< Yochanan 2 >

1 And the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galil, and the mother of Yeshua was there.
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
2 Now Yeshua also was invited, with his talmidim, to the wedding.
and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3 And when the wine ran out, Yeshua's mother said to him, "They have no wine."
When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
4 Yeshua said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come."
“Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
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.
Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Yeshua said to them, "Fill the water jars with water." They filled them up to the brim.
Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them 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.
“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They 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 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
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."
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!”
11 This beginning of his signs Yeshua did in Cana of Galil, and revealed his glory; and his talmidim believed in him.
Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12 After this, he went down to Kfar-Nahum, he, and his mother and brothers, and his talmidim; and they stayed there a few days.
After this, He went down to Capernaum with 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 Jerusalem.
When 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 men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
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 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.
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father's house a marketplace."
To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
17 His talmidim remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."
His disciples remembered that it is 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?"
On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
19 Yeshua answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
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 took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.
22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his talmidim remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Yeshua had said.
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.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, after seeing his signs which he did.
While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.
24 But Yeshua did not trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.
25 and because he did not need anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
