< John 2 >

1 Three days after, there was a marriage in Cana, of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there.
2 Jesus, also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.
Jesus was also invited to the wedding, and so were his disciples.
3 The wine falling short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesus answered, Woman, what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come.
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to yoʋ or to me? My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he shall bid you.
But his mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now there were six water pots of stone, containing two or three baths each, placed there for the Jewish rites of cleansing.
Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus said to them, Fill the pots with water. And they filled them to the brim.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
8 Then he said, Draw, now, and carry to the director of the feast. And they did so.
Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it,
9 When the director of the feast had tasted the wine made of water, not knowing whence it was, (but the servants who drew the water knew, )
and the master of the feast tasted the water, which had been turned into wine. He did not know where it had come from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then the master of the feast called the bridegroom aside
10 he said, addressing the bridegroom, Every person presents the best wine first, and worse wine afterward, when the guests have drunk largely; but you have reserved the best till now.
and said to him, “Everyone else serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have drunk freely; but yoʋ have kept the good wine until now.”
11 This first miracle Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, displaying his glory: and his disciples believed on him.
Jesus did this in Cana of Galilee as the first of his signs. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12 Afterward, he went to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; but they staid not there many days.
After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.
13 And the Jewish passover being nigh, Jesus went to Jerusalem;
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 and finding changers sitting in the temple, and people who sold cattle and sheep, and doves;
In the temple courts he found those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and he also found the money changers sitting at their tables.
15 he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and cattle, scattering the coin of the changers, and oversetting their tables.
So he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple courts, along with their sheep and oxen. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16 and he said to them, who sold doves, Take these things hence. Make not my Father's house a house of traffic.
Then he said to those who were selling doves, “Take these things away from here; stop making my Father's house a marketplace.”
17 (Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture, "My zeal for thy house consumes me.")
And his disciples remembered that it is written, “Zeal for yoʋr house will consume me.”
18 Therefore, the Jews answered, and said to him, By what miracle do you show us your title to do these things?
In response the Jews said to him, “What sign can yoʋ show us to prove yoʋr authority to do these things?”
19 Jesus answering, said to them, Destroy this temple, and I will rear it again in three days.
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 The Jews replied, Forty and six years was this temple in building; and you would rear it in three days?
The Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will yoʋ raise it up in three days?”
21 (But, by the temple, he meant 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, and they understood the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.
So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
23 While he was at Jerusalem, during the feast of the passover, many believed on him, when they saw the miracles which he performed.
While Jesus was in Jerusalem during the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name because they saw the signs he was doing.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself with them, because he knew them all.
But Jesus did not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men.
25 He needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.
He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
