From Water to Wine
2 1-3 Three days later there was a wedding in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there. Jesus and his disciples were guests also. When they started running low on wine at the wedding banquet, Jesus’ mother told him, “They’re just about out of wine.”
4 Jesus said, “Is that any of our business, Mother—yours or mine? This isn’t my time. Don’t push me.”
5 She went ahead anyway, telling the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.”
6-7 Six stoneware water pots were there, used by the Jews for ritual washings. Each held twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus ordered the servants, “Fill the pots with water.” And they filled them to the brim.
8 “Now fill your pitchers and take them to the host,” Jesus said, and they did.
9-10 When the host tasted the water that had become wine (he didn’t know what had just happened but the servants, of course, knew), he called out to the bridegroom, “Everybody I know begins with their finest wines and after the guests have had their fill brings in the cheap stuff. But you’ve saved the best till now!”
11 This act in Cana of Galilee was the first sign Jesus gave, the first glimpse of his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum along with his mother, brothers, and disciples, and stayed several days.
Tear Down This Temple . . .
13-14 When the Passover Feast, celebrated each spring by the Jews, was about to take place, Jesus traveled up to Jerusalem. He found the Temple teeming with people selling cattle and sheep and doves. The loan sharks were also there in full strength.
15-17 Jesus put together a whip out of strips of leather and chased them out of the Temple, stampeding the sheep and cattle, upending the tables of the loan sharks, spilling coins left and right. He told the dove merchants, “Get your things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a shopping mall!” That’s when his disciples remembered the Scripture, “Zeal for your house consumes me.”
18-19 But the Jews were upset. They asked, “What credentials can you present to justify this?” Jesus answered, “Tear down this Temple and in three days I’ll put it back together.”
20-22 They were indignant: “It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you’re going to rebuild it in three days?” But Jesus was talking about his body as the Temple. Later, after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this. They then put two and two together and believed both what was written in Scripture and what Jesus had said.
23-25 During the time he was in Jerusalem, those days of the Passover Feast, many people noticed the signs he was displaying and, seeing they pointed straight to God, entrusted their lives to him. But Jesus didn’t entrust his life to them. He knew them inside and out, knew how untrustworthy they were. He didn’t need any help in seeing right through them.

Иисус превращает воду в вино
2 На третий день в Кане, в Галилее, был свадебный пир, и мать Иисуса была там. 2 Иисус и Его ученики тоже были приглашены на свадьбу. 3 Случилось так, что во время пира кончилось вино, и мать Иисуса тогда сказала Ему:
– У них нет вина.
4 Иисус ответил:
– О, женщина[a], почему Я должен заботиться об этом? Мое время еще не настало.
5 Мать Иисуса сказала слугам:
– Делайте то, что Он вам скажет.
6 Рядом стояло шесть больших каменных сосудов, которые иудеи использовали для обрядовых омовений. В каждый сосуд вмещалось по две или по три меры[b]. 7 Иисус сказал слугам:
– Наполните сосуды водой.
Те наполнили их водой до верха.
8 – А теперь зачерпните, – сказал Он, – и отнесите распорядителю пира.
Они так и сделали. 9 Тот попробовал воду, ставшую вином. Он не знал, откуда взялось вино, об этом знали только слуги. Распорядитель отозвал в сторону жениха 10 и упрекнул его:
– Все подают вначале вино получше, а потом, когда гости напьются, подают вино похуже. А ты сберегал лучшее вино до сих пор.
11 Так Иисус положил начало знамениям в Кане Галилейской и явил Свою славу; и Его ученики уверовали в Него.
12 После этого Иисус вместе с матерью, братьями и учениками пошел в Капернаум, и там они пробыли несколько дней.
Иисус прогоняет торговцев со двора храма(A)
13 Приближалось время иудейской Пасхи, и Иисус пошел в Иерусалим. 14 В храме Он увидел людей, продававших быков, овец и голубей; у столов сидели те, кто менял деньги. 15 Сделав из веревок плеть, Он выгнал из храма всех торговцев, а также овец и быков. Он опрокинул столы менял, рассыпав их монеты.
16 – Уберите это отсюда! – говорил Он продавцам голубей. – Как вы смеете превращать дом Моего Отца в базар!
17 Его ученики вспомнили записанное в Писании: «Ревность о доме Твоем снедает Меня»[c]. 18 Тогда иудеи спросили у Него:
– Каким знамением Ты можешь доказать нам, что Ты имеешь право все это делать?
19 Иисус ответил им:
– Разрушьте этот храм, и Я в три дня восстановлю его.
20 Иудеи ответили:
– Этот храм строился сорок шесть лет, а Ты собираешься восстановить его в три дня?
21 Но Иисус имел в виду не здание храма, а Свое тело. 22 После того как Иисус воскрес из мертвых, ученики вспомнили Его слова и поверили Писанию и словам Иисуса.
23 Пока Иисус был в Иерусалиме на празднике Пасхи, многие, видя знамения, которые Он творил, поверили в Него. 24 Но Сам Иисус не доверялся им, потому что Он знал всех, 25 и Ему не нужно было знать о человеке по рассказам других, так как Он видел, что у каждого на душе.

Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.(A) Jesus’ mother(B) was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman,[a](C) why do you involve me?”(D) Jesus replied. “My hour(E) has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”(F)
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing,(G) each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 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)
