John 2

HNV

MSG

1 The third day, there was a marriage in Kanah of the Galil. Yeshua' mother was there.
1 Three days later there was a wedding in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there.
2 Yeshua also was invited, with his talmidim, to the marriage.
2 Jesus and his disciples were guests also.
3 When the wine ran out, Yeshua' mother said to him, "They have no wine."
3 When they started running low on wine at the wedding banquet, Jesus' mother told him, "They're just about out of wine."
4 Yeshua said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come."
4 Jesus said, "Is that any of our business, Mother - yours or mine? This isn't my time. Don't push me."
5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
5 She went ahead anyway, telling the servants, "Whatever he tells you, do it."
6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Yehudim' manner of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
6 Six stoneware water pots were there, used by the Jews for ritual washings. Each held twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Yeshua said to them, "Fill the water pots with water." They filled them up to the brim.
7 Jesus ordered the servants, "Fill the pots with water." And they filled them to the brim.
8 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." They took it.
8 "Now fill your pitchers and take them to the host," Jesus said, and they did.
9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn't know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,
9 When the host tasted the water that had become wine (he didn't know what had just happened but the servants, of course, knew), he called out to the bridegroom,
10 and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!"
10 "Everybody I know begins with their finest wines and after the guests have had their fill brings in the cheap stuff. But you've saved the best till now!"
11 This beginning of his signs Yeshua did in Kanah of the Galil, and revealed his glory; and his talmidim believed in him.
11 This act in Cana of Galilee was the first sign Jesus gave, the first glimpse of his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
12 After this, he went down to Kafar-Nachum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his talmidim; and there they stayed not many days.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum along with his mother, brothers, and disciples, and stayed several days.
13 The Pesach of the Yehudim was at hand, and Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim.
13 When the Passover Feast, celebrated each spring by the Jews, was about to take place, Jesus traveled up to Jerusalem.
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
14 He found the Temple teeming with people selling cattle and sheep and doves. The loan sharks were also there in full strength.
15 He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables.
15 Jesus put together a whip out of strips of leather and chased them out of the Temple, stampeding the sheep and cattle, upending the tables of the loan sharks, spilling coins left and right.
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!"
16 He told the dove merchants, "Get your things out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a shopping mall!"
17 His talmidim remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will eat me up."
17 That's when his disciples remembered the Scripture, "Zeal for your house consumes me."
18 The Yehudim therefore answered him, "What sign do you show to us, seeing that you do these things?"
18 But the Jews were upset. They asked, "What credentials can you present to justify this?"
19 Yeshua answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
19 Jesus answered, "Tear down this Temple and in three days I'll put it back together."
20 The Yehudim therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?"
20 They were indignant: "It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?"
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
21 But Jesus was talking about his body as the Temple.
22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his talmidim remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Yeshua had said.
22 Later, after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this. They then put two and two together and believed both what was written in Scripture and what Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was in Yerushalayim at the Pesach, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
23 During the time he was in Jerusalem, those days of the Passover Feast, many people noticed the signs he was displaying and, seeing they pointed straight to God, entrusted their lives to him.
24 But Yeshua didn't trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
24 But Jesus didn't entrust his life to them. He knew them inside and out, knew how untrustworthy they were.
25 and because he didn't need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
25 He didn't need any help in seeing right through them.
