La boda de Caná
2 Al tercer día(A) se celebró una boda en Caná de Galilea(B), y estaba allí la madre de Jesús(C); 2 y también Jesús fue invitado, con[a] sus discípulos(D), a la boda. 3 Cuando se acabó el vino, la madre de Jesús le dijo*: No tienen vino. 4 Y Jesús le dijo*: Mujer(E), ¿qué nos va a ti y a mí en esto(F)? Todavía no ha llegado mi hora(G). 5 Su madre(H) dijo* a los que servían: Haced todo lo que Él os diga. 6 Y había allí seis tinajas de piedra, puestas para ser usadas en el rito de la purificación de los judíos(I); en cada una cabían dos o tres cántaros[b]. 7 Jesús les dijo*: Llenad de agua las tinajas. Y las llenaron hasta el borde. 8 Entonces les dijo*: Sacad ahora un poco y llevadlo al maestresala[c]. Y se lo llevaron. 9 Cuando el maestresala probó el agua convertida en vino(J), y como no sabía de dónde era (pero los que servían, que habían sacado el agua, lo sabían), el maestresala llamó* al novio, 10 y le dijo*: Todo hombre sirve primero el vino bueno, y cuando ya han tomado bastante(K), entonces el inferior; pero tú has guardado hasta ahora el vino bueno. 11 Este principio de sus señales[d](L) hizo Jesús en Caná de Galilea(M), y manifestó su gloria(N), y sus discípulos creyeron en Él.
12 Después de esto bajó a Capernaúm(O), Él, con su madre, sus hermanos(P) y sus discípulos(Q); pero allí no se quedaron muchos días.
Jesús echa a los mercaderes del templo
13 La Pascua de los judíos estaba cerca(R), y Jesús subió a Jerusalén(S), 14 (T)y encontró en el templo a los que vendían bueyes, ovejas y palomas, y a los que cambiaban dinero allí sentados. 15 Y haciendo un azote de cuerdas, echó a todos fuera del templo, con las ovejas y los bueyes; desparramó las monedas de los cambistas y volcó las mesas; 16 y dijo a los que vendían palomas(U): Quitad esto de aquí; no hagáis de la casa de mi Padre(V) una casa de comercio. 17 Sus discípulos(W) se acordaron de que estaba escrito: El celo por tu casa me consumirá(X). 18 Entonces los judíos(Y) respondieron y le dijeron: Ya que haces estas cosas, ¿qué señal(Z) nos muestras? 19 Jesús respondió y les dijo: Destruid este templo[e], y en tres días lo levantaré(AA). 20 Entonces los judíos(AB) dijeron: En cuarenta y seis años fue edificado este templo[f](AC), ¿y tú lo levantarás en tres días? 21 Pero Él hablaba del templo[g] de su cuerpo(AD). 22 Por eso, cuando resucitó de los muertos, sus discípulos(AE) se acordaron(AF) de que había dicho esto; y creyeron en la Escritura(AG) y en la palabra que Jesús había hablado.
Los primeros creyentes en Jerusalén
23 Cuando estaba en Jerusalén durante la fiesta de la Pascua(AH), muchos creyeron en su nombre al ver las señales(AI) que hacía. 24 Pero Jesús, por su parte, no se confiaba a ellos, porque conocía a todos(AJ), 25 y[h] no tenía necesidad de que nadie le diera testimonio del hombre, pues Él sabía lo que había en el hombre(AK).

The Wedding at Cana
2 ·Two days later [L On the third day] there was a wedding in the town of Cana in Galilee [C of uncertain location, probably near Nazareth]. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his ·followers [disciples] were also invited to the wedding. 3 When all the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 Jesus answered, “·Dear woman [L Woman; C a respectful form of address in that culture], ·why come to me [what concern is that to me and to you; L what to me and to you]? My ·time [L hour; C here and throughout John, Jesus’ “hour” refers to his messianic sacrifice on the cross] has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you to do.”
6 In that place there were six stone water jars that the Jews used in their washing ceremony [C a Jewish ritual before eating, before worshiping in the Temple, and at other special times]. Each jar held about twenty or thirty gallons [C Greek: two or three metretai; each about nine gallons or forty liters].
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled the jars to the ·top [brim].
8 Then he said to them, “Now take some out and give it to the ·master of the feast [chief steward; headwaiter].”
So they took the water to the master. 9 When he tasted it, the water had become wine. He did not know where the wine came from, but the servants who had brought the water knew. The ·master of the wedding [chief steward; headwaiter] called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “People always serve the ·best [expensive] wine first. Later, after the guests have been drinking awhile [C and are less discriminating], they serve the ·cheaper [inferior] wine. But you have saved the ·best [expensive] wine till now.”
11 So in Cana of Galilee [see 2:1] Jesus did his first ·miracle [L sign; C Jesus’ miracles are called semeia, “signs,” in John’s Gospel]. There he ·showed [revealed; manifested] his ·glory [majesty], and his ·followers [disciples] believed in him.
Jesus in the Temple(A)
12 After this, Jesus went to the town of Capernaum [C a town on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee] with his mother, brothers, and ·followers [disciples]. They stayed there for just a few days. 13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover Feast [C annual festival that celebrates God’s rescue of Israel from Egypt; Ex. 12], Jesus ·went [L went up] to Jerusalem. 14 In the Temple [area; C not in the Temple proper, but in the outer courtyard, the Court of the Gentiles] he found people selling cattle, sheep, and ·doves [or pigeons; C for sacrifices in the Temple]. ·He saw others sitting at tables, exchanging different kinds of money [L …and moneychangers sitting; C the annual temple tax (Ex. 30:11–16) had to be paid in Tyrian shekels, because of their high quality silver]. 15 Jesus made a whip out of cords and forced all of them, ·both [with] the sheep and cattle, to leave the Temple. He turned over the tables and scattered the money of ·those who were exchanging it [L the moneychangers]. 16 Then he said to those who were selling ·doves [or pigeons], “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house [C the Temple was God’s home on earth; 1 Kin. 8] a ·place for buying and selling [L a house of market/trade]!”
17 When this happened, the ·followers [disciples] remembered what was written [C in the Scriptures]: ·“My strong love for your Temple completely controls me [L “Zeal for your house will consume me”; Ps. 69:9].”
18 Some of ·his people [L the Jews] ·said to [responded to; demanded of] Jesus, “Show us a ·miracle [L sign] to ·prove you have the right to do these things [justify your actions].”
19 Jesus ·answered [replied to] them, “Destroy this temple, and I will ·build [L raise] it again in three days [C an allusion to his resurrection; 2:22; Matt. 26:61; 27:40].”
20 ·They [The Jewish leaders; L The Jews] answered, “It took forty-six years [C Herod the Great began a reconstruction and expansion of the Temple complex in 20 bc, thus dating this statement to about ad 27] to ·build [reconstruct] this Temple! Do you really believe you can ·build [raise] it again in three days?”
21 (But the temple Jesus meant was his own body [C Jesus was claiming divinity, his body corresponding with the Temple, the home/dwelling place of God; 1:14]. 22 After Jesus was raised from the dead, his ·followers [disciples] remembered that Jesus had said this. Then they believed the Scripture [compare Ps. 16:10] and the words Jesus had said.)
23 When Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover Feast [see 2:13], many people ·believed [put their faith; trusted] in ·him [L his name] because they saw the ·miracles [L signs; 2:11] he did [4:48; Mark 8:11–13]. 24 But Jesus did not ·believe in [entrust/commit himself to] them because he knew them all. 25 He did not need anyone to ·tell [testify/witness to] him about ·people [human nature], because he knew what was in ·people’s minds [people’s hearts; L people].

Water Turned to Wine
2 On the third day there was a (A)wedding in (B)Cana of Galilee, and the (C)mother of Jesus was there. 2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesus said to her, (D)“Woman, (E)what does your concern have to do with Me? (F)My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, (G)according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. 9 When the master of the feast had tasted (H)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. 10 And 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!”
11 This (I)beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, (J)and [a]manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.
12 After this He went down to (K)Capernaum, He, His mother, (L)His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple(M)
13 (N)Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 (O)And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers [b]doing business. 15 When 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. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make (P)My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” 17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, (Q)“Zeal for Your house [c]has eaten Me up.”
18 So the Jews answered and said to Him, (R)“What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, (S)“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21 But He was speaking (T)of the temple of His body. 22 Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, (U)His disciples remembered that He had said this [d]to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
The Discerner of Hearts
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the (V)signs which He did. 24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He (W)knew all men, 25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for (X)He knew what was in man.
