1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.1 And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.2 And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."3 And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine.
4 (And) Jesus said to her, "Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come."4 And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.
5 His mother said to the servers, "Do whatever he tells you."5 His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.
6 Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.
7 Jesus told them, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them to the brim.7 Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 Then he told them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." So they took it.8 And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.
9 And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom9 And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,
10 and said to him, "Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now."10 And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this, he and his mother, (his) brothers, and his disciples went down to Capernaum and stayed there only a few days.12 After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.
13 Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.13 And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money-changers seated there.14 And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
15 He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables,15 And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
16 and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace."16 And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
17 His disciples recalled the words of scripture, "Zeal for your house will consume me."17 And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
18 At this the Jews answered and said to him, "What sign can you show us for doing this?"18 The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
19 Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up."19 Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 The Jews said, "This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?"20 The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body.21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they came to believe the scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.22 When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.
23 While he was in Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, many began to believe in his name when they saw the signs he was doing.23 Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.
24 But Jesus would not trust himself to them because he knew them all,24 But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,
25 and did not need anyone to testify about human nature. He himself understood it well.25 And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.
