John 2 (WEBP)

[1] The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
[2] Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
[3] When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
[4] Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
[5] His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
[6] Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
[7] Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
[8] He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
[9] When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom
[10] and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!”
[11] This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
[12] After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
[13] The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
[14] He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
[15] He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables.
[16] To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
[17] His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
[18] The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
[19] Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
[20] The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
[21] But he spoke of the temple of his body.
[22] When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
[23] Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
[24] But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
[25] and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

Young’s Literal Translation

John 2 (YLT)

[1] And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,
[2] and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;
[3] and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, ‘Wine they have not;’
[4] Jesus saith to her, ‘What-to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.’
[5] His mother saith to the ministrants, ‘Whatever he may say to you-do.’
[6] And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.
[7] Jesus saith to them, ‘Fill the water-jugs with water;’ and they filled them-unto the brim;
[8] and he saith to them, ‘Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;’ and they bare.
[9] And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,
[10] and saith to him, ‘Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.’
[11] This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested 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 there they remained not many days.
[13] And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
[14] and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,
[15] and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,
[16] and to those selling the doves he said, ‘Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.’
[17] And his disciples remembered that it is written, ‘The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;’
[18] the Jews then answered and said to him, ‘What sign dost thou shew to us-that thou dost these things?’
[19] Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.’
[20] The Jews, therefore, said, ‘Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?’
[21] but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;
[22] when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.
[23] And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;
[24] and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all men,
[25] and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.
