John 2

1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

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

2 and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4 “Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

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

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

6 Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

7 Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

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

8 “Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside

9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set 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 performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12 After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

13 When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

14 In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;

16 To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.

17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

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

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

20 “This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

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

21 But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

22 After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

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 While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

24 But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

25 He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.

25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
