2:1 The wine miracle
2 On the Tuesday[fn], there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and Yeshua’s mother was there 2 and Yeshua and his apprentices were also invited. 3 When the wine ran out at the wedding, his mother said to him, “They haven’t got any more wine.”
4 Yeshua answered, “What does that have to do with us, mother? It’s not the time for my ministry yet.”
5 But his mother told the servants, “Just do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now there were six empty stone water jars there that are used for Jewish purification ceremonies. (Each one could hold over 70 litres.) 7 So Yeshua told them to fill the jars with water, and they filled them up. 8 Then he said, “Ok, now take a sample out and give it to the MC.” So they took some 9 and when the MC tasted the water that had now turned to wine, not knowing where it had come from he called the groom 10 and exclaimed, “Most people supply the best wine at the beginning of the reception, and the cheaper stuff when people are a bit tipsy. But you’ve kept the best wine until last!”
11 This event in Cana, Galilee, was the first of the miracles that Yeshua did, and it revealed his greatness and his followers believed that he was from God.
12 [ref]After that, Yeshua and his mother and brothers and his followers travelled east to Capernaum, but they only stayed there a few days.
2:13 Yeshua disturbs the temple traders
13 [ref]By then it was getting close to the time of the Jewish Feast of the Passover, and Yeshua went down to Yerusalem. 14 There in the temple, he discovered merchants selling cows and sheep and doves, and moneychangers sitting at their tables. 15 Yeshua formed some cords into a whip and drove the sheep and cows out of the temple grounds, and he overturned the tables—spilling the coins of the moneychangers onto the ground. 16 He scolded the ones selling doves, saying, “Get them out of here! Don’t be making my father’s house into a market.” 17 [ref]That reminded his followers of the scripture: “I’ll be filled with zeal for your temple.”
18 Then the Jewish leaders responded, “Do a miracle to show that you have the authority to do these things.”
19 [ref]But Yeshua answered, “Well, destroy this temple and I’ll raise[fn] it again in three days.”
20 The leaders smirked, “This temple took forty-six years to build, and you reckon that you can raise it again in three days?”
21 But Yeshua had been meaning his own body when he was talking about the temple. 22 In the future when he was actually raised from the dead, his followers remembered this statement, and they believed both the Hebrew scriptures and Yeshua’s message.
2:23 Yeshua does miracles and knows thoughts
23 When Yeshua was at the Passover Feast in Yerusalem, many believed in his authority because they saw the miracles that he was able to do. 24 But Yeshua never fully entrusted himself to them, because he knew what people are like. 25 (He didn’t need anyone to tell him what people are like because he could see what any person was like on the inside.)
2:1 Or possibly, ‘Three days later’.
2:19 We couldn’t easily use rebuild here because there’s a play on words—see verse 21.
