John 2
1 And on the third day, a wedding was held in 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 Now Jesus was also invited to the wedding, with his disciples.
Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
3 And when the wine was failing, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him, “They have no wine left.”
4 And Jesus said to her: “What is that to me and to you, woman? My hour has not yet arrived.”
“What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now in that place, there were six stone water jars, for the purification ritual of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.
There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” And they filled them to the very top.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the water-jars with water.”
8 And Jesus said to them, “Now draw from it, and carry it to the chief steward of the feast.” And they took 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 Then, when the chief steward had tasted the water made into wine, since he did not know where it was from, for only the servants who had drawn the water knew, the chief steward called the 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 he said to him: “Every man offers the good wine first, and then, when they have become inebriated, he offers what is worse. But you have kept the good wine until 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 till now!”
11 This was the beginning of the signs that Jesus accomplished in Cana of Galilee, and it manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in 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 descended to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, but they did not remain there for 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 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and so Jesus ascended to Jerusalem.
Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found, sitting in the temple, sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers.
In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money changers at their counters.
15 And when he had made something like a whip out of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, including the sheep and the oxen. And he poured out the brass coins of the moneychangers, and he overturned their 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 to those who were selling doves, he said: “Take these things out of here, and do not make my Father’s house into a house of commerce.”
and said to the pigeon-dealers, “Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s house into a market house.”
17 And truly, his disciples were reminded that it is written: “Zeal for your house consumes me.”
His disciples remembered that scripture said – ‘Passion for your house will consume me.’
18 Then the Jews responded and said to him, “What sign can you show to us, that you may do 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 responded and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
“Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it in three days.”
20 Then the Jews said, “This temple has been built up over forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?”
“This Temple,” the authorities replied, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
21 Yet he was speaking about the Temple of his body.
But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
22 Therefore, when he had resurrected from the dead, his disciples were reminded that he had said this, and they believed in the Scriptures and in the word that Jesus had spoken.
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 Now while he was at Jerusalem during the Passover, on the day of the feast, many trusted in his name, seeing his signs that he was accomplishing.
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, because he himself had knowledge of all persons,
But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.
25 and because he had no need of anyone to offer testimony about a man. For he knew what was within a man.
He did not need anyone to tell him about people because he could read what was in them.
