迦拿的婚筵

第三天,在加利利的迦拿有婚筵,耶稣的母亲在那里; 耶稣和门徒也被邀请参加婚筵。 酒用尽了,耶稣的母亲对他说:“他们没有酒了。” 耶稣说:“母亲(“母亲”原文作“妇人”),我跟你有甚么关系呢?我的时候还没有到。” 他母亲告诉仆人说:“他吩咐你们甚么,就作甚么。” 在那里有六口石缸,每口可盛两三桶水,是为犹太人行洁净礼用的。 耶稣吩咐仆人:“把缸都倒满水!”他们就倒满了,直到缸口。 耶稣又吩咐他们:“现在舀出来,送给筵席的总管!”他们就送去了。 总管尝了那水变的酒,不知道是从哪里来的,只有舀水的仆人知道。总管就叫新郎来, 10 对他说:“人人都是先摆上好酒,等到亲友喝够了,才摆上次等的,你倒把好酒留到现在。” 11 这是耶稣所行的第一件神迹,是在加利利的迦拿行的。他显出了自己的荣耀,他的门徒就信了他。

12 这事以后,耶稣和母亲、弟弟、门徒,都下到迦百农去,在那里住了没有几天。

洁净圣殿(A)

13 犹太人的逾越节近了,耶稣就上耶路撒冷去。 14 他在圣殿的外院里看见有卖牛羊鸽子的,和坐在那里兑换银钱的, 15 就用绳索做了一条鞭子,把众人连牛带羊都从外院赶出去,倒掉兑换银钱的人的钱,推翻他们的桌子; 16 又对卖鸽子的说:“把这些东西搬出去,不要把我父的殿当作巿场。” 17 他的门徒就想起经上记着:“我为你的殿心中迫切,如同火烧。” 18 犹太人就问他:“你可以显甚么神迹给我们看,证明你有权作这些事呢?” 19 耶稣回答:“你们拆毁这殿,我三天之内要把它建造起来。” 20 犹太人说:“这殿建了四十六年,你三天之内就能把它建造起来吗?” 21 但耶稣所说的殿,就是他的身体。 22 所以当耶稣从死人中复活以后,门徒想起了他说过这话,就信了圣经和耶稣所说的话。

耶稣知道人的内心

23 耶稣在耶路撒冷过逾越节的时候,许多人看见他所行的神迹,就信了他的名。 24 耶稣却不信任他们,因为他知道所有的人, 25 也不需要谁指证人是怎样的,因为他知道人心里存的是甚么。

Le nozze di Cana: primo miracolo di Gesù

Due giorni dopo, la madre di Gesù fu invitata ad un matrimonio nel villaggio di Cana, in Galilea. Cʼerano anche Gesù e i suoi discepoli. Durante il pranzo la scorta di vino si esaurì e la madre di Gesù gli disse: «Non hanno più vino».

«Amata donna», rispose Gesù, «Perché mi coinvolgi? Non è ancora giunta la mia ora».

Ma sua madre disse ai servi: «Fate tutto ciò che vi dirà».

Cʼerano lì sei recipienti di pietra, che venivano usati durante le cerimonie ebraiche; ognuno conteneva dagli ottanta ai cento litri circa. 7-8 Gesù ordinò ai servi di riempirli dʼacqua fino allʼorlo, poi aggiunse: «Prendetene un poʼ e portatelo al maestro di tavola».

Quando il maestro di tavola assaggiò lʼacqua trasformata in vino, non sapendo da dove venisse (naturalmente solo i servi sapevano ciò che era accaduto), disse allo sposo: 10 «Che bontà! Tu sei diverso dagli altri. Di solito tutti offrono prima il vino migliore e dopo, quando gli invitati hanno già bevuto, e non ci fanno più caso, fanno servire le qualità più scadenti. Invece, tu hai tenuto per ultimo il vino migliore!»

11 Questo miracolo a Cana in Galilea, fu la prima dimostrazione pubblica della potenza divina di Gesù. E i discepoli credettero che era davvero lui il Messia.

12 Dopo le nozze, Gesù partì per Cafarnao insieme con sua madre, i suoi fratelli e i discepoli, e si fermò là alcuni giorni.

Un tempio, non un mercato!

13 Sʼavvicinava il periodo della Pasqua ebraica e Gesù andò a Gerusalemme.

14 Nel tempio vide i mercanti che vendevano buoi, pecore e colombe per i sacrifici, e i cambiavalute seduti dietro i loro banchi. 15 Con delle corde Gesù fece una frusta e cacciò tutti dal tempio. Spinse fuori le pecore e i buoi, e scaraventò a terra le monete dei cambiavalute, rovesciando i loro tavoli. 16 Poi, rivolgendosi ai venditori di colombi, gridò: «Portate fuori questa roba! Non trasformate in un mercato la casa di mio Padre!»

17 Allora i discepoli si ricordarono di questa profezia delle Scritture: «Lo zelo per la casa di Dio è come un fuoco che mi consuma».

18 «Che diritto hai di fare queste cose?» gli chiesero allora alcuni capi giudei. «Se hai questa autorità da Dio, dimostralo con un miracolo!»

19 «Va bene», rispose Gesù, «questo è il miracolo che farò per voi: distruggete questo tempio ed in tre giorni io lo costruirò di nuovo!»

20 «Che cosa?» replicarono i Giudei. «Ci sono voluti quarantasei anni per costruire questo tempio, e tu saresti capace di ricostruirlo in tre giorni?» 21 Ma, dicendo «questo tempio», Gesù si riferiva al suo corpo. 22 Dopo la risurrezione, i discepoli si ricordarono di queste parole e capirono che le parole delle Scritture si riferivano davvero a lui e che tutto si era avverato!

23 Per i miracoli che Gesù fece a Gerusalemme, durante le feste di Pasqua, molte persone si convinsero che era davvero lui il Messia. 24-25 Ma Gesù non si fidava di loro, perché conosceva lʼuomo nel suo intimo; non occorreva che qualcuno gli dicesse quantʼè volubile la natura umana!

The Wedding at Cana

On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.” So they took it. When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first; and when men 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 his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Caper′na-um, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples; and there they stayed for a few days.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; 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; you shall not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.” 18 The Jews then said to him, “What sign have you to show us for doing this?” 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and 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 had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did; 24 but Jesus did not trust himself to them, 25 because he knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for 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)
