1On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in 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 was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."

4Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.”

4"Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come."

5His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

5His mother said to 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.

6Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

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

7Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them 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 master of the banquet." They did so,

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.

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

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 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."

11This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

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.

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 he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.

13Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

13When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, 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 courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.

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.

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.

16And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”

16To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a market!"

17Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.”

17His disciples remembered that it is 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?”

18The Jews then responded to him, "What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?"

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

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

20Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

20They replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?"

21But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

21But the temple he had spoken of was his 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 was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

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.

23Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.

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

24But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.

25and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.

25He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.
