< John 2 >
1 And the third day there was a wedding in Qatne of Galila, and the mother of Yeshua was there.
2 Now Yeshua also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
3 And when the wine ran out, Yeshua's mother said to him, "They have no wine."
4 Yeshua said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come."
5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
6 Now there were six stone water jars set there after the Jewish manner of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
7 Yeshua said to them, "Fill the water jars with water." They filled them up to the brim.
8 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it.
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,
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 This beginning of his signs Yeshua did in Qatne of Galila, and 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.
13 The Jewish Passover was near, and Yeshua went up to Urishlim.
14 And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting.
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.
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father's house a marketplace."
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal 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?"
19 Yeshua answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
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?"
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
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.
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.
24 But Yeshua did not trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
25 and because he did not need anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
