Jesus says to her, What is that to me and to thee? O woman, my hour is not yet come.
5 His mother says to the servants, “Whatever He may say to you—do.”
His mother says to the servants, Do whatsoever He may say to you.
6 And there were six water-jugs of stone there, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.
And there were six waterpots of stone sitting there according to the purification of the Jews, containing about two or three firkins. Jesus says to them,
7 Jesus says to them, “Fill the water-jugs with water”; and they filled them—to the brim;
Fill the waterpots with water. They filled them to the brim.
8 and He says to them, “Draw out, now, and carry to the headwaiter”; and they bore.
And He says to them, Now draw out and carry to the chief ruler of the feast,
9 And as the headwaiter tasted the water become wine, and did not know where it is from (but the servants knew, who have drawn the water), the headwaiter calls the bridegroom,
and they brought it to him. And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water, having been made wine, and did not know whence it is (but the servants having drawn the water knew), the ruler calls the groom,
10 and says to him, “Every man, at first, sets forth the good wine; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; you kept the good wine until now.”
and says to him, Every man first sets forth the good wine; and when they have drunk freely, the inferior: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This [is the] beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him;
Jesus did this, the beginning of miracles, in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed on Him.
12 after this He went down to Capernaum, He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not remain there many days.
After this He and His mother, and His brothers and His disciples went down into Capernaum, and abode there not many days.
13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
And the passover of the Jews were nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 and He found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,
And He found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting:
15 and having made a whip of small cords, He put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money-changers, and He overthrew the tables,
and having made a scourge of cords, He cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the money of the exchangers, and over-turned the tables.
16 and He said to those selling the doves, “Take these things from here; do not make the house of My Father a house of merchandise.”
And He said to those selling doves; Take these things hence, make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.
17 And His disciples remembered that it is written: “The zeal of Your house ate Me up”;
And His disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house doth eat me up.
18 the Jews then answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us—that You do these things?”
Then the Jews responded and said to Him, What sign do you show us, because you do these things?
19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
Jesus responded and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will rear it up.
20 The Jews, therefore, said, “This temple was built [in] forty-six years, and will You raise it up in three days?”
Then the Jews said, Forty and six years was this temple being built, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But He spoke concerning the temple of His body;
But He spoke concerning the temple of His body.
22 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.
Then when He arose from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said these things, and believed the Scripture and words which Jesus spoke.
23 And as He was in Jerusalem, in the Passover, in the celebration, many believed in His Name, beholding His signs that He was doing;
And when He was in Jerusalem at the feast, during the passover, many believed on His name, seeing His miracles which He was doing;
24 and Jesus Himself was not trusting Himself to them, because of His knowing all [men],
and Jesus did not intrust Himself to them because He knows all men,
25 and because He had no need that any should testify concerning man, for He Himself was knowing what was in man.
and because He had no need that any one should witness concerning man; because He was knowing what was in man.
