John 2
1 The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him, ‘They have no wine left.’
4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
‘What do you want with me?’ answered Jesus. ‘My time has not come yet.’
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’
6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
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 pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the water-jars with water.’
8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
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 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom
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 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!”
He called the groom and said to him, ‘Everyone 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!’
11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed 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 went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few 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 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money changers at their counters.
15 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.
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 To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
and said to the pigeon-dealers, ‘Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s house into a market house.’
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
His disciples remembered that scripture said – “Passion for your house will consume me.”
18 The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you 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 answered 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 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you 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 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
22 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.
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.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
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 didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.
25 and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
He did not need anyone to tell him about people because he could read what was in them.
