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

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

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

and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;

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

and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, `Wine they have not;'

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

Jesus saith to her, `What -- to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.'

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

His mother saith to the ministrants, `Whatever he may say to you -- do.'

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.

And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.

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

Jesus saith to them, `Fill the water-jugs with water;' and they filled them -- unto the brim;

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

and he saith to them, `Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;' and they bare.

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 as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call 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 saith to him, `Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till 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 beginning of the signs did Jesus 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 this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

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

And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and 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;

and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,

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 whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

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.

and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.'

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, `The zeal of Thy house did 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?

the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us -- that thou dost these things?'

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

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

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

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

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

but he spake concerning the sanctuary of 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, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

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.

And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;

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

and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all,

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

and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.
