2:1  And on the third day there was a wedding feast in Qatna, a city of Galilee, and the mother of Yeshua was there.
2:2  And also Yeshua himself and his disciples were invited to the wedding banquet,
2:3  And it was lacking wine, and his mother said to Yeshua, “There is no wine for them.”
2:4  Yeshua said to her, “What do we have in common, woman? My hour has not quite yet come.”
2:5  His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do.”
2:6  But there were there six watercasks of stone, set for the purifying of the Judeans, which held two or three nine-gallon-measures each.
2:7  Yeshua said to them: “Fill the watercasks with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
2:8  He said to them: “Draw out now and take to The Master of Ceremonies.”
2:9  And when The Master of Ceremonies tasted that water that had become wine, and did not know from where it was, ( but the servants knew, for they had filled them with water ) the Master of Ceremonies called the bridegroom,
2:10  And he said to him: “Every man first calls for the good wine, and when they are drunk, then that which is inferior, but you have kept the good wine until now.”
2:11  This first miracle Yeshua did in Qatna of Galilee and he manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
2:12  After this he went down to Capernaum, he, his mother, his brothers and his disciples, and they were there a few days.
2:13  And the Passover of the Jews was drawing near, and Yeshua went up to Jerusalem.
2:14  And he found in The Temple those that were selling lambs, sheep and doves, and there were money exchangers sitting.
2:15  And he made for himself a whip from rope and cast all of them out of The Temple, and the sheep, the lambs, and money exchangers, and he poured out their money and overturned their tables.
2:16  And to those who had been selling doves he said: “Take these things out of here, and do not make my Father's house a house of trade.”
2:17  And his disciples called to mind that which is written: “The zeal of your house has consumed Me.”
2:18  But the Judeans answered and said to him: “What sign are you showing us that you are doing these things?”
2:19  Yeshua answered and said to them: “Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
2:20  The Jews were saying to him: “For forty six years this temple has been being built, and will you raise it in three days?”
2:21  But he said this concerning the temple of his body.
2:22  But when he had risen from the grave, his disciples were reminded that he had said this, and they believed the scriptures and the word that Yeshua had spoken.
2:23  But when Yeshua was staying in Jerusalem at Passover during the feast, many trusted in him because they saw the miracles that he performed.
2:24  But Yeshua did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all men,
2:25  And he did not need a man to testify to him about anyone, for he himself knew what was in a man.
