| 1On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. | 1On the third day of that week there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, |
| 2Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. | 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. |
| 3And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” | 3When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother told him, "They don't have any more wine." |
| 4Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” | 4"How does that concern us, dear lady?" Jesus asked her. "My time hasn't come yet." |
| 5His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” | 5His mother told the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." |
| 6Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. | 6Now standing there were six stone water jars used for the Jewish rites of purification, each one holding from two to three measures. |
| 7Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. | 7Jesus told the servants, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them up to the brim. |
| 8And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. | 8Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the man in charge of the banquet." So they did. |
| 9When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. | 9When the man in charge of the banquet tasted the water that had become wine (without knowing where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew), he called for the bridegroom |
| 10And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!” | 10and told him, "Everyone serves the best wine first, and the cheap kind when people are drunk. But you have kept the best wine until now!" |
| 11This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him. | 11Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him. |
| 12After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days. | 12After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum—he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples—and they remained there for a few days. |
| 13Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. | 13The Jewish Passover was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
| 14And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. | 14In the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, as well as moneychangers sitting at their tables. |
| 15When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. | 15After making a whip out of cords, he drove all of them out of the Temple, including the sheep and the cattle. He scattered the coins of the moneychangers and knocked over their tables. |
| 16And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” | 16Then he told those who were selling the doves, "Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!" |
| 17Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.” | 17His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me." |
| 18So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?” | 18Then the Jewish leaders asked him, "What sign can you show us as authority for doing these things?" |
| 19Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” | 19Jesus answered them, "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will rebuild it." |
| 20Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” | 20The Jewish leaders said, "This sanctuary has been under construction for 46 years, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?" |
| 21But He was speaking of the temple of His body. | 21But the sanctuary he was speaking about was his own body. |
| 22Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said. | 22After he had been raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. So they believed the Scripture and the statement that Jesus had made. |
| 23Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. | 23While Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover Festival, many people believed in him because they saw the signs that he was doing. |
| 24But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, | 24Jesus, however, did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people |
| 25and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. | 25and didn't need anyone to tell him what people were like, because he himself knew what was in every person. |
