John 2
1 Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
3 And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him: “They have no wine left.”
When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
4 “What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants: “Do whatever he tells you.”
His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, 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.
Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
7 Jesus said to the servants: “Fill the water-jars with water.”
Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So 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.
He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
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 —
When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom
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 said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until 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 signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in 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, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
13 Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money-changers at their counters.
He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money 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,
He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables.
16 and said to the pigeon-dealers: “Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s House into a market-house.”
To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
17 His disciples remembered that Scripture said — ‘Zeal for thy House will consume me.’
His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat 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 him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
19 “Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it in three days.”
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 “This Temple,” replied the Jews, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
21 But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
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.
When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, 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.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, since he could read every heart,
But Jesus did not entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
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.
and because he did not need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
