John 2
1 Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there.
2 Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
Now both Jesus and His disciples had been invited to the wedding.
3 And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him, “They have no wine left.”
So when the wine had given out, Jesus' mother says to Him, “They don't have any wine!”
4 “What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
Jesus says to her: “What is that to you and me, woman? My time has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
His mother says to the servants, “Do whatever He may tell you.”
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 waterpots set there, according to the purification rites of the Jews, containing 20 or 30 gallons each.)
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the water-jars with water.”
Jesus says to them, “Fill the pots with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
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.
So He says to them, “Now, draw some out and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So they took it.
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 –
Well, when the master of ceremonies tasted the water that had become wine—he did not know where it came from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew—he calls the bridegroom
10 He called the groom and said to him, “Everyone puts good wine on the table first, and inferior wine afterward, when his guests have drunk freely; but you have kept back the good wine till now!”
and says to him: “Everybody serves the good wine first, then, when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You 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, the first of the miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed into 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, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples—but they did not stay there many days.
13 Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, so 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 in the Temple He found people selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the moneychangers at work.
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,
When He had made a scourge out of cords, He drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and as for the moneychangers, He overturned the tables and scattered the coins.
16 and said to the pigeon-dealers, “Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s house into a market house.”
And to the dove-sellers He said: “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father's House into a marketplace!”
17 His disciples remembered that scripture said – ‘Passion for your house will consume me.’
Then His disciples remembered that it stands written, “Zeal for Your House consumes me.”
18 Then some of the religious authorities asked Jesus, “What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?”
So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do you show us, since you 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.”
20 “This Temple,” the authorities replied, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
So the Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and you will raise it in three days?!”
21 But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
But He was speaking about the temple of His body.
22 Afterward, 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.
Therefore, when He was raised from among the dead His disciples remembered that He had said this; so they believed the Scripture, even the word that Jesus had spoken.
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 while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed into His name, observing the signs that He was doing.
24 But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.
But as for Jesus Himself, He did not entrust 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 that He had no need that anyone should testify about man, because He Himself knew what was in man.
