John 2
1 And on the third day after, there was a marriage at Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
2 And Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.
Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
3 And the wine falling short, the mother of Jesus saith unto Him, They have no wine.
And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him, “They have no wine left.”
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? my time is not yet come.
“What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
5 His mother saith to the servants, Whatsoever he ordereth you to do, do it.
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 And there were six stone waterpots, placed according to the custom of purifying among the Jews, containing each about two or three firkins.
There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water-pots with water: and they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the water-jars with water.”
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and carry it to the master of the feast. And they carried it to him.
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.
9 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,
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 –
10 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.
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 until now!”
11 This beginning of his miracles Jesus wrought at Cana of Galilee, and made manifest his glory: and his disciples believed on Him.
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.
12 After this He went down to Capernaum, He and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they staid there not many days.
After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum – he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; but they stayed there only a few days.
13 For the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those that sold oxen,
Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 and sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting:
In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money changers at their counters.
15 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.
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,
16 And said to them that sold doves, Take away these things from hence, and make not my Father's house an house of traffick.
and said to the pigeon-dealers, “Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s house into a market house.”
17 And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
His disciples remembered that scripture said – ‘Passion for your house will consume me.’
18 The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him, What sign dost thou shew us, seeing thou dost these things?
Then some of the religious authorities asked Jesus, “What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?”
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again: then said the Jews,
“Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it in three days.”
20 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.
“This Temple,” the authorities replied, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
21 Therefore when he was risen from the dead,
But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
22 his disciples remembered, that He had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
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.
23 And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover on the feast-day, many believed in his name, seeing his miracles, which He wrought.
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.
24 But Jesus did not trust Himself to them;
But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.
25 for He knew all men, and He had no need that any should testify concerning man; for He knew what was in man.
He did not need anyone to tell him about people because he could read what was in them.
