3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesús le respondió: Mujer, ¿qué [nos toca] a Mí y a ti? Aún no [llega ] mi hora.

6 Estaban allí colocadas seis tinajas de piedra con agua que usaban para purificarse. Cada una tenía capacidad como para cien litros.
6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
7 Jesús les mandó: Llenen las tinajas de agua. Y las llenaron hasta el borde.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
8 También les dijo: Ahora saquen agua y lleven al director de la fiesta. Y se la llevaron.

9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom

10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!”
11 Jesús realizó este primer milagro en Caná de Galilea, donde manifestó su gloria, y sus discípulos creyeron en Él.
11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 Después de esto Él descendió a Cafarnaúm con su madre, [sus] hermanos y sus discípulos. Permanecieron allí pocos días.
12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
13 Cuando se acercaba la Pascua de los judíos, Jesús subió a Jerusalén.
13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 Encontró en el Templo a los que vendían bueyes, ovejas y palomas, y a los cambistas sentados.
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
15 Después de arreglar un azote de cuerdas, echó a todos del Templo, y también las ovejas y los bueyes. Desparramó la moneda de los cambistas, volcó las mesas
15 He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables.
16 y dijo a los que vendían palomas: ¡Quiten éstas de aquí! ¡No conviertan la Casa de mi Padre en casa de mercado!
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
17 Recordaron sus discípulos que está escrito: El celo de tu Casa me consumirá.
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
18 Los judíos intervinieron: Ya que haces estas cosas, ¿qué señal nos muestras?
18 The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
19 Jesús respondió: Destruyan este Templo y en tres días lo levantaré.
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Los judíos dijeron: Este Templo fue edificado durante 46 años, ¿y Tú lo levantarás en tres días?
20 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
21 Pero Él hablaba del Templo de su cuerpo.
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 Cuando [Él] fue resucitado de entre [los] muertos, sus discípulos recordaron que dijo esto y creyeron en la Escritura y en la Palabra de Jesús.
22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
23 Mientras [Jesús] estaba en Jerusalén en la fiesta de la Pascua, muchos creyeron en su Nombre cuando vieron las señales que hacía.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
24 Pero Jesús no confiaba en ellos porque conocía a todos.

25 No tenía necesidad de que alguien le diera testimonio acerca del hombre, porque sabía [lo] que había en él.

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.

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 …
