As bodas em Caná. A água feita vinho
2 E, ao terceiro dia, fizeram-se umas bodas em Caná da Galileia; e estava ali a mãe de Jesus. 2 E foram também convidados Jesus e os seus discípulos para as bodas. 3 E, faltando o vinho, a mãe de Jesus lhe disse: Não têm vinho. 4 Disse-lhe Jesus: Mulher, que tenho eu contigo? Ainda não é chegada a minha hora. 5 Sua mãe disse aos empregados: Fazei tudo quanto ele vos disser. 6 E estavam ali postas seis talhas de pedra, para as purificações dos judeus, e em cada uma cabiam duas ou três metretas. 7 Disse-lhes Jesus: Enchei de água essas talhas. E encheram-nas até em cima. 8 E disse-lhes: Tirai agora e levai ao mestre-sala. E levaram. 9 E, logo que o mestre-sala provou a água feita vinho (não sabendo de onde viera, se bem que o sabiam os empregados que tinham tirado a água), chamou o mestre-sala ao esposo. 10 E disse-lhe: Todo homem põe primeiro o vinho bom e, quando já têm bebido bem, então, o inferior; mas tu guardaste até agora o bom vinho. 11 Jesus principiou assim os seus sinais em Caná da Galileia e manifestou a sua glória, e os seus discípulos creram nele.
12 Depois disso, desceu a Cafarnaum, ele, e sua mãe, e seus irmãos, e seus discípulos, e ficaram ali não muitos dias.
Jesus purifica o templo(A)
13 E estava próxima a Páscoa dos judeus, e Jesus subiu a Jerusalém. 14 E achou no templo os que vendiam bois, e ovelhas, e pombos, e os cambiadores assentados. 15 E, tendo feito um azorrague de cordéis, lançou todos fora do templo, bem como os bois e ovelhas; e espalhou o dinheiro dos cambiadores, e derribou as mesas, 16 e disse aos que vendiam pombos: Tirai daqui estes e não façais da casa de meu Pai casa de vendas. 17 E os seus discípulos lembraram-se do que está escrito: O zelo da tua casa me devorará. 18 Responderam, pois, os judeus e disseram-lhe: Que sinal nos mostras para fazeres isso? 19 Jesus respondeu e disse-lhes: Derribai este templo, e em três dias o levantarei. 20 Disseram, pois, os judeus: Em quarenta e seis anos, foi edificado este templo, e tu o levantarás em três dias? 21 Mas ele falava do templo do seu corpo. 22 Quando, pois, ressuscitou dos mortos, os seus discípulos lembraram-se de que lhes dissera isso; e creram na Escritura e na palavra que Jesus tinha dito.
23 E, estando ele em Jerusalém pela Páscoa, durante a festa, muitos, vendo os sinais que fazia, creram no seu nome. 24 Mas o mesmo Jesus não confiava neles, porque a todos conhecia 25 e não necessitava de que alguém testificasse do homem, porque ele bem sabia o que havia no homem.

The Wedding at Cana
2 Two days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there. 2 Jesus and his followers were also invited. 3 At the wedding there was not enough wine, so Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 Jesus answered, “Dear woman, why are you telling me this? It is not yet time for me to begin my work.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do what he tells you.”
6 There were six large stone waterpots there that were used by the Jews in their washing ceremonies.[a] Each one held about 20 or 30 gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them to the top.
8 Then he said to them, “Now dip out some water and take it to the man in charge of the feast.”
So they did what he said. 9 Then the man in charge tasted it, but the water had become wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants who brought the water knew. He called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “People always serve the best wine first. Later, when the guests are drunk, they serve the cheaper wine. But you have saved the best wine until now.”
11 This was the first of all the miraculous signs Jesus did. He did it in the town of Cana in Galilee. By this he showed his divine greatness, and his followers believed in him.
12 Then Jesus went to the town of Capernaum. His mother and brothers and his followers went with him. They all stayed there a few days.
Jesus at the Temple(A)
13 It was almost time for the Jewish Passover, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 There in the Temple area he saw men selling cattle, sheep, and doves. He saw others sitting at tables, exchanging and trading people’s money. 15 Jesus made a whip with some pieces of rope. Then he forced all these men and the sheep and cattle to leave the Temple area. He turned over the tables of the money traders and scattered their money. 16 Then he said to those who were selling pigeons, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a place for buying and selling!”
17 When this happened, his followers remembered what was written in the Scriptures:
“My strong devotion to your Temple will destroy me.” (B)
18 Some Jews said to Jesus, “Show us a miracle as a sign from God. Prove that you have the right to do these things.”
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple and I will build it again in three days.”
20 They answered, “People worked 46 years to build this Temple! Do you really believe you can build it again in three days?”
21 But the temple Jesus meant was his own body. 22 After he was raised from death, his followers remembered that he had said this. So they believed the Scriptures, and they believed the words Jesus said.
23 Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover festival. Many people believed in him because they saw the miraculous signs he did. 24 But Jesus did not trust them, because he knew how all people think. 25 He did not need anyone to tell him what a person was like. He already knew.
