1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,
1
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
2 and Jesus and his disciples were also called to the marriage.
2
and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3 And being short of wine, the mother of Jesus said unto him, They have no wine.
3
When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 Jesus said unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? My hour is not yet come.
4
“Woman,why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do <em>it</em>.
5
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
6
Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus said unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
7
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 And he said unto them, Draw out now and bear unto the butler. And they bore <em>it</em>.
8
Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”They did so,
9 When the butler had tasted the water that was made wine and knew not where it was <em>from</em> (but the servants who drew the water knew), the butler called the bridegroom
9
and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
10 and said unto him, Every man at the beginning sets forth the good wine, and when they are well satisfied, then that which is worse; <em>but</em> thou hast kept the good wine until now.
10
and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 This beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and manifested forth his glory, and his disciples believed on him.
11
What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed 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.
12
After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.
13 And passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem
13
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated;
14
In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
15 and 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
15
So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16 and said unto those that sold the doves, Take these things away from here; do not make my Father’s house a house of merchandise.
16
To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”
17 Then his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house has consumed me.
17
His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
18 Then the Jews answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
18
The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Dissolve this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
19
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
20 Then said the Jews, This temple was forty-six years in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
20
They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
21
But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
22 Therefore 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.
22
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast <em>day</em>, many believed in his name, seeing the signs which he did.
23
Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself unto them because he knew all <em>men</em>
24
But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.
25 and needed not that any man should give testimony, for he knew what was in man.
25
He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.
