KJ3 Literal Translation
John 2
1 Christ turns water to wine, 12 departs to Capernaum, and to Jerusalem. 19 He foretells his death and resurrection.
1And the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2And Jesus and His disciples also were invited to the marriage.
3And they lacking wine, the mother of Jesus says to Him, They have no wine.
4Jesus says to her, What is that to Me and to you, woman? My hour has not yet come.
5His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do.
6And there were six waterpots of stone lying, according to the purification of the Jews, each containing two or three measures.
7Jesus said to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them to the top.
8And He says to them, Now draw out and carry to the master of the feast. And they carried it.
9But when the master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know from where it was (but the servants drawing the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom,
10and he says to him, Every man first sets on the good wine, and when they have drunk freely, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now.
11This beginning of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and revealed His glory, and His disciples believed into Him.
12After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples. And He remained there not many days.
13And the Passover of the Jews was near. And Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14And He found those selling oxen and sheep and doves in the temple, and the money changers sitting.
15And having made a whip out of ropes, He threw all out of the temple, both the sheep, and the oxen, and the money changers, poured out the coin and overturned the tables.
16And to the ones selling the doves, He said, Take these things from here! Not do make My Father’s house a market-house.
17And His disciples remembered that it was written, “The zeal of Your house has consumed Me.” Psa. 69:9
18Then the Jews answered and said to Him, What sign do You show to us, since these things You do?
19Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20Then the Jews said, This temple was forty-six years being built, and do You raise it up in three days?
21But He spoke about the temple of His body.
22Then when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this to them. And they believed the Scripture, even the Word that Jesus said.
23And as He was in Jerusalem, at the Passover, at the Feast, many believed into His name, seeing the signs which He did.
24But Jesus Himself did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all,
25and because He had no need that anyone should witness concerning man, for He knew what was in man.
