The Wedding at Cana
2 And on (A)the third day there was a wedding in (B)Cana of Galilee, and the (C)mother of Jesus was there; 2 and both Jesus and His (D)disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus *said to her, “(E)Woman, [a](F)what do I have to do with you? (G)My hour has not yet come.” 5 His (H)mother *said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” 6 Now there were six stone water jars set there (I)for the Jewish custom of purification, containing [b]two or three measures each. 7 Jesus *said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it to him. 9 Now when the headwaiter tasted the water (J)which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the bridegroom, 10 and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people (K)have [c]drunk freely, then the inferior wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 Jesus did this in Cana of (L)Galilee as the beginning of His [d](M)signs, and manifested His (N)glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12 After this He went down to (O)Capernaum, He and His (P)mother and His (Q)brothers and His (R)disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
13 (S)And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus (T)went up to Jerusalem. 14 (U)And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 and to those who were selling (V)the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making (W)My Father’s house a [e]place of business.” 17 His (X)disciples remembered that it was written, “(Y)Zeal for Your house will consume me.” 18 (Z)The Jews then said to Him, “(AA)What sign do You show us [f]as your authority for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, “(AB)Destroy this [g]sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 (AC)The Jews then said, “It took (AD)forty-six years to build this sanctuary, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking about (AE)the sanctuary of His body. 22 So when He was raised from the dead, His (AF)disciples (AG)remembered that He said this; and they believed (AH)the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at (AI)the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, (AJ)when they saw His signs which He was doing. 24 But Jesus, [h]on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for (AK)He knew all men, 25 and because He had no need that anyone bear witness concerning man, (AL)for He Himself knew what was in man.

Yochanan 2
Orthodox Jewish Bible
2 On Yom HaShelishi, there was a Chasunoh (Wedding Feast) in Kanah in the Galil; and the Em (Mother) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was there.
2 He and his talmidim were also invited to the Chasunoh (Wedding Feast).
3 And when yayin (wine) was lacking, the Em of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, They do not have yayin.
4 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to her, Mah lanu valach, Isha? [BERESHIS 3:15] My sha’ah (hour, time) has not yet come. [Mt 26:18, 27-28]
5 The Em of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to the mesharetim, Asher yomar lakhem ta’asu (Do whatever he tells you). [BERESHIS 41:55]
6 Now there were shesh (six) stone water jars lying there. These were for the Jewish tohorot, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Fill with mayim. And they filled them up to the top.
8 And he says to them, Draw now and bring to the Rosh HaMesibba (Head of the Reception, Feast). And they brought it.
9 And when the Rosh HaMesibba tasted the mayim having become yayin, and when he did not have da’as of where it came from‖but the mesharetim had da’as, the ones having drawn the water‖the Rosh HaMesibba summoned the Choson (Bridegroom).
10 And the Rosh HaMesibba says to him, Everyone sets out the yayin hatov first, and when they have become drunk, he sets out the inferior; you have kept the yayin hatov until now.
11 This was the reshit (beginning) of the otot (miraculous signs) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach accomplished in Kana of the Galil, and he manifested the kavod (glory) of him, v’ya’aminu bo (and they put their faith in him) [SHEMOT 14:31].
12 After this he went down to K’far-Nachum and the Em of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and the achim and his talmidim also, and there they remained not many yamim (days).
13 And Pesach was fast approaching, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to Yerushalayim [DEVARIM 16:1-6].
14 And he found in the Beis Hamikdash the ones selling oxen and sheep and doves [VAYIKRA 1:14; DEVARIM 14:26] and the coin-dealers sitting [DEVARIM 14:25].
15 And having made a shot (whip) out of ropes Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach drove all of them out of the Beis Hamikdash, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the machalifei hakesafim (money-changers) and overturned their tishen (tables).
16 And to the ones selling doves, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Take these things from here. Do not make the Bais Avi a bais hasokharim (house of merchants). [ZECHARYAH 14:21]
17 The talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach remembered that it had been written, KINAT BETECHA AKHALATNI (The zeal for Your bais will devour me [TEHILLIM 69:9].
18 In reply, those of Yehudah then said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, What ot (miraculous sign) do you show us for these things you do?
19 In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Bring churban to this heikhal and in shloshah yamim [YONAH 1:17; HOSHEA 6:2] I will raise it.
20 Those of Yehudah then said, In forty and six years this Heikhal was built and you in shloshah yamim will raise it?
21 But that one was speaking about the heikhal of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach’s basar. [Gn 47:18; Ps 16:9-10; Job 19:25-27; Isa 53:10-11]
22 Therefore, when he underwent the Techiyas HaMoshiach (Resurrection of the Moshiach), his talmidim remembered that this he was saying and v’ya’aminu (and they put their faith SHEMOT 14:31) in the Kitvei Hakodesh [TEHILLIM 16:9-10] and the dvar which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said.
23 And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was in Yerushalayim during Pesach at the Chag (Feast), many from Yehudah had emunah (faith) in ha-Shem of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, seeing his otot (miraculous signs) which he was doing.
24 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was not entrusting himself to them, because he had da’as of kol Bnei Adam.
25 And he had no need that anyone should give solemn edut (testimony) about them [YESHAYAH 11:3], for he knew what was in Bnei Adam [Dt 31:21; 1Kg 8:39].

Schlachter 2000
Die Hochzeit von Kana
2 Und am dritten Tag war eine Hochzeit in Kana in Galiläa, und die Mutter Jesu war dort.
2 Aber auch Jesus wurde samt seinen Jüngern zur Hochzeit eingeladen.
3 Und als es an Wein mangelte, spricht die Mutter Jesu zu ihm: Sie haben keinen Wein!
4 Jesus spricht zu ihr: Frau, was habe ich mit dir zu tun?[a] Meine Stunde ist noch nicht gekommen!
5 Seine Mutter spricht zu den Dienern: Was er euch sagt, das tut!
6 Es waren aber dort sechs steinerne Wasserkrüge, nach der Reinigungssitte der Juden, von denen jeder zwei oder drei Eimer[b] fasste.
7 Jesus spricht zu ihnen: Füllt die Krüge mit Wasser! Und sie füllten sie bis obenhin.
8 Und er spricht zu ihnen: Schöpft nun und bringt es dem Speisemeister! Und sie brachten es hin.
9 Als aber der Speisemeister das Wasser, das zu Wein geworden war, gekostet hatte (und er wusste nicht, woher es war; die Diener aber, die das Wasser geschöpft hatten, wussten es), da rief der Speisemeister den Bräutigam
10 und sprach zu ihm: Jedermann setzt zuerst den guten Wein vor, und dann, wenn sie trunken geworden sind, den geringeren; du aber hast den guten Wein bis jetzt behalten!
11 Diesen Anfang der Zeichen machte Jesus in Kana in Galiläa und ließ seine Herrlichkeit offenbar werden, und seine Jünger glaubten an ihn.
12 Danach zog er hinab nach Kapernaum, er und seine Mutter und seine Brüder und seine Jünger, und sie blieben wenige Tage dort.
Die erste Tempelreinigung
13 Und das Passah der Juden war nahe, und Jesus zog hinauf nach Jerusalem.
14 Und er fand im Tempel die Verkäufer von Rindern und Schafen und Tauben und die Wechsler, die dasaßen.
15 Und er machte eine Geißel aus Stricken und trieb sie alle zum Tempel hinaus, samt den Schafen und Rindern, und den Wechslern verschüttete er das Geld und stieß die Tische um;
16 und zu den Taubenverkäufern sprach er: Schafft das weg von hier! Macht nicht das Haus meines Vaters zu einem Kaufhaus!
17 Seine Jünger dachten aber daran, dass geschrieben steht: »Der Eifer um dein Haus hat mich verzehrt«.[c]
18 Da antworteten die Juden und sprachen zu ihm: Was für ein Zeichen zeigst du uns, dass du dies tun darfst?[d]
19 Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Brecht diesen Tempel ab, und in drei Tagen will ich ihn aufrichten!
20 Da sprachen die Juden: In 46 Jahren ist dieser Tempel erbaut worden, und du willst ihn in drei Tagen aufrichten?
21 Er aber redete von dem Tempel seines Leibes.
22 Als er nun aus den Toten auferstanden war, dachten seine Jünger daran, dass er ihnen dies gesagt hatte, und sie glaubten der Schrift und dem Wort, das Jesus gesprochen hatte.
23 Als er aber am Passahfest in Jerusalem war, glaubten viele an seinen Namen, weil sie seine Zeichen sahen, die er tat.
24 Jesus selbst aber vertraute sich ihnen nicht an, weil er alle kannte,
25 und weil er es nicht nötig hatte, dass jemand von dem Menschen Zeugnis gab; denn er wusste selbst, was im Menschen war.
