John 2
1 And the third day there was a wedding in Qatne of Galila, and the mother of Yeshua was there.
Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Now Yeshua also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
3 And when the wine ran out, Yeshua's mother said to him, "They have no wine."
And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him, ‘They have no wine left.’
4 Yeshua said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come."
‘What do you want with me?’ answered Jesus. ‘My time has not come yet.’
5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’
6 Now there were six stone water jars set there after the Jewish manner of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7 Yeshua said to them, "Fill the water jars with water." They filled them up to the brim.
Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the water-jars with water.’
8 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it.
And, when they had filled them to the brim, he added, ‘Now take some out, and carry it to the Master of the feast.’ The servants did so.
9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,
And, when the Master of the feast had tasted the water which had now become wine, not knowing where it had come from – although the servants who had taken out the water knew –
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."
He called the groom and said to him, ‘Everyone puts good wine on the table first, and inferior wine afterwards, when his guests have drunk freely; but you have kept back the good wine till now!’
11 This beginning of his signs Yeshua did in Qatne of Galila, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
This, the first sign of his mission, Jesus gave at Cana in Galilee, and by it revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this, he went down to Kepharnakhum, he, and his mother and brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum – he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; but they stayed there only a few days.
13 The Jewish Passover was near, and Yeshua went up to Urishlim.
Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting.
In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money changers at their counters.
15 And he made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables.
So he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the Temple Courts, and the sheep and bullocks as well; he scattered the money of the money changers, and overturned their tables,
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father's house a marketplace."
and said to the pigeon-dealers, ‘Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s house into a market house.’
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."
His disciples remembered that scripture said – “Passion for your house will consume me.”
18 The Jewish leaders therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?"
Then some of the religious authorities asked Jesus, ‘What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?’
19 Yeshua answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
‘Destroy this temple,’ was his answer, ‘and I will raise it in three days.’
20 The Jewish leaders therefore said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"
‘This Temple,’ the authorities replied, ‘has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to “raise it in three days”?’
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
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 Yeshua had said.
Afterwards, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the passage of scripture, and the words which Jesus had spoken.
23 Now when he was in Urishlim at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, after seeing his signs which he did.
While Jesus was in Jerusalem, during the Passover Festival, many came to trust in him, when they saw the signs of his mission that he was giving.
24 But Yeshua did not trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.
25 and because he did not need anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
He did not need anyone to tell him about people because he could read what was in them.
