John 2
1 And [on] the third day a wedding happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,
Now two days after this there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
2 and also Jesus was called, and His disciples, to the wedding;
Jesus also was invited to the wedding, and his disciples.
3 and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus says to Him, “They have no wine”;
And when the wine ran short, Jesus’ mother said to him, "They have no wine."
4 Jesus says to her, “What [is that] to Me and to you, woman? My hour is not yet come.”
"Woman," said Jesus, "what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come."
5 His mother says to the servants, “Whatever He may say to you—do.”
His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he may tell you to do, do it."
6 And there were six water-jugs of stone there, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.
Now there were six stone water - jars standing there, according to the Jewish rites of purification, each holding about twenty gallons.
7 Jesus says to them, “Fill the water-jugs with water”; and they filled them—to the brim;
Jesus said, "Fill up the jars with water."
8 and He says to them, “Draw out, now, and carry to the headwaiter”; and they bore.
So they filled them brimful. Then he said, "Draw some out now, and carry it to the master 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,
So they carried it. And when the master of the feast had tasted of the water which had been made wine, not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn it knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him.
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.”
"Everybody serves first the good wine, and when people have drunk freely, the poor wine; but you have 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;
This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.
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.
Afterward he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and remained there a few days.
13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 and He found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,
There he found in the temple those who were selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting there.
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,
So he plaited a scourge of rushes, and drove all out of the temple - both the sheep and oxen. He began to pour out the coins of the money- changers, and to overturn their 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 said to those who were selling doves. "Take these things away! Make not my Father’s house a house of trade!
17 And His disciples remembered that it is written: “The zeal of Your house ate Me up”;
His disciples recalled that it is written, The zeal of thine house will devour me.
18 the Jews then answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us—that You do these things?”
Then the Jews asked Jesus, "What sign are you going to show us, seeing that you do these things?"
19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
"Destroy this temple," answered Jesus, "and in three days I will raise it up."
20 The Jews, therefore, said, “This temple was built [in] forty-six years, and will You raise it up in three days?”
The Jews retorted, "This Temple took forty-six years to build, and will you ‘raise it in three days’?"
21 But He spoke concerning the temple of His body;
But he was speaking about the temple of his body; and when the disciples recalled what he had said,
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.
after he had been raised from the dead, they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
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;
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, when they beheld the signs which he did;
24 and Jesus Himself was not trusting Himself to them, because of His knowing all [men],
but for his part Jesus was not trusting himself to them, because he knew 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 did not need any one’s testimony concerning man, for he himself knew what was in man.
