1 And on the third day there was a marriage-feast 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 And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the feast.
Jesus, also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.
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.
The wine falling short, 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 answered, Woman, what have you to do with me? My time is 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 shall bid 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 there were six water pots of stone, containing two or three baths each, placed there for the Jewish rites of cleansing.
7 Jesus saith to them, Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said to them, Fill the pots with water. And 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 said, Draw, now, and carry to the director of the feast. And 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
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, 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.
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 the signs Jesus made in Cana of Galilee, and manifested 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 his brothers, and his disciples; and they abode there not many days.
Afterward, he went to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; but they staid not there many days.
13 And the passover of the Jews 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, and 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 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;
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 and said to those who sold the doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
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 thy house will consume me.”
(Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture, "My zeal for thy house consumes me.")
18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign dost thou show us, seeing thou doest 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 and said to 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 Then said the Jews, Forty-six years was this temple in building; and wilt thou 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 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.
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 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 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 all men;
But Jesus did not trust himself with them, because 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 needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.
