John 2:4-23 in American Standard Version (1901)

4 And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews’ manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it.
9 And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom,
10 and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.
13 And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables;
16 and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up.
18 The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake 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 on his name, beholding his signs which he did.
John 2 in American Standard Version (1901)

John 2:4-23 in God's Living Word

4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My time has not yet come.”
5 His mother told the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding two to three metretes.
7 Jesus told 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. He didn’t 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 drunk freely, but you have saved the best till now!”
11 Jesus did this beginning of signs in Cana of Galilee. He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12 After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother, His brothers, and His disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.
13 The time for the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.
15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.
16 He told those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Don’t make my Father’s house a market place!”
17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.”
18 So the Jews answered and asked Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21 But the temple He had spoken of was His body.
22 After He was raised from the dead, His disciples recalled what He had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
23 Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs He was doing and believed in His name.

John 2:4-23 in King James (Authorized) Version

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

John 2:4-23 in Translation for Translators

4 Jesus said to her, “Ma'am/Woman, ◄do not tell me what to do !/why do you tell me what to do ?► RHQ It is not yet time MTY to show that I am the Messiah by working miracles .”
5 Then Jesus' mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
6 There were six empty stone jars there. The Jews habitually put water in them to use for washing things to make them acceptable to God. Each jar held ◄20 to 30 gallons/80 to 120 liters►.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now, ladle out some of it and take it ◄to the head waiter/to the master of ceremonies►.” So the servants did that.
9 ◄The head waiter/The master of ceremonies► tasted the water, which had now become wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants who had ladled out the wine knew. The wine was delicious! So he called the bridegroom over,
10 and said to him, “Everyone else serves the best wine first. Then when the guests have drunk so much that they cannot tell the difference, they serve the cheap wine. But you have not done what others do. You have kept the best wine until now!”
11 That was the first miracle that Jesus did. He did it in Cana town, in Galilee district. By doing it he showed how awesome he is, and as a result, we his disciples believed that he truly was the Messiah.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum city with his mother and younger brothers and us his disciples. We stayed there several days.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover celebration, Jesus and we his disciples went up to Jerusalem.
14 There, in the Temple courtyard, he saw some men who were selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons for sacrifices. He also saw men who were sitting at tables, making a big profit as they gave people Temple tax coins in exchange for their Roman coins.
15 Then Jesus made a whip from some cords and used it to chase out the sheep and cattle from the Temple courtyard. By overturning their tables he scattered the coins of the men who were exchanging them.
16 He said to those who were selling doves, “Take these doves away from here! Stop defiling my Father's Temple by making it a market!”
17 Then we disciples remembered that these words had been written {that someone/David had written these words} in the Scriptures prophesying what the Messiah would say: “Others PRS will strongly oppose me because I greatly desire that people respect your Sacred Tent.”
18 So one of the Jewish leaders SYN replied to him, “What miracle will you perform to show us that you have authority from God to do these things?”
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
20 So the Jewish leaders SYN said, “We have been building this Temple for forty-six years and it is not finished yet! So ◄there is no way you will build it within three days!/how will you build it within three days?► RHQ”
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, he was really talking about his own body.
22 Later, after Jesus had died and had become alive again, we his disciples remembered the words he had said. As a result, we believed what had been prophesied in the Scriptures about the Messiah becoming alive again, and we believed that what Jesus said was true.
23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many people came to believe that he was the Messiah because they saw the miracles he was performing.

John 2:4-23 in Bible in Basic English

4 Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come.
5 His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.
6 Now six pots of stone, every one taking two or three firkins of water, were placed there for the purpose of washing, as is the way of the Jews.
7 Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.
8 Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.
9 After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,
10 And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.
11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.
13 The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:
15 And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables;
16 And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.
17 And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.
18 Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?
19 And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.
20 The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!
21 But his words were about that holy building which was his body.
22 So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.
23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

4 Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come.
5 His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do.
6 Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each.
7 Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry it to the feast-master. And they carried it.
9 But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,
10 and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when men have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now.
11 This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 After this he descended to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.
13 And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting;
15 and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast them all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,
16 and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.
18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

8 And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.

10 And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.
13 And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
15 And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
16 And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
17 And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
18 The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
19 Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.

16 And He said to those selling the doves, “Take these things away from here! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!”
17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “The zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
18 Therefore the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21 But He was speaking about the temple of His body.
22 Therefore, when He was raised up from among the dead, His disciples remembered that He spoke this thing, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

4 Jesus says to her: “What is that to you and me, woman? My time has not yet come.”
5 His mother says to the servants, “Do whatever He may tell you.”
6 (Now there were six stone waterpots set there, according to the purification rites of the Jews, containing 20 or 30 gallons each.)
7 Jesus says to them, “Fill the pots with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8 So He says to them, “Now, draw some out and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So they took it.
9 Well, when the master of ceremonies tasted the water that had become wine—he did not know where it came from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew—he calls the bridegroom
10 and says to him: “Everybody serves the good wine first, then, when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”
11 This, the first of the miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed into Him.
12 After this He went down to Capernaum—He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples—but they did not stay there many days.
13 Now the Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And in the Temple He found people selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the moneychangers at work.
15 When He had made a scourge out of cords, He drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and as for the moneychangers, He overturned the tables and scattered the coins.
16 And to the dove-sellers He said: “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father's House into a marketplace!”
17 Then His disciples remembered that it stands written, “Zeal for Your House consumes me.”
18 So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do you show us, since you do these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it.”
20 So the Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and you will raise it in three days?!”
21 But He was speaking about the temple of His body.
22 Therefore, when He was raised from among the dead His disciples remembered that He had said this; so they believed the Scripture, even the word that Jesus had spoken.
23 Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed into His name, observing the signs that He was doing.

John 2:4-23 in Free Bible Version

4 “Mother, why should you involve me? My time hasn't come yet,” he replied.
5 His mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Standing nearby were six stone jars used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each one holding twenty to thirty gallons.
7 “Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them right up.
8 Then he told them, “Pour some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So they took him some.
9 The master of ceremonies didn't know where it had come from, only the servants knew. But when he tasted the water that had been turned to wine, he called the bridegroom over.
10 “Everyone serves out the best wine first,” he told him, “and once people have had plenty to drink, then they put out the cheaper wine. But you have kept the best wine till last!”
11 This was the very first of Jesus' miraculous signs, and was performed in Cana of Galilee. Here he revealed his glory, and his disciples put their trust in him.
12 After this Jesus left for Capernaum with his mother, brothers, and disciples where they stayed for a few days.
13 Since it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went on to Jerusalem.
14 In the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves; and money-changers sitting at their tables.
15 He made a whip out of cords and drove everyone out of the Temple, along with the sheep and cattle, scattering coins of the money-changers and turning over their tables.
16 He ordered the dove-sellers, “Take these things out of here! Don't turn my Father's house into a market!”
17 His disciples remembered the Scripture that says, “My devotion for your house is like a fire burning inside me!”
18 The Jewish leaders reacted, asking him, “What right do you have to do this? Show us some miraculous sign to prove it!”
19 Jesus replied, “Destroy this Temple, and in three days I'll raise it up!”
20 “It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you're going to raise it up in three days?” the Jewish leaders replied.
21 But the Temple Jesus was speaking of was his body.
22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered what he said, and so they believed in Scripture and Jesus' own words.
23 As a result of the miracles Jesus did while he was in Jerusalem during the Passover, many believed in him.

4 Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, what haue I to doe with thee? mine houre is not yet come.
5 His mother saide vnto the seruants, Whatsoeuer he sayeth vnto you, doe it.
6 And there were set there, sixe waterpots of stone, after the maner of the purifying of the Iewes, conteining two or three firkins a piece.
7 And Iesus sayde vnto them, Fill the waterpots with water. Then they filled them vp to the brim.
8 Then he sayde vnto them, Draw out nowe and beare vnto the gouernour of the feast. So they bare it.
9 Nowe when the gouernour of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he knewe not whence it was: but the seruants, which drewe the water, knewe) the gouernour of ye feast called the bridegrome,
10 And saide vnto him, All men at the beginning set foorth good wine, and when men haue well drunke, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept backe the good wine vntill nowe.
11 This beginning of miracles did Iesus in Cana a towne of Galile, and shewed forth his glorie: and his disciples beleeued on him.
12 After that, he went downe into Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they continued not many daies there.
13 For the Iewes Passeouer was at hande. Therefore Iesus went vp to Hierusalem.
14 And he found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheepe, and doues, and changers of money, sitting there.
15 Then hee made a scourge of small cordes, and draue them all out of the Temple with the sheepe and oxen, and powred out the changers money, and ouerthrewe the tables,
16 And said vnto them that solde doues, Take these things hence: make not my fathers house, an house of marchandise.
17 And his disciples remembred, that it was written, The zeale of thine house hath eaten me vp.
18 Then answered the Iewes, and saide vnto him, What signe shewest thou vnto vs, that thou doest these things?
19 Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Destroy this Temple, and in three daies I will raise it vp againe.
20 Then said the Iewes, Fourtie and sixe yeeres was this Temple a building, and wilt thou reare it vp in three daies?
21 But he spake of the temple of his bodie.
22 Assoone therefore as he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that hee thus sayde vnto them: and they beleeued the Scripture, and the worde which Iesus had saide.
23 Nowe when hee was at Hierusalem at the Passeouer in the feast, many beleeued in his Name, when they sawe his miracles which he did.

4 “What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the water-jars with water.”
8 And, when they had filled them to the brim, he added, “Now take some out, and carry it to the Master of the feast.” The servants did so.
9 And, when the Master of the feast had tasted the water which had now become wine, not knowing where it had come from — although the servants who had taken out the water knew —
10 He called the groom and said to him, “Everyone puts good wine on the table first, and inferior wine afterward, when his guests have drunk freely; but you have kept back the good wine till now!”
11 This, the first sign of his mission, Jesus gave at Cana in Galilee, and by it revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum — he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; but they stayed there only a few days.
13 Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money changers at their counters.
15 So he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the Temple Courts, and the sheep and bullocks as well; he scattered the money of the money changers, and overturned their tables,
16 and said to the pigeon-dealers, “Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's house into a market house.”
17 His disciples remembered that scripture said — ‘Passion for your house will consume me.’
18 Then some of the religious authorities asked Jesus, “What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?”
19 “Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it in three days.”
20 “This Temple,” the authorities replied, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
21 But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
22 Afterward, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the passage of scripture, and the words which Jesus had spoken.

7 Yeshua Salvation said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” They filled them up to the brim.

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews, and said to him, What sign showest thou to us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day , many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he performed.

Yochanan 2:4-23 in World Messianic Bible

4 Yeshua 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 Yeshua 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 Yeshua 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 in Judea was at hand, and Yeshua 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 Judeans therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
19 Yeshua answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 The Judeans 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 Yeshua 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.

5 His mother saith to the ministers, Whatever thing he saith to you, do ye.
6 And there were set six stone cans or pots, after the cleansing of the Jews, holding each two or three metretes or measures.

8 And Jesus said to them, Draw ye now, and bear ye to the master of the feast. And they bare.
9 And when the master of the feast had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whereof it was, but the ministers knew that drew the water, the master of the feast calleth the spouse,

11 Jesus did this the beginning of signs, in the Cana of Galilee, and showed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

15 And when he had made as it were a scourge of small cords, he drove out all or cast all out of the temple, and oxen, and sheep; and he shedded out the money of changers, and turned upside-down the boards.
16 And he said to them that sold culvers, Take away from hence these things, and do not ye make the house of my Father an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples had mind, for it was written, The fervent love or zeal of thine house hath eaten me.
18 Therefore the Jews answered, and said to him, What token or sign showest thou to us, that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered, and said to them, Undo ye this temple, and in three days I shall raise it.

4 And Jhesus seith to hir, What to me and to thee, womman? myn our cam not yit.
5 His modir seith to the mynystris, What euere thing he seie to you, do ye.
6 And there weren set `sixe stonun cannes, aftir the clensyng of the Jewis, holdynge ech tweyne ether thre metretis.
7 And Jhesus seith to hem, Fille ye the pottis with watir. And thei filliden hem, vp to the mouth.
8 And Jhesus seide to hem, Drawe ye now, and bere ye to the architriclyn. And thei baren.
9 And whanne the architriclyn hadde tastid the watir maad wiyn, and wiste not wherof it was, but the mynystris wisten that drowen the watir, the architriclyn clepith the spouse,

11 Jhesus dide this the bigynnyng of signes in the Cane of Galilee, and schewide his glorie; and hise disciplis bileueden in hym.
12 Aftir these thingis he cam doun to Cafarnaum, and his modir, and hise britheren, and hise disciplis; and thei dwelliden `there not many daies.

15 And whanne he hadde maad as it were a scourge of smale cordis, he droof out alle of the temple, and oxun, and scheep; and he schedde the money of chaungeris, and turnede vpsedoun the boordis.

John 2:4-23 in Young's Literal Translation

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;
