1And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
2And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.
2and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine.
3When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
4And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.
4“Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.
5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
6Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.
6Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.
7Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
7Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.
8“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
9And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,
9and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
10And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.
10and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”
11This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
11Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.
12After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
13And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
13When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
14In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
15And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
15So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
16To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
17And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
17His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
18The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
18On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
19Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
19Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
20The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
20“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
21But he spoke of the temple of his body.
21But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.
22When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.
22After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
23Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.
23While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.
24But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,
24But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.
25And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.
25He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
