< John 2 >
1 And the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
Three days after, there was a marriage in Cana, of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Now Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
Jesus, also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.
3 And when the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."
The wine falling short, 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."
Jesus answered, Woman, what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come.
5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he shall bid you.
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 water pots of stone, containing two or three baths each, placed there for the Jewish rites of cleansing.
7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the water jars with water." They filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said to them, Fill the pots 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, Draw, now, and carry to the director of the feast. And they did so.
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,
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, )
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."
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.
11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
This first miracle Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, displaying his glory: and his disciples believed on 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.
Afterward, he went to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; but they staid not there many days.
13 The Jewish Passover was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
And the Jewish passover being nigh, Jesus went to Jerusalem;
14 And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting.
and finding changers sitting in the temple, and people who sold cattle and sheep, and doves;
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.
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.
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 he said to them, who sold doves, Take these things hence. Make not my Father's house a house of traffic.
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."
(Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture, "My zeal for thy house consumes me.")
18 The Jewish leaders therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?"
Therefore, the Jews answered, and said to him, By what miracle do you show us your title to do these things?
19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
Jesus answering, said to them, Destroy this temple, and I will rear it again in three days.
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?"
The Jews replied, Forty and six years was this temple in building; and you would rear it in three days?
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
(But, by the temple, he meant 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, 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.
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.
While he was at Jerusalem, during the feast of the passover, many believed on him, when they saw the miracles which he performed.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
But Jesus did not trust himself with 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.
He needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.
