| 1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, | 1On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; |
| 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. | 2and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. |
| 3When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine." | 3When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine." |
| 4"Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come." | 4And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come." |
| 5His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." | 5His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it." |
| 6Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. | 6Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons each. |
| 7Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. | 7Jesus said to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." So they filled them up to the brim. |
| 8Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, | 8And He said to them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." So they took it to him. |
| 9and 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 | 9When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom, |
| 10and 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." | 10and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now." |
| 11What 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. | 11This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him. |
| 12After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days. | 12After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days. |
| 13When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. | 13The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
| 14In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. | 14And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. |
| 15So 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. | 15And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; |
| 16To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a market!" | 16and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business." |
| 17His disciples remembered that it is written: "Zeal for your house will consume me." | 17His disciples remembered that it was written, "ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME." |
| 18The Jews then responded to him, "What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?" | 18The Jews then said to Him, "What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?" |
| 19Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." | 19Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." |
| 20They replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?" | 20The Jews then said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" |
| 21But the temple he had spoken of was his body. | 21But He was speaking of the temple of His body. |
| 22After 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. | 22So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken. |
| 23Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name. | 23Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. |
| 24But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. | 24But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men, |
| 25He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person. | 25and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man. |
