John 2
1 And on the third day there was a marriage-feast in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.
Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
2 And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the feast.
Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was 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.
And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him: “They have no wine left.”
4 Jesus saith to her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? My hour is not yet come.
“What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
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.
There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of ‘purification,’ each holding twenty or 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 water-jars with water.”
8 And he saith to them, Draw out now, and bear it to the master of the feast. And they bore it.
And, when they had filled them to the brim, he added: “Now take some out, and carry it to the Master of the Feast.” The servants 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, when the Master of the Feast had tasted the water which had now become wine, not knowing where it had come from — although the servants who had taken out 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 called the bridegroom and said to him: “Every one puts good wine on the table first, and inferior wine afterwards, when his guests have drunk freely; but you have kept back 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 sign of his mission, Jesus gave at Cana in Galilee, and by it 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, Jesus went down to Capernaum — he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; but they stayed there only a few days.
13 And the passover of the Jews was near; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Then, as 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 people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money-changers at their counters.
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, and the sheep and bullocks as well; he scattered the money 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.
and said to the pigeon-dealers: “Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s House into a market-house.”
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.”
His disciples remembered that Scripture said — ‘Zeal for thy House will consume me.’
18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign dost thou show us, seeing thou doest these things?
Upon this the Jews asked Jesus: “What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
“Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it 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?
“This Temple,” replied the Jews, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
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.
Afterwards, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the passage of Scripture, and the words 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 Jesus was in Jerusalem, during the Passover Festival, many came to trust in him, when they saw the signs of his mission that he was giving.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men;
But Jesus did not trust himself to them, since he could read every heart,
25 and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
and because he did not need that others should tell him what men were; for he could of himself read what was in men.
