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.
Jesus was also invited to the wedding, and so were his disciples.
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 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 concern is that to yoʋ or to me? My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother saith to the servants, Whatever he saith to you, do it.
But 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 holding twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus saith to them, Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them up 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 to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it,
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 feast tasted the water, which had been turned into wine. He did not know where it had come from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then the master of the feast 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 to him, “Everyone else serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have drunk freely; but yoʋ have kept the good 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 did this in Cana of Galilee as the first of his signs. 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 for a few days.
13 And the passover of the Jews was near; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, so 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 those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and he also found the money changers sitting 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 of cords and drove them all out of the temple courts, along with their sheep and oxen. He also 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.
Then he said to those who were selling doves, “Take these things away from here; stop making my Father's house a marketplace.”
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.”
And his disciples remembered that it is written, “Zeal for yoʋr house will consume me.”
18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign dost thou show us, seeing thou doest these things?
In response the Jews said to him, “What sign can yoʋ show us to prove yoʋr 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 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?
The Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will yoʋ raise it up in three days?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But he 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.
So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and 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 Jesus was in Jerusalem during the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name because they saw the signs he was doing.
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 all men.
25 and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
