78 EARLY WISDOM GOSPELS
When the master of the feast tasted the water become wine, not knowing
where it came from—though the servants knew, those who had drawn the
water—he called the bridegroom and said to him, "Everybody serves the good
wine first, and when the guests are drunk brings out the inferior kind. You
have been saving the good wine till now."
Yeshua did this, the first of his miraculous signs in Kana in Galil, and he re-
vealed his glory, and his students believed in him.DAYS IN KEFAR-NAHUM WITH
FAMILY AND STUDENTSAfter this he went down to Kefar-Nahum^27 with his mother and brothers and
students. They stayed there for a few days.DRIVING VENDORS FROM THE TEMPLE
It was almost Pesach^28 of the Jews and Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim. In the
temple he found the people selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the coin
changers sitting there. He made a whip out of ropes and drove out all the ani-
mals, the sheep and the oxen. He also scattered the coins of the changers and
knocked over their tables. To the dove sellers he said,
"Get these things out of here!
Do not make the house of my father
a house of business!"
His students remembered how it is written,
"Zeal for your house will consume me."^29
Then the Jews said to him, "What sign can you show us for doing this?"
Yeshua answered,
"Destroy this temple
and in three days I shall raise it up."
Then the Jews said, "This temple was built over forty-six years, and you will
raise it up in three days?"- Capernaum.
