قا نا میں شادی

دو دن بعد گلیل میں شہر قانا میں ایک شادی ہو ئی جہاں یسوع کی ماں تھی۔ یسوع اور اسکے ساتھی بھی شادی میں مدعو کئے گئے تھے۔ شادی کی تقریب میں جب مئے ختم ہو گئی تب یسوع کی ماں نے کہا ، “ان کے پاس مزید مئے نہیں ہے۔”

یسوع نے اس سے کہا، “اے عورت تم یہ نہ کہو کہ مجھے کیا کر نا ہے ؟ میرا وقت ابھی نہیں آیا ہے۔”

یسوع کی ماں نے نوکروں سے کہا ، “تم وہی کرو جو یسوع کرنے کو کہے۔”

اس جگہ چھ پتھر کے بڑے مٹکے رکھے تھے جنہیں یہودی صفائی طہارت کے لئے استعمال کرتے تھے ہر مٹکے میں ۲۰یا ۳۰ گیلن پا نی کی گنجا ئش تھی۔

یسوع نے خدمت گزا روں سے کہا ، “ا ن برتنوں کو پا نی سے بھر دو۔”اور خدمت گاروں نے برتنوں کو پا نی سے لبریز کر دیا۔

یسو ع نے ان خدمت گاروں سے کہا، “اس میں سے تھو ڑا پا نی نکالو اور اس کو دعوت کے میر کے پاس لے جاؤ۔” چنانچہ خدمت گاروں نے پانی کو دعوت کے میر کے پاس پیش کیا۔ اور جب دعوت کے میر نے اس کا مزہ چکھا تو معلوم ہوا کہ پا نی مئے میں تبدیل ہو گیا تھا ان لوگوں نے یہ نہیں جانا کہ مئے کہاں سے آئی لیکن خدمت گار جو پا نی لائے تھے انہیں معلوم تھا کہ مئے کیسے آئی۔ دعوت کے میر نے دولہا کو طلب کیا۔ 10 اور دولہا سے کہا ، “لوگ ہمیشہ پہلے بہترین مئے سے تواضع کرتے ہیں اور جب پی کر سیر ہو جا تے ہیں تب ناقص مئے دیتے ہیں لیکن تم نے عمدہ مئے اب تک بچا رکھی ہے۔”

11 یہ پہلا معجزہ تھا جو یسوع نے کیا۔ اس معجزے کو اس نے گلیل کے شہر قا نا میں کیا اور اسطرح اپنی عظمت کو دکھا یا اور اسکے ساتھی ایمان لا ئے۔

12 تب یسوع اپنی ماں بھائیوں اور شاگردوں کے ساتھ کفر نحوم کو گیا اور وہاں کچھ دن ٹھہرا۔

یسوع کا ہیکل میں جانا

13 یہودیوں کی فسح [a] قریب تھی چنانچہ یسوع یروشلم گئے۔ 14 یسوع یروشلم میں ہیکل گئے وہاں اس نے دیکھا کہ لوگ وہاں مویشی بھیڑ کبوتر فروخت کر رہے ہیں۔ اور دوسرے لوگ میز پر بیٹھے ہو ئے پیسوں کا تبادلہ کر رہے ہیں۔ 15 یسوع نے رسّیوں سے کو ڑا تیار کیا اور لوگوں کو ڈرا کر انہیں اور تمام مویشی بھیڑوں اور کبوتروں کو ہیکل کے باہر کر دیئے اور میز پر بیٹھے لوگوں کے پاس جا کر ان کی میز کو الٹ دیئے اور با ہر کر دیئے اور انکی رقم کو پھیلا دیئے۔ 16 تب یسوع نے ان لوگوں سے کہا جو کبوتر فروخت کر رہے تھے ، “یہ سب کچھ لیکر یہاں سے نکل جاؤ۔ میرے باپ کے گھر کو تجارت کی جگہ نہ بناؤ۔”

17 جب یہ واقعہ پیش آیا تب یسوع کے شاگردوں نے یاد کیا کہ صحیفوں میں جو لکھا ہے:

“تیرے گھر کی غیرت مجھے تباہ کر دیگی” [b]

18 یہودیوں نے یسوع سے کہا، “ہم کو کونسا ایسا معجزہ دکھا ؤ گے جو یہ ثابت کرے کہ تم ایسا کر نے کا حق رکھتے ہو۔”

19 یسوع نے جواب دیا، “اس ہیکل کو تباہ کر دو میں اسکو پھر تین دن میں بنادونگا۔”

20 یہودیوں نے کہا، “لوگوں نے اس ہیکل کو بنانے میں ۴۶ سال لگا ئے ہیں کیا تمہیں یقین ہے کہ دوبارہ اسکو تین دن میں بناؤ گے ؟”

21 لیکن ہیکل کہنے سے یسوع کی مراد اپنا بدن تھا۔ 22 جب وہ مردوں میں سے زندہ ہوا تب اسکے شاگردوں کو یاد آیا کہ اس نے ایسا کہا تھا اور انہوں نے صحیفے پر اور یسوع کے قول پر ایمان لایا۔

23 جب یسوع فسح کی تقریب پر یروشلم میں تھے کئی لوگوں نے اُس کے معجزوں کو دیکھ کر یسوع پر ایمان لا ئے۔ 24 لیکن یسوع نے ان پر بھروسہ نہیں کیا کیوں کہ یسوع کو وہ تمام لوگ معلوم تھے۔ 25 یسوع یہ ضروری نہیں سمجھا کہ کوئی اسے لوگوں کے بارے میں بتا ئے اس لئے کہ اسے معلوم تھا کہ ان لوگوں کے دماغوں میں کیا ہے۔

The Wedding at Cana

On (A)the third day there was a wedding at (B)Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with (C)his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, (D)“Woman, (E)what does this have to do with me? (F)My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

Now there were six stone water jars there (G)for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty (H)gallons.[a] Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. When the master of the feast tasted (I)the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested (J)his glory. And (K)his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and (L)his brothers[b] and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

13 (M)The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus (N)went up to Jerusalem. 14 (O)In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make (P)my Father's house a house of trade.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, (Q)“Zeal for your house will consume me.”

18 So the Jews said to him, (R)“What sign do you show us for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, (S)“Destroy this temple, and in three days (T)I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple,[c] and will you raise it up in three days?” 21 But he was speaking about (U)the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, (V)his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed (W)the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

Jesus Knows What Is in Man

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name (X)when they saw the signs that he was doing. 24 But Jesus (Y)on his part did not entrust himself to them, because (Z)he knew all people 25 and needed no one to bear witness about man, for (AA)he himself 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)

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.
