Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.(A) Jesus’ mother(B) was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman,[a](C) why do you involve me?”(D) Jesus replied. “My hour(E) has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”(F)
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing,(G) each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.(H) He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and 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.”
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs(I) through which he revealed his glory;(J) and his disciples believed in him.(K)
12 After this he went down to Capernaum(L) with his mother(M) and brothers(N) and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.
Jesus Clears the Temple Courts(O)
13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,(P) Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(Q) 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves,(R) and others sitting at tables exchanging money.(S) 15 So 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. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house(T) into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”[c](U)
18 The Jews(V) then responded to him, “What sign(W) can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”(X)
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”(Y)
20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.(Z) 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said.(AA) Then they believed the scripture(AB) and the words that Jesus had spoken.
23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(AC) many people saw the signs(AD) he was performing and believed(AE) in his name.[d] 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25 He did not need any testimony about mankind,(AF) for he knew what was in each person.(AG)

The First Sign: Turning Water into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place in Cana(A) of Galilee.(B) Jesus’ mother(C) was there, and 2 Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding as well. 3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ 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[b] 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 20 or 30 gallons.[c]
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 chief servant.”[d] And they did.
9 When the chief servant 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 have drunk freely, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.”
11 Jesus performed this first sign[e] in Cana(G) of Galilee.(H) He displayed(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 Complex
13 The Jewish Passover(M) was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(N) 14 In the temple complex(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 complex 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!”[f](T)
17 And His disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal(U) for Your house will consume(V) Me.(W)[g]
18 So the Jews replied to Him, “What sign of authority will You show us for doing these things?”
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this sanctuary,(X) and I will raise it up in three days.”(Y)
20 Therefore the Jews said, “This sanctuary took 46 years to build, and will You raise it up in three days?”(Z)
21 But He was speaking about the sanctuary 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) at the Passover Festival,(AF) many trusted 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)

2 ¶ De jou apre sa, te gen yon maryaj lavil Kana nan peyi Galile. Manman Jez te la,
2 yo te envite Jezi ak disip li yo nan nòs la tou.
3 Rive yon lè pa t' gen diven ankò. Manman Jezi di l' konsa: Yo pa gen diven ankò non.
4 Men Jezi reponn li: Nan kisa mwen ye avè ou, madanm? Lè pa m' lan poko rive.
5 Lè sa a, manman Jezi di moun ki t'ap sèvi yo: Fè tou sa l' di nou fè.
6 Te gen sis gwo ja fèt an wòch ki te sèvi pou jwif yo lave kò yo dapre koutim yo. Yo te gwo ase pou chak te kenbe vin trant galon konsa.
7 Jezi di moun ki t'ap sèvi yo: Plen ja yo dlo. Yo plen yo ra bouch.
8 Lè yo fini, Jezi di yo: Pran ti gout nan dlo sa a, pote bay chèf kanbiz la goute. Yo pote ti gout bay chèf kanbiz la.
9 Chèf kanbiz la goute dlo ki te tounen diven an. Li pa t' konnen ki bò diven sa a te soti. (Men, domestik yo ki te pran dlo a te konnen.) Li rele nonm ki t'ap marye a,
10 li di li konsa: Tout moun sèvi pi bon diven an anvan. Se apre tout envite yo fin sou, se lè sa a yo sèvi diven ki pa twò bon an. Men ou menm, ou te sere pi bon diven an. Se koulye a w'ap sèvi l'.
11 Se konsa Jezi te fè premye mirak li lavil Kana nan peyi Galile. Li te fè wè pouvwa li. Sa te fè disip li yo kwè nan li.
12 ¶ Apre sa, li ale lavil Kapènawòm ansanm ak manman l', frè l' yo ak disip li yo. Yo pase de twa jou la.
13 Fèt Delivrans jwif yo te vanse rive. Se konsa Jezi moute Jerizalèm.
14 Li jwenn yon bann moun nan tanp lan ki t'ap vann bèf, mouton ak pijon. Gen lòt menm ki te chita dèyè tab yo ap chanje lajan.
15 Li pran kèk kòd, li mare yo ansanm, li fè yon fwèt ak yo. Epi li mete tout moun yo deyò nan tanp lan ansanm ak tout mouton yo ak tout bèf yo. Li chavire tab moun ki t'ap chanje lajan yo, li jete tout kòb yo atè.
16 Li di moun ki t'ap vann pijon yo: Wete sa la. Pa fè kay Papa m' lan tounen yon boutik kote yo fè komès.
17 Disip li yo vin chonje pawòl sa yo ki te ekri nan Liv la: O Bondye, mwen sitèlman renmen kay ou a, mwen santi se tankou yon dife k'ap boule tout anndan mwen.
18 Jwif yo mande li: Ki mirak ou ka fè pou moutre nou ou gen dwa fè sa w'ap fè la a?
19 Jezi reponn yo: Kraze tanp sa a koulye a. Nan twa jou m'ap rebati l' ban nou.
20 Jwif yo di li: Yo pran karannsizan pou yo bati tanp sa a, pou ou menm, pou ou ta pran twa sèl jou pou rebati li?
21 Men Jezi li menm, lè l' t'ap di mo tanp lan se pwòp kò li li te gen nan tèt li.
22 Lè Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò, disip li yo vin chonje li te di sa. Se konsa yo te kwè sa ki te ekri nan Liv la ansanm ak tout pawòl Jezi te di yo.
23 ¶ Pandan Jezi te Jerizalèm pou fèt Delivrans lan anpil moun te kwè nan li lè yo te wè mirak li t'ap fè.
24 Men, Jezi pa t' fè okenn ladan yo konfyans, paske li te konnen yo tout byen.
25 Li pa t' bezwen moun te di l' anyen sou pesonn, paske li menm li te konnen sa ki nan kè yo.
