John Chapter 2

John 2

Jesus knew it, when His Mother shew that she has Faith in Him, and He changed ablution-water to drinkable wine

1. There happens to be a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and on the third day, the mother of Jesus was there.

2. Even JESUS and His disciples were also invited, into the marriage.

3. And as wine was deficient, the mother of Jesus says to Him, (they) have no wine.

4. And Jesus says to her, woman/house-wife, why you and I have come here? Certainly (no-gainsay), it is My hour.

5. His mother tells the attendants, do anything which He will possibly tells you.

6. There are also six stony water-jars there, according to the purification (ablution) of the Jews, laid outstretched, having space for two or three standard measurers each. 

7 Jesus tells them, fill the entire water-pot with water. And they fill them up to the top. 

8. And He tells them, now, draw out and carry to the chief of the feast. So, they carry it.

9. And, as the Chief of the feast tasted the water that become wine, and was not aware from where it is, but the attendants who draw out the water are aware; the chief of the feast call the bridegroom;

10. and say to him, a man would first of all, set forth a beautiful wine to all the people, and when they got drunk, then the less in quality. But you have reserved the beautiful wine until the present.

11. This miracle by Jesus was done in the early stage, in Cana of Galilee, and it makes His glory to manifest/be obvious, and His disciples have Faith unto Him.

Jesus drives out traders in the temple during the First Passover of His three years ministry;

@ both Capernaum and Jerusalem

12. In the midst of these, He goes down unto Capernaum with His mother and brethren, and His disciples, but He did not stay there for many days.

13. And as the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus goes up unto Jerusalem.

14 And He finds those who are trading oxen and sheep and doves/pigeon, and money brokers, sitting-by, in the temple.

15 And He makes a whip from cords, and cast all the sheep and oxen out of the temple, in addition, He turns the tables of the coins-bank (collybystis) upside-down and pour out their coins.

16. And speaking to those trading/selling pigeons, take these things right away from here; never make the House of My FATHER a commerce-house.

17. and His disciples remembered, that it is written: the zeal of Your house has eaten me up. (Ps 69:9)

18. Then, the Jews respond and ask Him, what sign will You show us, for doing these things?

19. Jesus responds and tells them; break down this temple, and in three days, it will be raised up.

20. Then the Jews says, we constructed this temple for forty-six years, and will You raise it up in three days?

21. Moreover, on that one, He speaks about the temple of His body.

22. Therefore, when He is raised up out of the dead, His disciples remembered that He has said this, and believe the scriptures and the words which Jesus had spoken.

23. So, as He was in Jerusalem, in the Passover; very many people have Faith unto His Name (authority), having seen the wonders He has done in the feast-holy-day. 

24. But, Jesus absolutely knows, those who are for Him, and everybody do not have Faith unto Him through the same thing. 

25 for He does not even have need of certain men, at least, to testify concerning Him, because, He knows why He has been among men.
