1 And on the third day, a wedding was held in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
1 Y AL tercer día hiciéronse unas bodas en Caná de Galilea; y estaba allí la madre de Jesús.
2 Now Jesus was also invited to the wedding, with his disciples.
2 Y fué también llamado Jesús y sus discípulos á las bodas.
3 And when the wine was failing, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
3 Y faltando el vino, la madre de Jesús le dijo: Vino no tienen.
4 And Jesus said to her: “What is that to me and to you, woman? My hour has not yet arrived.”
4 Y dícele Jesús: ¿Qué tengo yo contigo, mujer? aun no ha venido mi hora.
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
5 Su madre dice á los que servían: Haced todo lo que os dijere.
6 Now in that place, there were six stone water jars, for the purification ritual of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.
6 Y estaban allí seis tinajuelas de piedra para agua, conforme á la purificación de los Judíos, que cabían en cada una dos ó tres cántaros.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” And they filled them to the very top.
7 Díceles Jesús: Henchid estas tinajuelas de agua. E hinchiéronlas hasta arriba.
8 And Jesus said to them, “Now draw from it, and carry it to the chief steward of the feast.” And they took it to him.
8 Y díceles: Sacad ahora, y presentad al maestresala. Y presentáron[le].
9 Then, when the chief steward had tasted the water made into wine, since he did not know where it was from, for only the servants who had drawn the water knew, the chief steward called the groom,
9 Y como el maestresala gustó el agua hecha vino, que no sabía de dónde era (mas lo sabían los sirvientes que habían sacado el agua), el maestresala llama al esposo,
10 and he said to him: “Every man offers the good wine first, and then, when they have become inebriated, he offers what is worse. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
10 Y dícele: Todo hombre pone primero el buen vino, y cuando están satisfechos, entonces lo que es peor; mas tú has guardado el buen vino hasta ahora.
11 This was the beginning of the signs that Jesus accomplished in Cana of Galilee, and it manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
11 Este principio de señales hizo Jesús en Caná de Galilea, y manifestó su gloria; y sus discípulos creyeron en él.
12 After this, he descended to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, but they did not remain there for many days.
12 Después de esto descendió á Capernaum, él, y su madre, y hermanos, y discípulos; y estuvieron allí no muchos días.
13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and so Jesus ascended to Jerusalem.
13 Y estaba cerca la Pascua de los Judíos; y subió Jesús á Jerusalem.
14 And he found, sitting in the temple, sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers.
14 Y halló en el templo á los que vendían bueyes, y ovejas, y palomas, y á los cambiadores sentados.
15 And when he had made something like a whip out of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, including the sheep and the oxen. And he poured out the brass coins of the moneychangers, and he overturned their tables.
15 Y hecho un azote de cuerdas, echólos á todos del templo, y las ovejas, y los bueyes; y derramó los dineros de los cambiadores, y trastornó las mesas;
16 And to those who were selling doves, he said: “Take these things out of here, and do not make my Father’s house into a house of commerce.”
16 Y á los que vendían las palomas, dijo: Quitad de aquí esto, y no hagáis la casa de mi Padre casa de mercado.
17 And truly, his disciples were reminded that it is written: “Zeal for your house consumes me.”
17 Entonces se acordaron sus discípulos que está escrito: El celo de tu casa me comió.
18 Then the Jews responded and said to him, “What sign can you show to us, that you may do these things?”
18 Y los Judíos respondieron, y dijéronle: ¿Qué señal nos muestras de que haces esto?
19 Jesus responded and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
19 Respondió Jesús, y díjoles: Destruid este templo, y en tres días lo levantaré.
20 Then the Jews said, “This temple has been built up over forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?”
20 Dijeron luego los Judíos: En cuarenta y seis años fué este templo edificado, ¿y tú en tres días lo levantarás?
21 Yet he was speaking about the Temple of his body.
21 Mas él hablaba del templo de su cuerpo.
22 Therefore, when he had resurrected from the dead, his disciples were reminded that he had said this, and they believed in the Scriptures and in the word that Jesus had spoken.
22 Por tanto, cuando resucitó de los muertos, sus discípulos se acordaron que había dicho esto; y creyeron á la Escritura, y á la palabra que Jesús había dicho.
23 Now while he was at Jerusalem during the Passover, on the day of the feast, many trusted in his name, seeing his signs that he was accomplishing.
23 Y estando en Jerusalem en la Pascua, en el día de la fiesta, muchos creyeron en su nombre, viendo las señales que hacía.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he himself had knowledge of all persons,
24 Mas el mismo Jesús no se confiaba á sí mismo de ellos, porque él conocía á todos,
25 and because he had no need of anyone to offer testimony about a man. For he knew what was within a man.
25 Y no tenía necesidad que alguien le diese testimonio del hombre; porque él sabía lo que había en el hombre.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Ye know, Brethren, for ye have learnt it as believing in Christ, and continually too do we by our ministry impress it upon you, that the humility of Christ is the medicine of man's swollen pride. For man would not have perished, had he not been swollen up through pride.

The miracle indeed of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby He made the water into wine, is not marvellous to those who know that it was God's doing. For He who made wine on that day at the marriage feast, in those six water-pots, which He commanded to be filled with water, the self-same does this every year in vines.

In preaching the word there is some toil, and this Paul declares when he says, "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine." ( 1 Tim. v.

First of all, after He had made the water wine at Cana of Galilee, He went up to the festival day of the passover, on which occasion it is written, "For many believed in Him, when they saw the signs which He did," as John the disciple of the Lord records.
For to this power what is added about the resurrection refers, "Who shall awake him?" This means that no man but Himself has raised Him, who also said of His own body, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." And the very nature of His death, that is, the height of the cross, is understood …
