AND the third day there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee; and the mother of IaHUShUA was there:
2 And both IaHUShUA and His disciples were called to the
marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of IaHUShUA said to Him,
They have no wine.
4 IaHUShUA replied to her, What is that to Myself or even to you?
dear woman! My hour is not yet come. (the vow of the
"Nazarite" prohibits, among other things, the use of
wine or strong drink.. IaHUShUA's vow was not yet accomplished.)
5 His mother said to the servants, What ever He tells you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, containing
about twenty gallons each.
7 IaHUShUA said unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And
they filled them up to the brim.
8 And He said, Draw out now, and bear unto the host of the feast.
And they bare it.
9 When the host of the feast had tasted the water that was made
wine, and knew not where it was from: (but the servants which
drew the water knew), the host of the feast called the
bridegroom,
10 And said unto him, Every man sets out the good wine first; and
when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have
kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did IaHUShUA in Cana of Galilee,
and made His excellence apparent; and His disciples were
persuaded concerning Him.
12 After this He went down to Capernaum, He, and His mother, and
His brethren, and His disciples: and they continued there not
many days.
3:22 After these things came IaHUShUA and His disciples into the
land of Iahudah; and there He tarried with them, and immersed.
23 And IaHUChaNaN also was immersing at a place of springs near
to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and
were immersed.
24 For IaHUChaNaN was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of IaHUChaNaN's
disciples and the Iahudim about washing.
26 And they came unto IaHUChaNaN, and said to him, Rabbi, He that
was with you beyond this Iarden, of Whom you testified, behold,
the same immerses, and all come to Him.
27 IaHUChaNaN answered and said, Not even one person is able to
receive, unless it is given to them from on High.
28 You yourselves were witness, that I said, I am not
Ha-MaShIaCh, but that I am sent before Him.
29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but this friend of
the bridegroom, standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy
through the voice of the bridegroom: accordingly this my joy is
made full.
30 It is necessary that He increase, but I to be made less.
2:13 And when the Passover was at hand, IaHUShUA went up to
IeRUShaLeM.
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and
doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when He had made a whip of small cords, He drove them all
out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out
the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things away;
make not My Father's house an house of merchandise.
17 And His disciples remembered that it was written, "The
zeal for Your house has eaten me up."
18 Then answered the Iahudim and said unto Him, What sign do You
show us, since You do these things?
19 IaHUShUA answered them and said, Destroy this Temple, and in
three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Iahudim, Forty and six years was this temple in
building, and will You cause it to raise up in three days?
21 But He spoke of the Temple of His body.
22 When therefore He was risen from the dead, His disciples
remembered that He had said this unto them; and they knew the
Truth of the Scripture, even the word which IaHUShUA had said.
23 Now when He was in IeRUShaLeM at the Passover, in the feast
day, many were persuaded concerning His Name, when they saw the
miracles which He did.
24 But IaHUShUA did not confide in them, because He knew all.
25 And needed not that any should testify of human nature; for He
knew what was in a human being.
