2:1 The wine miracle

2On the Tuesday[fn], there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and Yeshua’s mother was there 2and Yeshua and his apprentices were also invited. 3When the wine ran out at the wedding, his mother said to him, “They haven’t got any more wine.”

4Yeshua answered, “What does that have to do with us, mother? It’s not the time for my ministry yet.

5But his mother told the servants, “Just do whatever he tells you.”

6Now there were six empty stone water jars there that are used for Jewish purification ceremonies. (Each one could hold over 70 litres.) 7So Yeshua told them to fill the jars with water, and they filled them up. 8Then he said, “Ok, now take a sample out and give it to the MC.” So they took some 9and when the MC tasted the water that had now turned to wine, not knowing where it had come from he called the groom 10and 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!”

11This 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.


2:1 Or possibly, ‘Three days later’.


2And on_the the third day a_wedding became in Kana of_ the _Galilaia/(Gālīl), and the mother of_ the _Yaʸsous was there.
2And the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) was_ also _invited and the apprentices/followers of_him to the wedding.
3And having_been_deficient of_wine, the mother the of_Yaʸsous is_saying to him:
They_are_ not _having wine.
4And the Yaʸsous is_saying to_her:
What to_me and to_you, woman?
The hour of_me is_ not_yet _coming.
5The mother of_him is_saying to_the servants:
Do whatever anything wishfully he_may_be_saying to_you_all.
6And six stone waterpots were lying there according_to the purification of_the Youdaiōns, having_room_for two or three measures each.
7Is_saying to_them the Yaʸsous:
Fill the waterpots with_water.
And they_filled them to upward.
8And he_is_saying to_them:
Draw now and be_carrying to_the the_headwaiter.
And they carried it.
9And when the the_headwaiter tasted the water having_been_become wine, and had_ not _known from_where is, but the servants had_known the ones having_drawn the water, the headwaiter is_calling the bridegroom 10and he_is_saying to_him:
Every person is_presenting first the good wine, and the lessor whenever they_may_be_being_drunk, you have_kept the good wine until now.
11This beginning of_the signs the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) did in Kana the of_Galilaia/(Gālīl), and revealed the glory of_him, and the apprentices/followers of_him believed in him.
12After this he_came_down to Kafarnaʼoum, he and the mother of_him, and the brothers and the apprentices/followers of_him, and they_remained there not many days.
