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.
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.
