< John 2 >

1 Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
And on the third day after, there was a marriage at Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
And Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.
3 And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him: “They have no wine left.”
And the wine falling short, the mother of Jesus saith unto Him, They have no wine.
4 “What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? my time is not yet come.
5 His mother said to the servants: “Do whatever he tells you.”
His mother saith to the servants, Whatsoever he ordereth 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.
And there were six stone waterpots, placed according to the custom of purifying among the Jews, containing each about two or three firkins.
7 Jesus said to the servants: “Fill the water-jars with water.”
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water-pots with water: and they filled them up 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.
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and carry it to the master of the feast. And they carried it to him.
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 manager of the feast had tasted the water which was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the servants, that drew the water, knew, ) he called the bride-groom,
10 He called the bridegroom and said to him: “Every one 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 saith unto him, Every man sets out good wine at first, and when they have drank plentifully, then that which is worse; but thou hast keep 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 beginning of his miracles Jesus wrought at Cana of Galilee, and made manifest his glory: and his disciples believed on 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 brethren, and his disciples: but they staid there not many days.
13 Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
For the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those that sold oxen,
14 In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money-changers at their counters.
and sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting:
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 of small cords He drove them all, out of the temple; with the sheep and the oxen: and He poured out the changers money, and threw down the tables.
16 and said to the pigeon-dealers: “Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s House into a market-house.”
And said to them that sold doves, Take away these things from hence, and make not my Father's house an house of traffick.
17 His disciples remembered that Scripture said — ‘Zeal for thy House will consume me.’
And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Upon this the Jews asked Jesus: “What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?”
The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him, What sign dost thou shew us, seeing thou dost these things?
19 “Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it in three days.”
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again: then said the Jews,
20 “This Temple,” replied the Jews, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
Forty and six years has this temple been in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? but He spake of the temple of his body.
21 But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
Therefore when he was risen from the dead,
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.
his disciples remembered, that He had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had 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.
And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover on the feast-day, many believed in his name, seeing his miracles, which He wrought.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, since he could read every heart,
But Jesus did not trust Himself to them;
25 and because he did not need that others should tell him what men were; for he could of himself read what was in men.
for He knew all men, and He had no need that any should testify concerning man; for He knew what was in man.
