1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
1 Y AL tercer día hiciéronse unas bodas en Caná de Galilea; y estaba allí la madre de Jesús.
2 and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
2 Y fué también llamado Jesús y sus discípulos á las bodas.
3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
3 Y faltando el vino, la madre de Jesús le dijo: Vino no tienen.
4 “Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
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 six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.
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 told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
7 Díceles Jesús: Henchid estas tinajuelas de agua. E hinchiéronlas hasta arriba.
8 “Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
8 Y díceles: Sacad ahora, y presentad al maestresala. Y presentáron[le].
9 and 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
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 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!”
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 Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed 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 went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
12 Después de esto descendió á Capernaum, él, y su madre, y hermanos, y discípulos; y estuvieron allí no muchos días.
13 When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
13 Y estaba cerca la Pascua de los Judíos; y subió Jesús á Jerusalem.
14 In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
14 Y halló en el templo á los que vendían bueyes, y ovejas, y palomas, y á los cambiadores sentados.
15 So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and 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 To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
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 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
17 Entonces se acordaron sus discípulos que está escrito: El celo de tu casa me comió.
18 On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
18 Y los Judíos respondieron, y dijéronle: ¿Qué señal nos muestras de que haces esto?
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
19 Respondió Jesús, y díjoles: Destruid este templo, y en tres días lo levantaré.
20 “This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to 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 But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.
21 Mas él hablaba del templo de su cuerpo.
22 After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and 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 While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.
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 entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.
24 Mas el mismo Jesús no se confiaba á sí mismo de ellos, porque él conocía á todos,
25 He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in 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 …
