OrthJBC - John - 2

2:1  On Yom HaShelishi, there was a Chassuna (Wedding Feast) in Kanah in the Galil; and the Em (Mother) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was there.

2:2  He and his talmidim were also invited to the chassuna (Wedding Feast).

2:3  And when yayin (wine) was lacking, the Em (Mother) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, "They do not have yayin."

2:4  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to her, "Mah lanu valach, Isha? [Bereshis 3:15] My sha'ah (hour, time) has not yet come." [See Mattityahu 26:18,28]

2:5  The Em (Mother) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to the mesharetim, "Asher yomar lakhem ta'asu (Do whatever he tells you)." [Bereshis 41:55]

2:6  Now there were shesh (six) stone water jars lying there. These were for the Jewish tohorot, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.

2:7  Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them. "Fill with mayim." And they filled them up to the top.

2:8  And he says to them, "Draw now and bring to the Rosh of the Mesibba (reception, feast)." And they brought it.

2:9  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 Chosson (Bridegroom).

2:10  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." THE TALMIDIM AND BECOMING MEKABEL REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH, ACCEPTANCE OF YEHOSHUA AS REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH B'VADAY (DEFINITE REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH) [SHEMOT 14:31; YESHAYAH 8:23 (9:1)]

2:11  This was the reshit (beginning) of the otot (miraculous signs) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach accomplished in Kana of the Galil and he manifested the kavod (kavod) of him, v'ya'aminu bo (and they put their faith in him) [Shemot 14:31]. REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S FIRST STAY IN K'FAR-NACHUM

2:12  After this he went down to K'far-Nachum and the Em (Mother) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and the achim and the talmidim of Rebbe, and there they remained not many yamim (days). FIRST PESACH AND CLEANSING OF THE BEIS HAMIKDASH BY REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH; MOSHIACH'S PREDICTION OF HIS OWN TECHIYAS HAMESIM AFTER HIS OWN CHURBAN

2:13  And Pesach was fast approaching, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to Yerushalayim [Devarim 16:1-6].

2:14  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].

2:15  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).

2:16  And to the ones selling doves, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "Take these things from here. Do not make the bais Avi a bais hasokhareem (house of merchants)." [Zecharyah 14:21]

2:17  The talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach remembered that it had been written, "KINAT BETECHA AKHALATNI" (The zeal for the your bais will devour me" [TEHILLIM 69:9].

2:18  In reply, those of Yehudah then said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, "What ot (miraculous sign) do you show us for these things you do?"

2:19  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."

2:20  Those of Yehudah then said, "In forty and six years this heikhal was built and you in shloshah yamim will raise it?"

2:21  But that one was speaking about the heikhal of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach's geviyah. [Bereshis 47:18; Tehillim 16:9-10; Iyov 19:25-27; Yeshayah 53:10-11]

2:22  Therefore, when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach underwent the Techiyas Hamesim (Resurrection of the Dead), 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.

2:23  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. REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH HAS DA'AS OF KOL BNEI ADAM

2:24  But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was not entrusting himself to them, because he had da'as of kol Bnei Adam.

2:25  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 [Devarim 31:21; Melachim Alef 8:39]. REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH AND RAV NAKDIMON; AN ALLUSION IS MADE TO THE TEVILAH OF TESHUVAH OF YOCHANAN AND THE HITKHADESHUT (REGENERATION) OF THE TRUE DA'AS OF HASHEM NECESSARY FOR SPIRITUAL SIGHT AND ENTRANCE INTO THE MALCHUT HASHEM; RAV NAKDIMON, REPRESENTS ALL THE RABBONIM OF THE WORLD (MANY OF THE YOU'S ADDRESSED TO HIM ARE PLURAL, MEANING "YOU RABBIS"); ORTHODOX BIBLICAL JUDAISM, BRIT CHADASHA JUDAISM, DOES NOT ASK RABBONIM TO STOP BEING RABBONIM, ONLY TO STOP BEING UNREGENERATE RABBONIM WITHOUT HITKHADESHUT (SEE I TIMOTIYOS, II TIMOTIYOS, TITOS, ACTS CHAPTERS 15 AND 21)
