|
|
3. At the wedding there was not enough wine, so Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."
|
3. And G2532 when they wanted G5302 wine G3631 , the G3588 mother G3384 of Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto G4314 him G846 , They have G2192 no G3756 wine G3631 .
|
|
4. Jesus answered, "Dear woman, why are you telling me this? It is not yet time for me to begin my work."
|
4. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto her G846 , Woman G1135 , what have I to do with thee G5101 G1698 G2532 G4671 ? mine G3450 hour G5610 is not yet G3768 come G2240 .
|
|
5. His mother said to the servants, "Do what he tells you."
|
5. His G846 mother G3384 saith G3004 unto the G3588 servants G1249 , Whatsoever G3748 G302 he saith G3004 unto you G5213 , do G4160 it.
|
|
6. There were six large stone waterpots there that were used by the Jews in their washing ceremonies. Each one held about 20 or 30 gallons.
|
6. And G1161 there were G2258 set G2749 there G1563 six G1803 waterpots G5201 of stone G3035 , after G2596 the G3588 manner of the purifying G2512 of the G3588 Jews G2453 , containing G5562 two G1417 or G2228 three G5140 firkins G3355 apiece G303 .
|
|
7. Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the waterpots with water." So they filled them to the top.
|
7. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto them G846 , Fill G1072 the G3588 waterpots G5201 with water G5204 . And G2532 they filled G1072 them G846 up to G2193 the brim G507 .
|
|
8. Then he said to them, "Now dip out some water and take it to the man in charge of the feast." So they did what he said.
|
8. And G2532 he saith G3004 unto them G846 , Draw out G501 now G3568 , and G2532 bear G5342 unto the G3588 governor of the feast G755 . And G2532 they bare G5342 it.
|
|
9. Then the man in charge tasted it, but the water had become wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants who brought the water knew. He called the bridegroom
|
9. G1161 When G5613 the G3588 ruler of the feast G755 had tasted G1089 the G3588 water G5204 that was made G1096 wine G3631 , and G2532 knew G1492 not G3756 whence G4159 it was G2076 : ( but G1161 the G3588 servants G1249 which drew G501 the G3588 water G5204 knew G1492 ;) the G3588 governor of the feast G755 called G5455 the G3588 bridegroom G3566 ,
|
|
10. and said to him, "People always serve the best wine first. Later, when the guests are drunk, they serve the cheaper wine. But you have saved the best wine until now."
|
10. And G2532 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Every G3956 man G444 at the beginning G4412 doth set forth G5087 good G2570 wine G3631 ; and G2532 when G3752 men have well drunk G3184 , then G5119 that which is worse G1640 : but thou G4771 hast kept G5083 the G3588 good G2570 wine G3631 until G2193 now G737 .
|
|
11. This was the first of all the miraculous signs Jesus did. He did it in the town of Cana in Galilee. By this he showed his divine greatness, and his followers believed in him.
|
11. This G5026 beginning G746 of miracles G4592 did G4160 Jesus G2424 in G1722 Cana G2580 of Galilee G1056 , and G2532 manifested forth G5319 his G848 glory G1391 ; and G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 believed G4100 on G1519 him G846 .
|
|
12. Then Jesus went to the town of Capernaum. His mother and brothers and his followers went with him. They all stayed there a few days.
|
12. After G3326 this G5124 he went down G2597 to G1519 Capernaum G2584 , he G846 , and G2532 his G846 mother G3384 , and G2532 his G846 brethren G80 , and G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 : and G2532 they continued G3306 there G1563 not G3756 many G4183 days G2250 .
|
|
13. It was almost time for the Jewish Passover, so Jesus went to Jerusalem.
|
13. And G2532 the G3588 Jews G2453 ' passover G3957 was G2258 at hand G1451 , and G2532 Jesus G2424 went up G305 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 ,
|
|
14. There in the Temple area he saw men selling cattle, sheep, and doves. He saw others sitting at tables, exchanging and trading people's money.
|
14. And G2532 found G2147 in G1722 the G3588 temple G2411 those that sold G4453 oxen G1016 and G2532 sheep G4263 and G2532 doves G4058 , and G2532 the G3588 changers of money G2773 sitting G2521 :
|
|
15. Jesus made a whip with some pieces of rope. Then he forced all these men and the sheep and cattle to leave the Temple area. He turned over the tables of the money traders and scattered their money.
|
15. And G2532 when he had made G4160 a scourge G5416 of G1537 small cords G4979 , he drove G1544 them all G3956 out of G1537 the G3588 temple G2411 , and G5037 the G3588 sheep G4263 , and G2532 the G3588 oxen G1016 ; and G2532 poured out G1632 the G3588 changers G2855 ' money G2772 , and G2532 overthrew G390 the G3588 tables G5132 ;
|
|
16. Then he said to those who were selling pigeons, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a place for buying and selling!"
|
16. And G2532 said G2036 unto them that sold G4453 doves G4058 , Take G142 these things G5023 hence G1782 ; make G4160 not G3361 my G3450 Father G3962 's house G3624 a house G3624 of merchandise G1712 .
|
|
17. When this happened, his followers remembered what was written in the Scriptures: "My strong devotion to your Temple will destroy me."
|
17. And G1161 his G846 disciples G3101 remembered G3415 that G3754 it was G2076 written G1125 , The G3588 zeal G2205 of thine G4675 house G3624 hath eaten me up G2719 G3165 .
|
|
18. Some Jews said to Jesus, "Show us a miracle as a sign from God. Prove that you have the right to do these things."
|
18. Then G3767 answered G611 the G3588 Jews G2453 and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , What G5101 sign G4592 showest G1166 thou unto us G2254 , seeing that G3754 thou doest G4160 these things G5023 ?
|
|
19. Jesus answered, "Destroy this temple and I will build it again in three days."
|
19. Jesus G2424 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto them G846 , Destroy G3089 this G5126 temple G3485 , and G2532 in G1722 three G5140 days G2250 I will raise it up G1453 G846 .
|
|
20. They answered, "People worked 46 years to build this Temple! Do you really believe you can build it again in three days?"
|
20. Then G3767 said G2036 the G3588 Jews G2453 , Forty and six G5062 G2532 G1803 years G2094 was this temple in building G3618 G3778 G3485 , and G2532 wilt thou G4771 rear it up G1453 G846 in G1722 three G5140 days G2250 ?
|
|
21. But the temple Jesus meant was his own body.
|
21. But G1161 he G1565 spake G3004 of G4012 the G3588 temple G3485 of his G848 body G4983 .
|
|
22. After he was raised from death, his followers remembered that he had said this. So they believed the Scriptures, and they believed the words Jesus said.
|
22. When G3753 therefore G3767 he was risen G1453 from G1537 the dead G3498 , his G846 disciples G3101 remembered G3415 that G3754 he had said G3004 this G5124 unto them G846 ; and G2532 they believed G4100 the G3588 Scripture G1124 , and G2532 the G3588 word G3056 which G3739 Jesus G2424 had said G2036 .
|
|
23. Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover festival. Many people believed in him because they saw the miraculous signs he did.
|
23. Now G1161 when G5613 he was G2258 in G1722 Jerusalem G2414 at G1722 the G3588 passover G3957 , in G1722 the G3588 feast G1859 day, many G4183 believed G4100 in G1519 his G846 name G3686 , when they saw G2334 the G3588 miracles G4592 which G3739 he did G4160 .
|
|
24. But Jesus did not trust them, because he knew how all people think.
|
24. But G1161 Jesus G2424 did not G3756 commit G4100 himself G1438 unto them G846 , because he G846 knew G1097 all G3956 men,
|
|
25. He did not need anyone to tell him what a person was like. He already knew.
|
25. And G2532 G3754 needed G2192 G5532 not G3756 that G2443 any G5100 should testify G3140 of G4012 man G444 : for G1063 he G846 knew G1097 what G5101 was G2258 in G1722 man G444 .
