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 two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the feast.
And Jesus with his disciples came as guests.
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 they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith to her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? My hour is not yet come.
Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come.
5 His mother saith to the servants, Whatever he saith to you, do it.
His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.
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 pots of stone, every one taking two or three firkins of water, were placed there for the purpose of washing, as is the way of the Jews.
7 Jesus saith to them, Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.
8 And he saith to them, Draw out now, and bear it to the master of the feast. And they bore it.
Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.
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
After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,
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 to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.
11 This beginning of the signs Jesus made in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith 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, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.
13 And the passover of the Jews was near; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and 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.
And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:
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;
And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning 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.
And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.”
And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.
18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign dost thou show us, seeing thou doest these things?
Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty-six years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But his words were about that holy building which was 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.
So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.
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.
Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men;
But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.
25 and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.
