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 there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
2 And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the feast.
Now both Jesus and His disciples were 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 they ran out of wine, Jesus’ mother told 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, what does that have to do with you and me? My time has not yet come.”
5 His mother saith to the servants, Whatever he saith to you, do it.
His mother told 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.
Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding two to three metretes.
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.
Then He told them, “Now draw some out 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 didn’t realize where it had come from, though 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 brings out the choice wine first, and then the cheaper wine after the guests have drunk freely, but you have saved the best till now!”
11 This beginning of the signs Jesus made in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Jesus did this beginning of signs in Cana of Galilee. He 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, His brothers, and His disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.
13 And the passover of the Jews was near; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
The time for 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.
He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.
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;
When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.
16 and said to those who sold the doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
He told those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Don’t make my Father’s house a market place!”
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.”
Then His disciples remembered that it was 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?
So the Jews answered and asked Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Then said the Jews, Forty-six years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But the temple He had spoken of 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.
After He was raised from the dead, His disciples recalled what He had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words 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.
Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous 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 didn’t commit Himself to them, because He knew all people,
25 and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
and had no need for anyone to testify about people, for He knew what was in people.
