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

2 A nd both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

Jesus also was invited with His disciples to the wedding.

3 A nd when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith 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 saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine 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 saith 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 saith 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 saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare 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 ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast 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 saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, 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 miracles did Jesus 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 A fter 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 the Jews' passover 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 changers of money sitting:

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 them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an 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 A nd his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

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

18 T hen answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest 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, Destroy 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, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear 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 spake of the temple of his body.

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

22 W hen therefore 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 N ow when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles 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 commit 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 should testify of man: 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.
