John 2
1 And the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,
2 Now Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
and Jesus also was invited and His disciples.
3 And when the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."
Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine."
4 Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come."
"Leave the matter in my hands," He replied; "the time for me to act has not yet come."
5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he tells you to do, do it."
6 Now there were six stone water jars set there after the Jewish manner of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
Now there were six stone jars standing there (in accordance with the Jewish regulations for purification), each large enough to hold twenty gallons or more.
7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the water jars with water." They filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said to the attendants, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them to the brim.
8 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it.
Then He said, "Now, take some out, and carry it to the President of the feast."
9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,
So they carried some to him. And no sooner had the President tasted the water now turned into wine, than--not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn the water knew--he called to the bridegroom
10 and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now."
and said to him, "It is usual to put on the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then that which is inferior. But you have kept the good wine till now."
11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
This, the first of His miracles, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee, and thus displayed His glorious power; and His disciples believed in Him.
12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother and brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
Afterwards He went down to Capernaum--He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and they made a short stay there.
13 The Jewish Passover was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
But the Jewish Passover was approaching, and for this Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting.
And He found in the Temple the dealers in cattle and sheep and in pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there.
15 And he made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables.
So He plaited a whip of rushes, and drove all--both sheep and bullocks--out of the Temple. The small coin of the brokers He upset on the ground and overturned their tables.
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father's house a marketplace."
And to the pigeon-dealers He said, "Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's house into a market."
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."
This recalled to His disciples the words of Scripture, "My zeal for Thy House will consume me."
18 The Jewish leaders therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?"
So the Jews asked Him, "What proof of your authority do you exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?"
19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
"Demolish this Sanctuary," said Jesus, "and in three days I will rebuild it."
20 The Jewish leaders therefore said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"
"It has taken forty-six years," replied the Jews, "to build this Sanctuary, and will you rebuild it in three days?"
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But He was speaking of the Sanctuary of His body.
22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
When however He had risen from among the dead, His disciples recollected that He had said this; and they believed the Scripture and the teaching which Jesus had given them.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, after seeing his signs which he did.
Now when He was in Jerusalem, at the Festival of the Passover, many became believers in Him through watching the miracles He performed.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
But for His part, Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew them all,
25 and because he did not need anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
and did not need any one's testimony concerning a man, for He of Himself knew what was in the man.
