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

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

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

and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage.

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

And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

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

And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

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

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

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

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

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

Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

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

And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it.

9 A nd 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,

And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom,

10 a nd 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.'

and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now.

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

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

12 a fter this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

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

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

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

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

And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 a nd 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,

and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables;

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

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

17 A nd his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;'

His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up.

18 t he Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us -- that thou dost these things?'

The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

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

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

20 T he Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?'

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

21 b ut he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;

But he spake of the temple of his body.

22 w hen, 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.

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

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

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did.

24 a nd Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all,

But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,

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

and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
