John 2
1 Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
And the third day a wedding occurred in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the wedding.
3 And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him, ‘They have no wine left.’
And having lacked wine the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.
4 ‘What do you want with me?’ answered Jesus. ‘My time has not come yet.’
And Jesus says to her, What is with me and with thee, woman? My hour is not yet here.
5 His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’
His mother says to the helpers, Whatever he may say to you, do.
6 There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
Now there were six stone water pots laying there in accordance with the purification of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.
7 Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the water-jars with water.’
Jesus says to them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them until over.
8 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.
And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry to the feast-ruler. And they carried.
9 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 –
And when the feast-ruler tasted the water that became wine, and had not known from where it was (but the helpers who drew the water had known), the feast-ruler called the bridegroom,
10 He called the groom and said to him, ‘Everyone 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!’
and says to him, Every man sets out the good wine first, and when they drank much, then the lesser. Thou have kept the good wine until now.
11 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.
This is the beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and he manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
12 After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum – he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; but they stayed there only a few days.
After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples. And they remained there not many days.
13 Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money changers at their counters.
And he found sitting in the temple those who sell oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers.
15 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,
And having made a whip from cords, he drove all out from the temple, both the sheep and the oxen. And he poured out the coins of the moneychangers, and turned over their tables.
16 and said to the pigeon-dealers, ‘Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s house into a market house.’
And he said to those who sell the doves, Take these things from here. Make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
17 His disciples remembered that scripture said – “Passion for your house will consume me.”
And his disciples remembered that it is written, Zeal for thy house will consume me.
18 Then some of the religious authorities asked Jesus, ‘What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?’
The Jews therefore answered, and said to him, What sign do thou show us since thou do these things?
19 ‘Destroy this temple,’ was his answer, ‘and I will raise it in three days.’
Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 ‘This Temple,’ the authorities replied, ‘has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to “raise it in three days”?’
The Jews therefore said, This temple was forty-six years being built, and will thou raise it up in three days?
21 But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
But that man spoke about the temple of his body.
22 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.
When therefore he was raised from the dead his disciples remembered that he spoke this, and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus said.
23 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.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover during the feast, many believed in his name seeing his signs that he did.
24 But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.
But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men,
25 He did not need anyone to tell him about people because he could read what was in them.
and because he had no need that any man should testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
