No, one need not do that, since the 2nd chapter of John clearly sets out the relationship of the days from the wedding, through his short stay in Capernaum, and the subsequent trip to Jerusalem for the Passover. None of these events are recorded in the other gospels, so your aimless wandering in Luke offers no help to your vapid position.
Your dates are also way off, and there is no excuse for that in this day of computers and information.
Yeshua was born on the High Sabbath of Succot, in the 15th day of the 7th month (Sept 26, 3 BC by the Julian)
He was circumcised on the High Sabbath of The Last Great Day, 22nd day, 7th month (Oct 3, 3 BC by the Julian)
He was baptised on the Sabbath, 20th day, 11th month (Feb 16, 27 AD by the Julian)
His ministry was exactly 70 weeks long (affirming prophecy) ending at Shavuot on the 8th day, 3rd month (June 20, 28 AD by the Julian.
So much for your smoke screen!
You do need much education, yes scripture strongly confirms the time of the Cana wedding as a week before Passover.
Something is wrong here. Tiberius took up the throne when his father Augustus died on August 19, 14 AD. Luke's writings were set forth in order, and Jesus was baptised in the fifteenth year of Tiberius' reign. That would be after August 19, 29 AD to August 16, 30 AD.
Where did your numbers come from?
Luke is important here, is he not?
