John 2
1 And on the third day there was a marriage-feast in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
2 And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the feast.
and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3 And they had no wine, because the wine of the feast had failed. Then the mother of Jesus saith to him, There is no wine.
When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
4 Jesus saith to her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? My hour is not yet come.
“Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother saith to the servants, Whatever he saith to you, do it.
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
6 Now there were set there six water-pots of stone, in conformity with the Jews' custom of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus saith to them, Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8 And he saith to them, Draw out now, and bear it to the master of the feast. And they bore it.
“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
9 But when the master of the feast tasted the water that had been made wine, not knowing whence it was, but the servants who drew the water knew, he called the bridegroom
and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
10 and said to him, Every man setteth on the good wine first, and when men have drunk freely, that which is worse. Thou hast kept the good wine until now.
and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”
11 This beginning of the signs Jesus made in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus 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 abode there not many days.
After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
13 And the passover of the Jews was near; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting.
In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
15 And having made a scourge of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and poured out the money of the exchangers, and overthrew the tables;
So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16 and said to those who sold the doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.”
His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign dost thou show us, seeing thou doest these things?
On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
20 Then said the Jews, Forty-six years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.
22 When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.
After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
23 And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, at the feast, many believed in his name, when they saw his signs which he wrought.
While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men;
But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.
25 and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
