7. יהושע said to them, “Fill the water-jugs with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
8. And He said to them, “Now draw out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it.
9. But when the master of the feast had tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from – though the servants who had drawn the water knew – the master of the feast called the bridegroom,
10. and said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when they have drunk, then that which is poorer. You have kept the good wine until now.”
11. This, the beginning of the signs, יהושע did in Qanah of Galil, and manifested His esteem. And His taught ones believed in Him.
12. After this He went down to Kephar Naḥum, He and His mother, and His brothers, and His taught ones. And there they stayed not many days.
13. And the Passover of the Yehuḏim was near, and יהושע went up to Yerushalayim.
14. And He found in the Set-apart Place those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting.
15. And having made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the Set-apart Place, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the moneychangers’ coins and overturned the tables.
16. And He said to those selling doves, “Take these away! Do not make the house of My Father a house of merchandise!”
17. And His taught ones remembered that it was written, “The ardour for Your house has eaten Me up.”
18. And the Yehuḏim answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You are doing these?”
19. יהושע answered and said to them, “Destroy this Dwelling Place, and in three days I shall raise it.”
