カナ町での結婚式

それから3日目にイエスの母は、ガリラヤ地方のカナ町で開かれた結婚式に参加していた。 イエスとその弟子も共に招かれた。 しかし、その結婚式には十分な量のワインがなかったので、イエスの母はイエスにこう言った。「ワインがもう切れちゃったらしいの・・・」

イエスは答えた。「お母さん、なんで俺に言うの?その時はまだ俺には来ていないんだ」

母は召使いたちにこう言った。「彼の言う通りにして」

そこには、ユダヤ人が清めの儀式に使う大きな水瓶みずがめが6つほど置いてあった。水瓶みずがめはそれぞれ、およそ80L~120Lほどの水を入れることができる大きさだった。

イエスは召使いたちに言った。「水瓶みずがめを水でいっぱいにするんだ」イエスの申し付け通り、召使いたちは水瓶みずがめを水でいっぱいにした。

それからイエスは彼らに言った。「では、それをんで幹事のもとへ持って行くんだ」

彼らはイエスの申し付け通りにした。 幹事がそれを味見すると水がワインに変わっていた!もちろん、幹事はそのワインがどこから来たのかを知らなかったが、水を持ってきた召使いたちは誰がそれを用意したのかを知っていた。幹事はすぐさま花婿はなむこを呼んで、 10 彼にこう言った。「誰もが最初は良いワインを出しておいて、客が酔って味が分からなくなった頃に安いワインを出すもんだが、まさか最上級のワインを最後までとっておいたとは!」

11 これは、イエスが最初に行った奇跡だった。この奇跡はガリラヤ地方のカナの町で行われた。これによって、イエスの素晴らしい偉大さがおおやけとなった。また、これを目の当たりにした弟子たちはイエスを信じた。

12 その後、イエスはカペナウムの町へ向かった。イエスの母、兄弟たち、そして弟子たちも一緒だった。彼らはそこに数日間滞在した。

神殿の敷地内をきれいにするイエス

マタイ21:12-13; マルコ11:15-17; ルカ19:45-46

13 ユダヤ人の過越祭すぎこしさいの時が訪れたので、イエスはみやこエルサレムに向かった。 14 神殿の敷地内に入ると、そこでイエスが見たのは、牛や羊、ハトを売る商人、机に座って両替をする両替人たちだった。 15 イエスは縄でムチを作ると、パチンッ!そのムチで牛や羊たちをその場から追い出すではないか!そして、両替人の前まで行くと彼らの机を勢いよくひっくり返した。あたりは騒然・・・一面にお金がき散らされた・・・ 16 そして、イエスはハト売りに言った。「それをとっとと持ってここから出て行け!お父さんの家を商売の場にするな!」

17 この光景を見ていた弟子たちの頭に聖書箇所がよぎった。「♪あなたの神殿への愛が、わたしを打ち砕く!」

18 あるユダヤ人がイエスに言った。「こんなことをする権利があなたにあると言うのなら、神からの奇跡を起こして証明しなさい!」

19 イエスは答えた。「この神殿を壊してみろ、3日で建て直してやろう!」

20 彼らは答えた。「3日?この神殿を建てるのには46年もかかっているのだぞ!それを3日で建てられるだなんて・・・ほんとうにできると思っているのか?」

21 だが、イエスが「この神殿」と言った時、彼は自分の体について言っていたのだ。 22 イエスが死から復活したあと、弟子たちはこの時の発言を思い出し、聖書とイエスのことばをより一層固く信じたのだった。

イエスとニコデモ

23 イエスが神殿のみやこエルサレムを訪れたのは、過越祭すぎこしさいに参加するためだったが、そこにいる間に起こした奇跡を見て、大勢の人がイエスを信じたのだった。 24 しかし、イエスは全ての人たちの考え方を知っていたため、彼らを信用することはなかった。 25 イエスにとって、誰がどんな人だったのか、そのことを誰かから教えてもらう必要はなかった。彼はすでに知っていたのだ。

The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there. Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding. When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”

Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”

His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”

Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes[a] apiece. Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it. When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!” 11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting. 15 He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables. 16 To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”(A)

18 The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

20 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?” 21 But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did. 24 But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone, 25 and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

Jesus Changes Water Into Wine

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.(A) Jesus’ mother(B) was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

“Woman,[a](C) why do you involve me?”(D) Jesus replied. “My hour(E) has not yet come.”

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”(F)

Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing,(G) each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]

Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”

They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.(H) He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs(I) through which he revealed his glory;(J) and his disciples believed in him.(K)

12 After this he went down to Capernaum(L) with his mother(M) and brothers(N) and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.

Jesus Clears the Temple Courts(O)

13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,(P) Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(Q) 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves,(R) and others sitting at tables exchanging money.(S) 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house(T) into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”[c](U)

18 The Jews(V) then responded to him, “What sign(W) can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”(X)

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”(Y)

20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.(Z) 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said.(AA) Then they believed the scripture(AB) and the words that Jesus had spoken.

23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(AC) many people saw the signs(AD) he was performing and believed(AE) in his name.[d] 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25 He did not need any testimony about mankind,(AF) for he knew what was in each person.(AG)
