| 8And He said to them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." So they took it to him. | 8“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, |
| 9When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom, | 9and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside |
| 10and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now." | 10and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!” |

| 19Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." | 19Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.” |
| 20The Jews then said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" | 20“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?” |
| 21But He was speaking of the temple of His body. | 21But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body. |

| 23Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. | 23While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name. |
| 24But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men, | 24But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all. |
| 25and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man. | 25He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man. |
