John 2

The Darby Translation DBY

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

2 And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.

3 And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come.

5 His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do.

6 Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each.

7 Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8 And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry [it] to the feast-master. And they carried [it].

9 But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,

10 and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when [men] have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now.

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

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

13 And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting;

15 and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast [them] all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,

16 and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

17 [And] his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.

18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

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

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

21 But *he* spoke of the temple of his body.

22 When therefore he was raised from among [the] dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

23 And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought.

24 But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all [men],

25 and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Three days later a wedding took place in the city of Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there.

2 Jesus and his disciples had been invited too.

3 When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They're out of wine."

4 Jesus said to her, "Why did you come to me? My time has not yet come."

5 His mother told the servers, "Do whatever he tells you."

6 Six stone water jars were there. They were used for Jewish purification rituals. Each jar held 18 to 27 gallons.

7 Jesus told the servers, "Fill the jars with water." The servers filled the jars to the brim.

8 Jesus said to them, "Pour some, and take it to the person in charge." The servers did as they were told.

9 The person in charge tasted the water that had become wine. He didn't know where it had come from, although the servers who had poured the water knew. The person in charge called the groom

10 and said to him, "Everyone serves the best wine first. When people are drunk, the host serves cheap wine. But you have saved the best wine for now."

11 Cana in Galilee was the place where Jesus began to perform miracles. He made his glory public there, and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this, Jesus, his mother, brothers, and disciples went to the city of Capernaum and stayed there for a few days.

13 The Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went to Jerusalem.

14 He found those who were selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons in the temple courtyard. He also found moneychangers sitting there.

15 He made a whip from small ropes and threw everyone with their sheep and cattle out of the temple courtyard. He dumped the moneychangers' coins and knocked over their tables.

16 He told those who sold pigeons, "Pick up this stuff, and get it out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!"

17 His disciples remembered that Scripture said, "Devotion for your house will consume me."

18 The Jews reacted by asking Jesus, "What miracle can you show us to justify what you're doing?"

19 Jesus replied, "Tear down this temple, and I'll rebuild it in three days."

20 The Jews said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple. Do you really think you're going to rebuild it in three days?"

21 But the temple Jesus spoke about was his own body.

22 After he came back to life, his disciples remembered that he had said this. So they believed the Scripture and this statement that Jesus had made.

23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover festival, many people believed in him because they saw the miracles that he performed.

24 Jesus, however, was wary of these believers. He understood people

25 and didn't need anyone to tell him about human nature. He knew what people were really like.
