| 8And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. | 8Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, |
| 9When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom | 9and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside |
| 10and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” | 10and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now." |

| 14In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. | 14In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. |
| 15And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. | 15So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. |

| 19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” | 19Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." |
| 20The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” | 20They replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?" |
| 21But he was speaking about the temple of his body. | 21But the temple he had spoken of was his body. |
| 22When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. | 22After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said.

| 24But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people | 24But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. |
| 25and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man. | 25He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person. |
