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, 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, why do you come to me? My time has not yet 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 there were six stone water pots there used for the Jewish ceremonial washing, each containing two to three metretes.
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 water pots 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 told the servants, “Take some out now and take it to the head waiter.” So they did.
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
The head waiter tasted the water that had become wine, but he did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew). Then he called the bridegroom
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 serves the good wine first and then the cheaper wine when they are drunk. But you 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.
This first sign Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and 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.

13 And 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 sellers of oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money changers were sitting there.
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 all of them out from the temple, including both the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers and overthrew 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.
To the pigeon sellers he said, “Take these things away from here. Stop making the house of my Father a marketplace.”
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “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?
Then the Jewish authorities responded and said to him, “What sign will you show us, since you are doing these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Jesus replied, “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 Jewish authorities said, “This temple was built in forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
However, 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.

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 when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover festival, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he did.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men;
But Jesus did not trust in 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.
because he did not need anyone to testify to him about man, for he knew what was in man.
