New Testament

John 2

1On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

και τη ημερα τη τριτη γαμος εγενετο εν κανα της γαλιλαιας, και ην η μητηρ του ιησου εκει·

2Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

εκληθη δε και ο ιησους και οι μαθηται αυτου εις τον γαμον.

3And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, 'They have no wine.'

και υστερησαντος οινου λεγει η μητηρ του ιησου προς αυτον· οινον ουκ εχουσιν.

4Jesus said to her, 'Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.'

λεγει αυτη ο ιησους· τι εμοι και σοι, γυναι; ουπω ηκει η ωρα μου.

5His mother said to the servants, 'Whatever He says to you, do it.'

λεγει η μητηρ αυτου τοις διακονοις· ο τι αν λεγη υμιν, ποιησατε.

6Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

ησαν δε εκει υδριαι λιθιναι εξ κειμεναι κατα τον καθαρισμον των ιουδαιων, χωρουσαι ανα μετρητας δυο η τρεις.

7Jesus said to them, 'Fill the waterpots with water.' And they filled them up to the brim.

λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους· γεμισατε τας υδριας υδατος. και εγεμισαν αυτας εως ανω.

8And He said to them, 'Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.' And they took it.

και λεγει αυτοις· αντλησατε νυν και φερετε τω αρχιτρικλινω. και ηνεγκαν.

9When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

ως δε εγευσατο ο αρχιτρικλινος το υδωρ οινον γεγενημενον — και ουκ ηδει ποθεν εστιν· οι δε διακονοι ηδεισαν οι ηντληκοτες το υδωρ — φωνει τον νυμφιον ο αρχιτρικλινος

10And he said to him, 'Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!'

και λεγει αυτω· πας ανθρωπος πρωτον τον καλον οινον τιθησιν, και οταν μεθυσθωσιν, τοτε τον ελασσω· συ τετηρηκας τον καλον οινον εως αρτι.

11This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

ταυτην εποιησεν την αρχην των σημειων ο ιησους εν κανα της γαλιλαιας και εφανερωσεν την δοξαν αυτου, και επιστευσαν εις αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου.

12After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.

μετα τουτο κατεβη εις καπερναουμ αυτος και η μητηρ αυτου και οι αδελφοι αυτου και οι μαθηται αυτου, και εκει εμειναν ου πολλας ημερας.

13Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

και εγγυς ην το πασχα των ιουδαιων, και ανεβη εις ιεροσολυμα ο ιησους.

14And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.

και ευρεν εν τω ιερω τους πωλουντας βοας και προβατα και περιστερας, και τους κερματιστας καθημενους.

15When 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.

και ποιησας φραγελλιον εκ σχοινιων παντας εξεβαλεν εκ του ιερου, τα τε προβατα και τους βοας, και των κολλυβιστων εξεχεεν το κερμα και τας τραπεζας ανεστρεψεν,

16And He said to those who sold doves, 'Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!'

και τοις τας περιστερας πωλουσιν ειπεν· αρατε ταυτα εντευθεν· μη ποιειτε τον οικον του πατρος μου οικον εμποριου.

17Then His disciples remembered that it was written, 'Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.'

εμνησθησαν δε οι μαθηται αυτου οτι γεγραμμενον εστιν, ο ζηλος του οικου σου καταφαγεται με.

18So the Jews answered and said to Him, 'What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?'

απεκριθησαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι και ειπον αυτω· τι σημειον δεικνυεις ημιν οτι ταυτα ποιεις;

19Jesus answered and said to them, 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.'

απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις· λυσατε τον ναον τουτον, και εν τρισιν ημεραις εγερω αυτον.

20Then the Jews said, 'It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?'

ειπον ουν οι ιουδαιοι· τεσσαρακοντα και εξ ετεσιν ωκοδομηθη ο ναος ουτος, και συ εν τρισιν ημεραις εγερεις αυτον;

21But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

εκεινος δε ελεγεν περι του ναου του σωματος αυτου.

22Therefore, when 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 said.

οτε ουν ηγερθη εκ νεκρων, εμνησθησαν οι μαθηται αυτου οτι τουτο ελεγεν, και επιστευσαν τη γραφη και τω λογω ω ειπεν ο ιησους.

23Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.

ως δε ην εν τοις ιεροσολυμοις εν τω πασχα εν τη εορτη, πολλοι επιστευσαν εις το ονομα αυτου, θεωρουντες αυτου τα σημεια α εποιει.

24But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men,

αυτος δε ο ιησους ουκ επιστευεν εαυτον αυτοις δια το αυτον γινωσκειν παντας,

25and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.

και οτι ου χρειαν ειχεν ινα τις μαρτυρηση περι του ανθρωπου· αυτος γαρ εγινωσκεν τι ην εν τω ανθρωπω.
