And on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

2 J esus also was invited with His disciples to the wedding.

And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.

3 A nd when the wine was all gone, the mother of Jesus said to Him, They have no more wine!

And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.

4 J esus said to her, '> Dear] woman, what is that to you and to Me? My time (hour to act) has not yet come.

6 N ow there were six waterpots of stone standing there, as the Jewish custom of purification (ceremonial washing) demanded, holding twenty to thirty gallons apiece.

Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each.

7 J esus said to them, Fill the waterpots with water. So they filled them up to the brim.

Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8 T hen He said to them, Draw some out now and take it to the manager of the feast. So they took him some.

And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry to the feast-master. And they carried.

9 A nd when the manager tasted the water just now turned into wine, not knowing where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—he called the bridegroom

But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,

10 A nd said to him, Everyone else serves his best wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then he serves that which is not so good; but you have kept back the good wine until now!

and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now.

11 T his, the first of His signs (miracles, wonderworks), Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12 A fter that He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.

After this he descended to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.

13 N ow the Passover of the Jews was approaching, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 T here He found in the temple '> enclosure] those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there.

And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting;

15 A nd having made a lash (a whip) of cords, He drove them all out of the temple '> enclosure]—both the sheep and the oxen—spilling and scattering the brokers’ money and upsetting and tossing around their trays (their stands).

and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,

16 T hen to those who sold the doves He said, Take these things away (out of here)! Make not My Father’s house a house of merchandise (a marketplace, a sales shop)!

and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

17 A nd His disciples remembered that it is written, Zeal (the fervor of love) for Your house will eat Me up.

his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.

18 T hen the Jews retorted, What sign can You show us, seeing You do these things?

The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

19 J esus answered them, Destroy (undo) this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.

Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 T hen the Jews replied, It took forty-six years to build this temple (sanctuary), and will You raise it up in three days?

The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days?

21 B ut He had spoken of the temple which was His body.

But he spoke of the temple of his body.

22 W hen therefore He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this. And so they believed and trusted and relied on the Scripture and the word (message) Jesus had spoken.

When therefore he was raised from among dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

23 B ut when He was in Jerusalem during the Passover Feast, many believed in His name after seeing His signs (wonders, miracles) which He was doing.

And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought.

24 B ut Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all;

But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all,

25 A nd He did not need anyone to bear witness concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in human nature.
