John 2

Third Millennium Bible TMB

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

2 and both Jesus and His disciples were called to the marriage.

3 And when they lacked wine, the mother of Jesus said unto Him, "They have no wine."

4 Jesus said unto her, "Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come."

5 His mother said unto the servants, "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it."

6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, holding twenty to thirty gallons apiece.

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

8 And He said unto them, "Draw some out now, and bear it unto the governor of the feast." And they took it.

9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, not knowing from whence it had come (but the servants who drew the water knew), the governor of the feast called the bridegroom

10 and said unto him, "Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine, and when men have drunk well, then that which is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine until now."

11 This beginning of miracles Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth 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 a few days.

13 And the Jews' Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem

14 and found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and also the changers of money, sitting there.

15 And when He had made a scourge of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overthrew the tables.

16 And He said unto those who sold doves, "Take these things hence! Make not My Father's house a house of merchandise!"

17 And His disciples remembered that it was written: "The zeal of Thine house hath eaten me up."

18 Then the Jews answered and said unto Him, "What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?"

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

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

21 But He spoke of the temple of His body.

22 When 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.

23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover on the feast day, many believed in His name when they saw the miracles which He did.

24 But Jesus did not commit Himself unto them, because He knew all men,

25 and needed not that any should testify of man, for He 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.
