< John 2 >

1 The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee [District, Circuit]. Yeshua [Salvation]'s mother was there.
And, on the third day, a marriage, took place, in Cana, of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there, —
2 Yeshua [Salvation] also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage.
and Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, unto the marriage.
3 When the wine ran out, Yeshua [Salvation]'s mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
And, wine falling short, the mother of Jesus saith unto him—Wine, have they none!
4 Yeshua [Salvation] said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
And Jesus saith unto her—What part can I take with thee, O woman? Not yet, hath come, mine hour.
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
His mother saith unto them who are ministering—Whatsoever he may say to you, do!
6 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].
Now there were there, six stone water-vessels, placed, according to the purification of the Jews; holding each, two or three measures.
7 Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” They filled them up to the brim.
Jesus saith unto them—Fill the vessels with water. And 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.
And he saith unto them—Draw out now, and be bearing unto the master of the feast. And they bare.
9 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,
And, when the master of the feast had tasted the water, now made, wine, and knew not whence it was, —though, they who were ministering, knew, even they who had drawn out the water, the master accosteth 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!”
and saith unto him—Every man, first the good wine, setteth out; and, when they had been well-supplied, the inferior: —Thou, hast kept the good wine until, even now.
11 This beginning of his signs Yeshua [Salvation] did in Cana of Galilee [District, Circuit], and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
This, beginning of his signs, did Jesus, in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 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.
After this, he came down into Capernaum, —he, and his mother and brethren, and his disciples; and, there, they abode, not many days.
13 The Pesac ·Passover· in Judah [Praised] was at hand, and Yeshua [Salvation] went up to Jerusalem [City of peace].
And, near, was the passover of the Jews; and, Jesus, went up unto Jerusalem.
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
And he found, in the temple, them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money-changers sitting.
15 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.
And, making a scourge out of rushes, all of them, thrust he forth out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and, the money-changers’ small coins, poured he forth, and, the tables, he overturned;
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make 'Avi ·my Father·’s house a marketplace!”
and unto them who were selling, the doves, he said—Take these things hence! Be not making, the house of my Father, a house of merchandise.
17 (His disciples later remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”)
His disciples remembered that it was written—The zeal of thy house, eateth me up.
18 The Jews [Praisers] therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
The Jews therefore answered, and said unto him, What sign, dost thou point out to us, in that, these things, thou doest?
19 Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
Jesus answered, and said unto them—Take down this shrine, and, in three days, will I raise it.
20 The Jews [Praisers] therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
The Jews, therefore, said—In forty and six years, was this shrine built. And, thou, in three days, wilt raise it!
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
But, he, was speaking concerning the shrine 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 [Salvation] had said.
When, therefore, he had been raised from among the dead, his disciples remembered, that, this, he had been saying; and they believed in the Scripture, and in the word which Jesus had spoken.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem [City of peace] at the Pesac ·Passover·, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
Now, when he was in Jerusalem, during the passover, during the feast, many, believed on his name, viewing his signs which he was doing.
24 But Yeshua [Salvation] didn’t trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
Jesus himself, however, was not trusting himself unto them, by reason of his understanding them all,
25 and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
and because he had, no need, that anyone should bear witness concerning man; for, he, understood what was in man.
