The First Sign: Turning Water into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place in Cana(A) of Galilee.(B) Jesus’s mother(C) was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding as well. 3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’s mother told him, “They don’t have any wine.”
4 “What has this concern of yours to do with me,[a](D) woman?”(E) Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 “Do whatever he tells you,” his mother told the servants.
6 Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification.(F) Each contained twenty or thirty gallons.[b]
7 “Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the headwaiter.”[c] And they did.
9 When the headwaiter tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom 10 and told him, “Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people are drunk, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.”
11 Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana(G) of Galilee.(H) He revealed(I) his glory,(J) and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this, he went down to Capernaum,(K) together with his mother, his brothers,(L) and his disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.
Cleansing the Temple
13 The Jewish Passover(M) was near, and so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(N) 14 In the temple(O) he found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and he also found the money changers sitting there. 15 After making a whip out of cords,(P) he drove everyone out of the temple with their sheep(Q) and oxen. He also poured out the money changers’ coins and overturned the tables. 16 He told those who were selling doves, “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s(R) house(S) into a marketplace!”[d](T)
17 And his disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal(U) for your house will consume(V) me.[e](W)
18 So the Jews replied to him, “What sign will you show us for doing these things?”
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple,[f](X) and I will raise it up in three days.”(Y)
20 Therefore the Jews said, “This temple took forty-six years to build,[g] and will you raise it up in three days?” (Z)
21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body.(AA) 22 So when he was raised from the dead,(AB) his disciples remembered that he had said this,(AC) and they believed the Scripture(AD) and the statement Jesus had made.
23 While he was in Jerusalem(AE) during the Passover Festival,(AF) many believed in his name(AG) when they saw the signs he was doing. 24 Jesus, however, would not entrust himself to them, since he knew them all 25 and because he did not need anyone to testify about man; for he himself knew what was in man.(AH)
John 2
21st Century King James Version
2 And on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
2 and both Jesus and His disciples were called to the marriage.
3 And when they lacked wine, the mother of Jesus said unto Him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesus said unto her, “Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come.”
5 His mother said unto the servants, “Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.”
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, holding twenty to thirty gallons apiece.
7 Jesus said unto them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And He said unto them, “Draw some out now, and bear it unto the governor of the feast.” And they took it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, not knowing from whence it had come (but the servants who drew the water knew), the governor of the feast called the bridegroom
10 and said unto him, “Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine, and when men have drunk well, then that which is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine until now.”
11 This beginning of miracles Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.
12 After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brethren and His disciples; and they continued there a few days.
13 And the Jews’ Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem
14 and found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and also the changers of money, sitting there.
15 And when He had made a scourge of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overthrew the tables.
16 And He said unto those who sold doves, “Take these things hence! Make not My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”
17 And His disciples remembered that it was written: “The zeal of Thine house hath eaten me up.”
18 Then the Jews answered and said unto Him, “What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Then said the Jews, “Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?”
21 But He spoke of the temple of His body.
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 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover on the feast day, many believed in His name when they saw the miracles which He did.
24 But Jesus did not commit Himself unto them, because He knew all men,
25 and needed not that any should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.
