< John 2 >
1 And the third day a wedding occurred in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee [District, Circuit]. Yeshua's [Salvation]'s mother was there.
2 And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the wedding.
Yeshua [Salvation] also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And having lacked wine the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.
When the wine ran out, Yeshua's [Salvation]'s mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
4 And Jesus says to her, What is with me and with thee, woman? My hour is not yet here.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother says to the helpers, Whatever he may say to you, do.
His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
6 Now there were six stone water pots laying there in accordance with the purification of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.
Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Judean [Person from Praise] way of purifying, containing two to three metretes [20 to 30 gal; 37.85 to 75.7 L] for each pot, [a total of 1,200 to 1,800 gal; 188.7 to 315 L].
7 Jesus says to them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them until over.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” They filled them up to the brim.
8 And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry to the feast-ruler. And they carried.
He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
9 And when the feast-ruler tasted the water that became wine, and had not known from where it was (but the helpers who drew the water had known), the feast-ruler called the bridegroom,
When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 and says to him, Every man sets out the good wine first, and when they drank much, then the lesser. Thou have kept the good wine until now.
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 is the beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and he manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
This beginning of his signs Yeshua [Salvation] did in Cana of Galilee [District, Circuit], and revealed his glory; and his disciples trusted in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples. And they remained there not many days.
After this, he went down to Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion], he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
The Pesac ·Passover· in Judah [Praised] was at hand, and Yeshua [Salvation] went up to Jerusalem [City of peace].
14 And he found sitting in the temple those who sell oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers.
He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
15 And having made a whip from cords, he drove all out from the temple, both the sheep and the oxen. And he poured out the coins of the moneychangers, and turned over their tables.
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 And he said to those who sell the doves, Take these things from here. Make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make 'Avi ·my Father·’s house a marketplace!”
17 And his disciples remembered that it is written, Zeal for thy house will consume me.
(His disciples later remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”)
18 The Jews therefore answered, and said to him, What sign do thou show us since thou do these things?
The Jews [Praisers] therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 The Jews therefore said, This temple was forty-six years being built, and will thou raise it up in three days?
The Jews [Praisers] therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
21 But that man spoke about the temple of his body.
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was raised from the dead his disciples remembered that he spoke this, and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus said.
When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they trusted the Scripture, and the word which Yeshua [Salvation] had said.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover during the feast, many believed in his name seeing his signs that he did.
Now when he was in Jerusalem [City of peace] at the Pesac ·Passover·, during the feast, many trusted in his name, observing his signs which he did.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men,
But Yeshua [Salvation] didn’t trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
25 and because he had no need that any man should testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
