Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.
And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
And Jesus says to her, Woman, what is that to me and to you? My hour has not yet come.
His mother says to the servants, Whatever he tells you, do it.
ἦσαν δὲ ἐκεῖ λίθιναι ὑδρίαι ἓξ κατὰ τὸν καθαρισμὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων κείμεναι, χωροῦσαι ἀνὰ μετρητὰς δύο ἢ τρεῖς.
Now there were six stone water jars there according to the purification of the Jews, each holding two or three measures.
Jesus said to them, Fill the jars with water, and they filled them up to the brim.
And he said to them, Draw now and bring to the master of the feast; and they brought.
ὡς δὲ ἐγεύσατο ὁ ἀρχιτρίκλινος τὸ ὕδωρ οἶνον γεγενημένον, καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει πόθεν ἐστίν, οἱ δὲ διάκονοι ᾔδεισαν οἱ ἠντληκότες τὸ ὕδωρ, φωνεῖ τὸν νυμφίον ὁ ἀρχιτρίκλινος
When the chief steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew, the chief steward called the bridegroom.
καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Πᾶς ἄνθρωπος πρῶτον τὸν καλὸν οἶνον τίθησιν, καὶ ὅταν μεθυσθῶσιν τὸν ἐλάσσω· σὺ τετήρηκας τὸν καλὸν οἶνον ἕως ἄρτι.
And he says to him, Every man first puts the good wine, and when they have drunk freely, then the inferior; but you have kept the good wine until now.
ταύτην ἐποίησεν ἀρχὴν τῶν σημείων ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν Κανὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐφανέρωσεν τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
This beginning of the signs Jesus performed was at Cana of Galilee, and he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
Μετὰ τοῦτο κατέβη εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἔμειναν οὐ πολλὰς ἡμέρας.
After this, he went down to Capernaum with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for not many days.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
καὶ εὗρεν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ τοὺς πωλοῦντας βόας καὶ πρόβατα καὶ περιστερὰς καὶ τοὺς κερματιστὰς καθημένους,
And he found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting,
καὶ ποιήσας φραγέλλιον ἐκ σχοινίων πάντας ἐξέβαλεν ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ τά τε πρόβατα καὶ τοὺς βόας, καὶ τῶν κολλυβιστῶν ἐξέχεεν τὰ κέρματα καὶ τὰς τραπέζας ἀνέστρεψεν,
And having made a whip of cords, he drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned the tables.
καὶ τοῖς τὰς περιστερὰς πωλοῦσιν εἶπεν· Ἄρατε ταῦτα ἐντεῦθεν, μὴ ποιεῖτε τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου οἶκον ἐμπορίου.
And to those selling the doves he said, Take these away from here; do not make the house of my Father a house of trade.
His disciples remembered that it is written: The zeal for your house will consume me.
The Jews therefore answered him and said, What sign do you show us, since you do these things?
Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
εἶπαν οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· Τεσσεράκοντα καὶ ἓξ ἔτεσιν οἰκοδομήθη ὁ ναὸς οὗτος, καὶ σὺ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις ἐγερεῖς αὐτόν;
The Jews therefore said, This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?
But he was speaking about the temple of his body.
ὅτε οὖν ἠγέρθη ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἐμνήσθησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι τοῦτο ἔλεγεν, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν τῇ γραφῇ καὶ τῷ λόγῳ ὃν εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς.
So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
Ὡς δὲ ἦν ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν τῷ πάσχα ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, θεωροῦντες αὐτοῦ τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐποίει·
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the festival, many believed in his name, seeing the signs that he was doing.
But Jesus himself did not entrust himself to them because he knew all people.
καὶ ὅτι οὐ χρείαν εἶχεν ἵνα τις μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, αὐτὸς γὰρ ἐγίνωσκεν τί ἦν ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ.
And that he did not need anyone to testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
