John 2

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 On Tuesday there was a wedding at Kanah in the Galil; and the mother of Yeshua was there.

2 Yeshua too was invited to the wedding, along with his talmidim.

3 The wine ran out, and Yeshua's mother said to him, "They have no more wine."

4 Yeshua replied, "Mother, why should that concern me? -- or you? My time hasn't come yet."

5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

6 Now six stone water-jars were standing there for the Jewish ceremonial washings, each with a capacity of twenty or thirty gallons.

7 Yeshua told them, "Fill the jars with water," and they filled them to the brim.

8 He said, "Now draw some out, and take it to the man in charge of the banquet"; and they took it.

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 bride groom

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!"

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.

12 Afterwards, he, his mother and brothers, and his talmidim went down to K'far-Nachum and stayed there a few days.

13 It was almost time for the festival of Pesach in Y'hudah, so Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim.

14 In the Temple grounds he found those who were selling cattle, sheep and pigeons, and others who were sitting at tables exchanging money.

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;

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?"

17 (His talmidim later recalled that the Tanakh says, "Zeal for your house will devour me." )

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?"

19 Yeshua answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again."

20 The Judeans said, "It took 46 years to build this Temple, and you're going to raise it in three days?"

21 But the "temple" he had spoken of was his body.

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.

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.

24 But he did not commit himself to them, for he knew what people are like --

25 that is, he didn't need anyone to inform him about a person, because he knew what was in the person's heart.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:

2 And Jesus with his disciples came as guests.

3 When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come.

5 His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.

6 Now six pots of stone, every one taking two or three firkins of water, were placed there for the purpose of washing, as is the way of the Jews.

7 Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.

8 Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.

9 After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,

10 And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.

11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.

13 The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:

15 And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables;

16 And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.

17 And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.

18 Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?

19 And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.

20 The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!

21 But his words were about that holy building which was his body.

22 So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

24 But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.

25 He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.
