John 2
1 Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in 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.
3 And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him, “They have no wine left.”
Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine."
4 “What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
"Leave the matter in my hands," He replied; "the time for me to act has not yet come."
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he tells you to do, do it."
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 jars standing there (in accordance with the Jewish regulations for purification), each large enough to hold twenty gallons or more.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the water-jars with water.”
Jesus said to the attendants, "Fill the jars with water." And 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.
Then He said, "Now, take some out, and carry it to the President of the feast."
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 –
So they carried some to him. And no sooner had the President tasted the water now turned into wine, than--not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn the water knew--he called to 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 said to him, "It is usual to put on the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then that which is inferior. But you have kept the good wine till 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 His miracles, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee, and thus displayed His glorious power; 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.
Afterwards He went down to Capernaum--He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and they made a short stay there.
13 Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
But the Jewish Passover was approaching, and for this 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 in the Temple the dealers in cattle and sheep and in pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there.
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,
So He plaited a whip of rushes, and drove all--both sheep and bullocks--out of the Temple. The small coin of the brokers He upset on the ground and overturned 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 to the pigeon-dealers He said, "Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's house into a market."
17 His disciples remembered that scripture said – ‘Passion for your house will consume me.’
This recalled to His disciples the words of Scripture, "My 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?”
So the Jews asked Him, "What proof of your authority do you exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?"
19 “Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it in three days.”
"Demolish this Sanctuary," said Jesus, "and in three days I will rebuild it."
20 “This Temple,” the authorities replied, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
"It has taken forty-six years," replied the Jews, "to build this Sanctuary, and will you rebuild it in three days?"
21 But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
But He was speaking of the Sanctuary 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.
When however He had risen from among the dead, His disciples recollected that He had said this; and they believed the Scripture and the teaching which Jesus had given them.
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 Festival of the Passover, many became believers in Him through watching the miracles He performed.
24 But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.
But for His part, Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew them all,
25 He did not need anyone to tell him about people because he could read what was in them.
and did not need any one's testimony concerning a man, for He of Himself knew what was in the man.
