showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And …
John 2:4 Translation
I was wondering if anyone had some insight on the translation of John 2:4. The verse seems to be rendered in a variety of ways, usually either that Jesus says the lack of wine is of no concern to Him, or to both Him and Mary.
