John 2
1 And [on] the third day a wedding happened 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 also Jesus was called, and His disciples, to the wedding;
Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
3 and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus says to Him, “They have no wine”;
And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him: “They have no wine left.”
4 Jesus says to her, “What [is that] to Me and to you, woman? My hour is not yet come.”
“What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
5 His mother says to the servants, “Whatever He may say to you—do.”
His mother said to the servants: “Do whatever he tells 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.
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 to them, “Fill the water-jugs with water”; and they filled them—to the brim;
Jesus said to the servants: “Fill the water-jars with water.”
8 and He says to them, “Draw out, now, and carry to the headwaiter”; and they bore.
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 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, 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 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.”
He called the bridegroom and said to him: “Every one puts good wine on the table first, and inferior wine afterwards, when his guests have drunk freely; but you have kept back the good wine till 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, 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 brothers, and His disciples; and they did not remain there 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 Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 and He found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,
In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money-changers at their counters.
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 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 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 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 is written: “The zeal of Your house ate Me up”;
His disciples remembered that Scripture said — ‘Zeal for thy House will consume me.’
18 the Jews then answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us—that You do these things?”
Upon this the Jews asked Jesus: “What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?”
19 Jesus answered and said to 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 The Jews, therefore, said, “This temple was built [in] forty-six years, and will You raise it up in three days?”
“This Temple,” replied the Jews, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
21 But He spoke concerning the temple of His body;
But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
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.
Afterwards, 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 And as He was in Jerusalem, in the Passover, in the celebration, many believed in His Name, beholding His signs that He was doing;
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 and Jesus Himself was not trusting Himself to them, because of His knowing all [men],
But Jesus did not trust himself to them, since he could read every heart,
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 did not need that others should tell him what men were; for he could of himself read what was in men.
