1 ¶ And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

2 a nd Jesus and his disciples were also called to the marriage.

Jesus also was invited with His disciples to the wedding.

3 A nd being short of wine, the mother of Jesus said unto him, They have no wine.

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

4 J esus said unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? My hour is not yet come.

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

5 H is mother said unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do it.

6 A nd there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

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

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

Jesus said to them, Fill the waterpots with water. So they filled them up to the brim.

8 A nd he said unto them, Draw out now and bear unto the butler. And they bore it.

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

9 W hen the butler had tasted the water that was made wine and knew not where it was from (but the servants who drew the water knew), the butler called the bridegroom

And 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

10 a nd said unto him, Every man at the beginning sets forth the good wine, and when they are well satisfied, then that which is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

And 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!

11 T his beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and manifested forth his glory, and his disciples believed on him.

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

12 ¶ After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples, and they continued there not many days.

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

13 A nd passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem

Now the Passover of the Jews was approaching, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 a nd found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated;

There He found in the temple '> enclosure] those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there.

15 a nd when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overthrew the tables

And 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).

16 a nd said unto those that sold the doves, Take these things away from here; do not make my Father’s house a house of merchandise.

Then 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)!

17 T hen his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house has consumed me.

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

18 T hen the Jews answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

Then the Jews retorted, What sign can You show us, seeing You do these things?

19 J esus answered and said unto them, Dissolve this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

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

20 T hen said the Jews, This temple was forty-six years in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

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

21 B ut he spoke of the temple of his body.

But He had spoken of the temple which was His body.

22 T herefore when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

When 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.

23 ¶ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, seeing the signs which he did.

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

24 B ut Jesus did not trust himself unto them because he knew all men

But Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all;

25 a nd needed not that any man should give testimony, for he knew what was in man.

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