8 And G2532 he saith G3004 unto them, G846 Draw out G501 now, G3568 and G2532 bear G5342 unto the governor of the feast. G755 And G2532 they bare G5342 it.
Trust H982 in the LORD H3068 with all thine heart; H3820 and lean H8172 not unto thine own understanding. H998 In all thy ways H1870 acknowledge H3045 him, and he shall direct H3474 thy paths. H734
Also their love, H160 and their hatred, H8135 and their envy, H7068 is now H3528 perished; H6 neither have they any more a portion H2506 for ever H5769 in any thing that is done H6213 under the sun. H8121

Commentary on John 2 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 2
In the close of the foregoing chapter we had an account of the first disciples whom Jesus called, Andrew and Peter, Philip and Nathanael. These were the first-fruits to God and to the Lamb, Rev. 14:4. Now, in this chapter, we have,
Jhn 2:1-11
