3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”

4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
"Woman," said Jesus, "what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come."
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he may tell you to do, do it."
6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
Now there were six stone water - jars standing there, according to the Jewish rites of purification, each holding about twenty gallons.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said, "Fill up the 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.
So they filled them brimful. Then he said, "Draw some out now, and carry it to the master of the feast."
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
So they carried it. And when the master of the feast had tasted of the water which had been made wine, not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn it knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him.
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!”

13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
There he found in the temple those who were selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting there.
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 plaited a scourge of rushes, and drove all out of the temple - both the sheep and oxen. He began to pour out the coins of the money- changers, and to overturn 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 those who were selling doves. "Take these things away! Make not my Father’s house a house of trade!
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”

18 The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
Then the Jews asked Jesus, "What sign are you going to show us, seeing that you do these things?"
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
"Destroy this temple," answered Jesus, "and in three days I will raise it up."
20 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
The Jews retorted, "This Temple took forty-six years to build, and will you ‘raise it in three days’?"
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But he was speaking about the temple of his body; and when the disciples recalled what he had said,
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.
after he had been raised from the dead, they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, when they beheld the signs which he did;
24 But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
but for his part Jesus was not trusting himself to them, because he knew all men,
25 and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
and did not need any one’s testimony concerning man, for he himself knew what was in man.
