< John 2 >

1 Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,
And, on the third day, a marriage, took place, in Cana, of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there, —
2 and Jesus also was invited and His disciples.
and Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, unto the marriage.
3 Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine."
And, wine falling short, the mother of Jesus saith unto him—Wine, have they none!
4 "Leave the matter in my hands," He replied; "the time for me to act has not yet come."
And Jesus saith unto her—What part can I take with thee, O woman? Not yet, hath come, mine hour.
5 His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he tells you to do, do it."
His mother saith unto them who are ministering—Whatsoever he may say to you, do!
6 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.
Now there were there, six stone water-vessels, placed, according to the purification of the Jews; holding each, two or three measures.
7 Jesus said to the attendants, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them to the brim.
Jesus saith unto them—Fill the vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 Then He said, "Now, take some out, and carry it to the President of the feast."
And he saith unto them—Draw out now, and be bearing unto the master of the feast. And they bare.
9 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
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,
10 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."
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.
11 This, the first of His miracles, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee, and thus displayed His glorious power; and His disciples believed in Him.
This, beginning of his signs, did Jesus, in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 Afterwards He went down to Capernaum--He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and they made a short stay there.
After this, he came down into Capernaum, —he, and his mother and brethren, and his disciples; and, there, they abode, not many days.
13 But the Jewish Passover was approaching, and for this Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
And, near, was the passover of the Jews; and, Jesus, went up unto Jerusalem.
14 And He found in the Temple the dealers in cattle and sheep and in pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there.
And he found, in the temple, them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money-changers sitting.
15 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.
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;
16 And to the pigeon-dealers He said, "Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's house into a market."
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.
17 This recalled to His disciples the words of Scripture, "My zeal for Thy House will consume me."
His disciples remembered that it was written—The zeal of thy house, eateth me up.
18 So the Jews asked Him, "What proof of your authority do you exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?"
The Jews therefore answered, and said unto him, What sign, dost thou point out to us, in that, these things, thou doest?
19 "Demolish this Sanctuary," said Jesus, "and in three days I will rebuild it."
Jesus answered, and said unto them—Take down this shrine, and, in three days, will I raise it.
20 "It has taken forty-six years," replied the Jews, "to build this Sanctuary, and will you rebuild it in three days?"
The Jews, therefore, said—In forty and six years, was this shrine built. And, thou, in three days, wilt raise it!
21 But He was speaking of the Sanctuary of His body.
But, he, was speaking concerning the shrine of his body.
22 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.
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.
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem, at the Festival of the Passover, many became believers in Him through watching the miracles He performed.
Now, when he was in Jerusalem, during the passover, during the feast, many, believed on his name, viewing his signs which he was doing.
24 But for His part, Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew them all,
Jesus himself, however, was not trusting himself unto them, by reason of his understanding them all,
25 and did not need any one's testimony concerning a man, for He of Himself knew what was in the man.
and because he had, no need, that anyone should bear witness concerning man; for, he, understood what was in man.
