2:1  On Tuesday there was a wedding at Kanah in the Galil; and the mother of Yeshua was there.
2:2  Yeshua too was invited to the wedding, along with his talmidim.
2:3  The wine ran out, and Yeshua’s mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
2:4  Yeshua replied, “Mother, why should that concern me? — or you? My time hasn’t come yet.”
2:5  His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
2:6  Now six stone water-jars were standing there for the Jewish ceremonial washings, each with a capacity of twenty or thirty gallons.
2:7  Yeshua told them, “Fill the jars with water,” and they filled them to the brim.
2:8  He said, “Now draw some out, and take it to the man in charge of the banquet”; and they took it.
2:9  The man in charge tasted the water; it had now turned into wine! He did not know where it had come from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. So he called the bridegroom
2:10  and said to him, “Everyone else serves the good wine first and the poorer wine after people have drunk freely. But you have kept the good wine until now!”
2:11  This, the first of Yeshua’s miraculous signs, he did at Kanah in the Galil; he manifested his glory, and his talmidim came to trust in him.
2:12  Afterwards, he, his mother and brothers, and his talmidim went down to K’far-Nachum and stayed there a few days.
2:13  It was almost time for the festival of Pesach in Y’hudah, so Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim.
2:14  In the Temple grounds he found those who were selling cattle, sheep and pigeons, and others who were sitting at tables exchanging money.
2:15  He made a whip from cords and drove them all out of the Temple grounds, the sheep and cattle as well. He knocked over the money-changers’ tables, scattering their coins;
2:16  and to the pigeon-sellers he said, “Get these things out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market?”
2:17  (His talmidim later recalled that the Tanakh says, “Zeal for your house will devour me.” )
2:18  So the Judeans confronted him by asking him, “What miraculous sign can you show us to prove you have the right to do all this?”
2:19  Yeshua answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
2:20  The Judeans said, “It took 46 years to build this Temple, and you’re going to raise it in three days?”
2:21  But the “temple” he had spoken of was his body.
2:22  Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his talmidim remembered that he had said this, and they trusted in the Tanakh and in what Yeshua had said.
2:23  Now while Yeshua was in Yerushalayim at the Pesach festival, there were many people who “believed in his name” when they saw the miracles he performed.
2:24  But he did not commit himself to them, for he knew what people are like —
2:25  that is, he didn’t need anyone to inform him about a person, because he knew what was in the person’s heart.
