⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.

⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael and tells him, “We’ve found the One that Moses in the Torah, and also the prophets, wrote about—Yeshua of Natzeret, the son of Joseph!”

⁴⁶ “Natzeret!” Nathanael answered. “Can anything good come from there?”

Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

⁴⁷ Yeshua saw Nathanael coming toward Him. He said, “Look, a true Israelite! There’s nothing false in him.”

⁴⁸ Nathanael said to Him, “How do you know me?”

Yeshua answered, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

⁴⁹ “Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are Ben-Elohim! You are the King of Israel!”^[a]

⁵⁰ “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe?” Yeshua replied to him. “You will see greater things than that!” ⁵¹ And He said, “Amen, amen I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man!”^[b]

Water to Wine

2 On the third day, there was a wedding at Cana in the Galilee. Yeshua’s mother was there, ² and Yeshua and His disciples were also invited to the wedding. ³ When the wine ran out, Yeshua’s mother said to Him, “They don’t have any wine!”

⁴ Yeshua said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with you and Me? My hour hasn’t come yet.”

⁵ His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

⁶ Now there were six stone jars, used for the Jewish ritual of purification, each holding two to three measures. ^{[a] 7} Yeshua said to them, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled them up to the top. ⁸ Then He said to them, “Take some water out, and give it to the headwaiter.” And they brought it.

⁹ Now the headwaiter did not know where it had come from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. As the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, he calls the bridegroom ¹⁰ and says to him, “Everyone brings out the good wine first, and whenever they are drunk, then the worse. But you’ve reserved the good wine until now!” ¹¹ Yeshua did this, the first of the signs, in Cana of the Galilee—He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

Yeshua Purges the Temple

¹² After this Yeshua went down to Capernaum with His mother, brothers,^[b] and disciples, and they stayed there a few days. ¹³ The Jewish feast of Passover was near, so Yeshua went up to Jerusalem.
