Jesus at a Wedding in Cana
1 Three days later Mary, the mother of Jesus, was at a wedding feast in the village of Cana in Galilee. 2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited and were there.
3 When the wine was all gone, Mary said to Jesus, “They don't have any more wine.”
4 Jesus replied, “Mother, my time hasn't yet come! You must not tell me what to do.”
5 Mary then said to the servants, “Do whatever Jesus tells you to do.”
6 At the feast there were six stone water jars that were used by the people for washing themselves in the way that their religion said they must. Each jar held about 100 liters. 7 Jesus told the servants to fill them to the top with water. Then after the jars had been filled, 8 he said, “Now take some water and give it to the man in charge of the feast.”
The servants did as Jesus told them, 9 and the man in charge drank some of the water that had now turned into wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants did. He called the bridegroom over 10 and said, “The best wine is always served first. Then after the guests have had plenty, the other wine is served. But you have kept the best until last!”
11 This was Jesus' first miracle, and he did it in the village of Cana in Galilee. There Jesus showed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. 12 After this, he went with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples to the town of Capernaum, where they stayed for a few days.
Jesus in the Temple
(Matthew 21.12Matthew 13Mark 11.15-17Luke 19.45Luke 46)13 Not long before the Jewish festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 There he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves in the temple. He also saw moneychangers sitting at their tables. 15 So he took some rope and made a whip. Then he chased everyone out of the temple, together with their sheep and cattle. He turned over the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins.
16 Jesus said to the people who had been selling doves, “Get those doves out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace.”
17 The disciples then remembered that the Scriptures say, “My love for your house burns in me like a fire.”
18 The Jewish leaders asked Jesus, “What miracle will you work to show us why you have done this?”
19 “Destroy this temple,” Jesus answered, “and in three days I will build it again!”
20 The leaders replied, “It took 46 years to build this temple. What makes you think you can rebuild it in three days?”
21 But Jesus was talking about his body as a temple. 22 And when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered what he had told them. Then they believed the Scriptures and the words of Jesus.
Jesus Knows What People Are Like
23 In Jerusalem during Passover many people put their faith in Jesus, because they saw him work miracles. 24 But Jesus knew what was in their hearts, and he would not let them have power over him. 25 No one had to tell him what people were like. He already knew.
1 Trešajā dienā bija kāzas Kānā Galilejā, un Jēzus māte bija tur. 2 Bet arī Jēzus un Viņa mācekļi bija aicināti kāzās. 3 Kad nu pietrūka vīna, Jēzus māte saka Viņam: "Viņiem nav vīna." 4 Jēzus saka tai: "Kas Man ar tevi, sieva? Mana stunda vēl nav nākusi." 5 Viņa māte saka sulaiņiem: "Ko Viņš jums teiks, to darait!" 6 Bet tur stāvēja seši akmens ūdenstrauki pēc jūdu šķīstīšanās paražas, un katrā no tiem sagāja divi līdz trīs mēri. 7 Jēzus saka viņiem: "Piepildait traukus ar ūdeni!" Un tie tos piepildīja līdz malai. 8 Tad Viņš saka tiem: "Tagad smeliet un nesiet galda uzraugam!" Un tie to aiznesa. 9 Kad nu galda uzraugs bija nobaudījis ūdeni, kas bija kļuvis par vīnu, nezinādams, no kurienes tas ir, kamēr sulaiņi, kas ūdeni bija smēluši, to zināja, - tad galda uzraugs aicina līgavaini 10 un viņam saka: "Ikviens cilvēks papriekš ceļ priekšā labo vīnu, un, kad viesi ieskurbuši, mazāk vērtīgo, bet tu labo vīnu esi pataupījis līdz šim." 11 Šī ir pirmā zīme, ko Jēzus darīja Kānā Galilejā, atklādams Savu godību, un Viņa mācekļi sāka Viņam ticēt. 12 Pēc tam Viņš nogāja Kapernaumā, Viņš, Viņa māte, brāļi un Viņa mācekļi, un tur palika nedaudz dienu. 13 Kad jūdu Pashā bija tuvu, Jēzus aizgāja uz Jeruzālemi. 14 Tur Viņš atrada Templī vēršu, aitu un baložu pārdevējus un naudas mijējus sēžam. 15 Un, iztaisījis pātagu no auklām, Viņš visus izdzina no Tempļa, aitas un vēršus, un izkaisīja mijējiem naudu un apgāza galdus, 16 un baložu pārdevējiem Viņš sacīja: "Nesiet to projām! Nepadarait Mana Tēva namu par tirgus namu!" 17 Tad Viņa mācekļi pieminēja, ka ir rakstīts: karstums Tava nama dēļ Mani aprij.- 18 Bet jūdi uzstājās un sacīja: "Kādu zīmi Tu mums rādīsi, ka Tu to drīksti darīt?" 19 Jēzus atbildēja: "Noplēsiet šo Templi, un Es to trijās dienās atkal uzcelšu." 20 Tad jūdi sacīja: "Četrdesmit sešus gadus šis Templis ir taisīts, un Tu to gribi uzcelt trijās dienās?" 21 Bet Viņš runāja par Savas miesas templi. 22 Kad nu Viņš bija uzcēlies no miroņiem, Viņa mācekļi atcerējās, ka Viņš to bija sacījis, un sāka ticēt rakstiem un vārdam, ko Jēzus bija runājis. 23 Viņam Pashā svētkos Jeruzālemē esot, daudzi sāka ticēt Viņa Vārdam, redzēdami zīmes, ko Viņš darīja. 24 Bet Jēzus pats viņiem neuzticējās, tāpēc ka Viņš visus pazina. 25 Jo Viņam nevajadzēja, lai kāds liecību dotu par cilvēku, bet Viņš pats zināja, kas bija cilvēkā.
