The Wedding in Cana
1 Two days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine had given out, Jesus' mother said to him, “They are out of wine.”
4 “You must not tell me what to do,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
5 Jesus' mother then told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 The Jews have rules about ritual washing, and for this purpose six stone water jars were there, each one large enough to hold between twenty and thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill these jars with water.” They filled them to the brim, 8 and then he told them, “Now draw some water out and take it to the man in charge of the feast.” They took him the water, 9 which now had turned into wine, and he tasted it. He did not know where this wine had come from (but, of course, the servants who had drawn out the water knew); so he called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone else serves the best wine first, and after the guests have drunk a lot, he serves the ordinary wine. But you have kept the best wine until now!”
11 Jesus performed this first miracle in Cana in Galilee; there he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this, Jesus and his mother, brothers, and disciples went to Capernaum and stayed there a few days.
Jesus Goes to the Temple
(Matthew 21.12Matthew 13Mark 11.15-17Luke 19.45Luke 46)13 It was almost time for the Passover Festival, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 There in the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons, and also the moneychangers sitting at their tables. 15 So he made a whip from cords and drove all the animals out of the Temple, both the sheep and the cattle; he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins; 16 and he ordered those who sold the pigeons, “Take them out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!” 17 His disciples remembered that the scripture says, “My devotion to your house, O God, burns in me like a fire.”
18 The Jewish authorities came back at him with a question, “What miracle can you perform to show us that you have the right to do this?”
19 Jesus answered, “Tear down this Temple, and in three days I will build it again.”
20 “Are you going to build it again in three days?” they asked him. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple!”
21 But the temple Jesus was speaking about was his body. 22 So when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and what Jesus had said.
Jesus' Knowledge of Human Nature
23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem during the Passover Festival, many believed in him as they saw the miracles he performed. 24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew them all. 25 There was no need for anyone to tell him about them, because he himself knew what was in their hearts.
Kāzas Galilejas Kānā
1 Trešajā dienā bija kāzas Galilejas Kānā, un Jēzus māte bija tur. 2 Arī Jēzu un viņa mācekļus uzaicināja uz kāzām. 3 Kad pietrūka vīna, Jēzus māte viņam sacīja: “Tiem nav vīna.” 4 Tad Jēzus viņai atbildēja: “Sieviete, kāda man daļa par to? Mana stunda vēl nav atnākusi.” 5 Viņa māte sacīja kalpotājiem: “Ko vien viņš jums saka, to dariet!” 6 Tur bija nolikti seši akmens trauki ūdenim, pēc jūdu šķīstīšanās paražas, katrs no tiem divi vai trīs mēru tilpumā. 7 Jēzus viņiem sacīja: “Piepildiet traukus ar ūdeni!” Un viņi tos piepildīja līdz pat malai. 8 Tad viņš tiem sacīja: “Tagad smeliet un nesiet mielasta pārraugam.” Un viņi to aiznesa. 9 Kad mielasta pārraugs bija nobaudījis ūdeni, kas bija tapis par vīnu, – viņš nezināja, no kurienes tas ir, bet kalpotāji, kas ūdeni bija smēluši, to zināja, – tad mielasta pārraugs sauc līgavaini 10 un viņam sacīja: “Ikviens cilvēks vispirms liek priekšā labo vīnu, un, kad viesi ieskurbuši, tad sliktāko, bet tu esi pataupījis labo vīnu līdz šim.” 11 Tā Galilejas Kānā Jēzus sāka darīt zīmes, atklādams savu godību, un viņa mācekļi ticēja viņam. 12 Pēc tam viņš nogāja uz Kapernaumu – pats, viņa māte, brāļi un viņa mācekļi – un tur palika nedaudz dienu.
Jēzus izdzen tirgotājus no tempļa
(Mt 21:12–13Mk 11:15–17Lk 19:45–46)13 Tuvojās jūdu Pashas svētki, un Jēzus devās augšup uz Jeruzālemi. 14 Viņš atrada templī vēršu, avju un baložu pārdevējus un naudas mijējus sēžam 15 un, savijis no virvēm pletni, izdzina no tempļa visus, arī avis un vēršus, un izkaisīja mijēju naudu un apgāza galdus. 16 Baložu pārdevējiem viņš sacīja: “Nesiet to visu prom no šejienes! Nepadariet mana Tēva namu par tirgus namu!” 17 Tad viņa mācekļi atcerējās, ka ir rakstīts: “Dedzība par tavu namu mani aprij.” 18 Tad jūdi viņam jautāja: “Kādu zīmi tu vari parādīt, tā rīkodamies?” 19 Jēzus viņiem teica: “Sagraujiet šo templi, un trijās dienās es to atkal uzcelšu!” 20 Tad jūdi sacīja: “Šis templis ir būvēts četrdesmit sešus gadus, un tu to uzcelsi trijās dienās?” 21 Bet Jēzus bija runājis par sava ķermeņa templi. 22 Tad, kad viņš bija uzcēlies no mirušajiem, viņa mācekļi atcerējās, ka viņš tā bija runājis, un sāka ticēt Rakstiem un vārdam, ko Jēzus bija sacījis.
Jēzus pazīst cilvēkus
23 Bet viņam Jeruzālemē esot, Pashas svētkos, daudzi sāka ticēt viņa vārdam, redzēdami zīmes, ko viņš darīja. 24 Taču Jēzus pats viņiem neuzticējās, tādēļ ka viņš visus pazina, 25 jo viņam arī nevajadzēja, lai kāds liecinātu par cilvēku, viņš pats zināja, kas ir cilvēkā.
