< John 2 >

1 Now two days after this there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding, and his disciples.
And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when the wine ran short, Jesus’ mother said to him, "They have no wine."
And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine.
4 "Woman," said Jesus, "what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come."
And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.
5 His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he may tell you to do, do it."
His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.
6 Now there were six stone water - jars standing there, according to the Jewish rites of purification, each holding about twenty gallons.
Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.
7 Jesus said, "Fill up the jars with water."
Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 So they filled them brimful. Then he said, "Draw some out now, and carry it to the master of the feast."
And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.
9 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.
And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,
10 "Everybody serves first the good wine, and when people have drunk freely, the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."
And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12 Afterward he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and remained there a few days.
After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.
13 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 There he found in the temple those who were selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting there.
And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
15 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,
And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
16 and said to those who were selling doves. "Take these things away! Make not my Father’s house a house of trade!
And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
17 His disciples recalled that it is written, The zeal of thine house will devour me.
And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
18 Then the Jews asked Jesus, "What sign are you going to show us, seeing that you do these things?"
The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
19 "Destroy this temple," answered Jesus, "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 up.
20 The Jews retorted, "This Temple took forty-six years to build, and will you ‘raise it in three days’?"
The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body; and when the disciples recalled what he had said,
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 after he had been raised from the dead, they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.
23 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;
Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.
24 but for his part Jesus was not trusting himself to them, because he knew all men,
But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,
25 and did not need any one’s testimony concerning man, for he himself knew what was in man.
And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.
