< John 2 >
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
AND on the third day there was a feast in Kotna, a city of Galila; and the mother of Jeshu was there:
2 and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
and Jeshu and his disciples were called to the feast.
3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
And the wine failed, and his mother saith to him, to Jeshu, They have no wine.
4 “Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
Jeshu saith to her, What (is it) to me and to thee, woman? Not yet hath come mine hour.
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
His mother saith to the servitors, Whatever he telleth you, do.
6 Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.
Now there were six waterpots of stone set there, unto the purification of the Jihudoyee, which contained each two quarantals or three.
7 Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
Jeshu saith to them, Fill these water-pots with waters; and they filled them to the top.
8 “Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
He saith to them, Draw now, and carry to the chief of the guests. And they carried.
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
And when that chief of the guests had tasted those waters which were made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the servitors knew, who had filled them with waters, ) the chief of the guests called the bridegroom,
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!”
and said to him, Every man at first the good wine produceth, and when they are satisfied, then that which is inferior; but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
This is the first sign that Jeshu wrought in Kotna of Galila, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
AFTER this he went to Kapher-nachum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples. And they were there a few days.
13 When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
And the petscha of the Jihudoyee was nigh, and Jeshu went up to Urishlem.
14 In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
And he found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting.
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.
And he made him a scourge of cord, and drove them all from the temple, and the sheep and the oxen and the money-changers; and he shed their money, and their tables he overturned.
16 To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
And to those who sold doves he said, Take these hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.
17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thy house hath devoured me.
18 On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
The Jihudoyee answered and said to him, What sign showest thou to us, as these things thou doest?
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
Jeshu answered, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it.
20 “This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
The Jihudoyee say to him, Forty-and six years was this temple being built, and wilt thou in three days raise it?
21 But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.
But he spake of the temple of his body.
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.
But when he was risen from the house of the dead, his disciples remembered that this he had said; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jeshu had spoken.
23 While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.
WHILE Jeshu was in Jerusalem at the petscha, at the feast, Many believed in him who saw the signs which he wrought.
24 But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.
But he, Jeshu, did not confide himself to them, because he knew every man,
25 He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
and needed not that any should testify to him concerning any man, because he knew what is in man.
