Jesus

Then Yochanan gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and remaining on him.

I myself did not know who he was, but the one who sent me to immerse in water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is the one who immerses in the Ruach HaKodesh.’

And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.”

On seeing Yeshua walking by, he said, “Look! God’s lamb!”

His two talmidim heard him speaking, and they followed Yeshua.

Yeshua turned and saw them following him, and he asked them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi!” (which means “Teacher!”) “Where are you staying?”

He said to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and remained with him the rest of the day — it was about four o’clock in the afternoon.

One of the two who had heard Yochanan and had followed Yeshua was Andrew the brother of Shim‘on Kefa.

The first thing he did was to find his brother Shim‘on and tell him, “We’ve found the Mashiach!” (The word means “one who has been anointed.”)

He took him to Yeshua. Looking at him, Yeshua said, “You are Shim‘on Bar-Yochanan; you will be known as Kefa.” (The name means “rock.”)

The next day, having decided to leave for the Galil, Yeshua found Philip and said, “Follow me!”

Philip found Natan’el and told him, “We’ve found the one that Moshe wrote about in the Torah, also the Prophets — it’s Yeshua Ben-Yosef from Natzeret!”

Yeshua saw Natan’el coming toward him and remarked about him, “Here’s a true son of Isra’el — nothing false in him!”

Natan’el said to him, “How do you know me?” Yeshua answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

Natan’el said, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Isra’el!”

Yeshua answered him, “you believe all this just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than that!”

Then he said to him, “Yes indeed! I tell you that you will see heaven opened and the angels of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man!”

On Tuesday there was a wedding at Kanah in the Galil; and the mother of Yeshua was there.

Yeshua too was invited to the wedding, along with his talmidim.

The wine ran out, and Yeshua’s mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

Yeshua replied, “Mother, why should that concern me? — or you? My time hasn’t come yet.”

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

Yeshua told them, “Fill the jars with water,” and they filled them to the brim.

He said, “Now draw some out, and take it to the man in charge of the banquet”; and they took it.

This, the first of Yeshua’s miraculous signs, he did at Kanah in the Galil; he manifested his glory, and his talmidim came to trust in him.
