John 2
1 And, on the third day, a marriage, took place, in Cana, of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there, —
Now two days after this there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
2 and Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, unto the marriage.
Jesus also was invited to the wedding, and his disciples.
3 And, wine falling short, the mother of Jesus saith unto him—Wine, have they none!
And when the wine ran short, Jesus’ mother said to him, "They have no wine."
4 And Jesus saith unto her—What part can I take with thee, O woman? Not yet, hath come, mine hour.
"Woman," said Jesus, "what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come."
5 His mother saith unto them who are ministering—Whatsoever he may say to you, do!
His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he may tell you to do, do it."
6 Now there were there, six stone water-vessels, placed, according to the purification of the Jews; holding each, two or three measures.
Now there were six stone water - jars standing there, according to the Jewish rites of purification, each holding about twenty gallons.
7 Jesus saith unto them—Fill the vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said, "Fill up the jars with water."
8 And he saith unto them—Draw out now, and be bearing unto the master of the feast. And they bare.
So they filled them brimful. Then he said, "Draw some out now, and carry it to the master of the feast."
9 And, when the master of the feast had tasted the water, now made, wine, and knew not whence it was, —though, they who were ministering, knew, even they who had drawn out the water, the master accosteth the bridegroom,
So they carried it. And when the master of the feast had tasted of the water which had been made wine, not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn it knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him.
10 and saith unto him—Every man, first the good wine, setteth out; and, when they had been well-supplied, the inferior: —Thou, hast kept the good wine until, even now.
"Everybody serves first the good wine, and when people have drunk freely, the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."
11 This, beginning of his signs, did Jesus, in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.
12 After this, he came down into Capernaum, —he, and his mother and brethren, and his disciples; and, there, they abode, not many days.
Afterward he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and remained there a few days.
13 And, near, was the passover of the Jews; and, Jesus, went up unto Jerusalem.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found, in the temple, them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money-changers sitting.
There he found in the temple those who were selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting there.
15 And, making a scourge out of rushes, all of them, thrust he forth out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and, the money-changers’ small coins, poured he forth, and, the tables, he overturned;
So he plaited a scourge of rushes, and drove all out of the temple - both the sheep and oxen. He began to pour out the coins of the money- changers, and to overturn their tables,
16 and unto them who were selling, the doves, he said—Take these things hence! Be not making, the house of my Father, a house of merchandise.
and said to those who were selling doves. "Take these things away! Make not my Father’s house a house of trade!
17 His disciples remembered that it was written—The zeal of thy house, eateth me up.
His disciples recalled that it is written, The zeal of thine house will devour me.
18 The Jews therefore answered, and said unto him, What sign, dost thou point out to us, in that, these things, thou doest?
Then the Jews asked Jesus, "What sign are you going to show us, seeing that you do these things?"
19 Jesus answered, and said unto them—Take down this shrine, and, in three days, will I raise it.
"Destroy this temple," answered Jesus, "and in three days I will raise it up."
20 The Jews, therefore, said—In forty and six years, was this shrine built. And, thou, in three days, wilt raise it!
The Jews retorted, "This Temple took forty-six years to build, and will you ‘raise it in three days’?"
21 But, he, was speaking concerning the shrine of his body.
But he was speaking about the temple of his body; and when the disciples recalled what he had said,
22 When, therefore, he had been raised from among the dead, his disciples remembered, that, this, he had been saying; and they believed in the Scripture, and in the word which Jesus had spoken.
after he had been raised from the dead, they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
23 Now, when he was in Jerusalem, during the passover, during the feast, many, believed on his name, viewing his signs which he was doing.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, when they beheld the signs which he did;
24 Jesus himself, however, was not trusting himself unto them, by reason of his understanding them all,
but for his part Jesus was not trusting himself to them, because he knew all men,
25 and because he had, no need, that anyone should bear witness concerning man; for, he, understood what was in man.
and did not need any one’s testimony concerning man, for he himself knew what was in man.
