Jesus förvandlar vatten till vin

På tredje dagen[a] hölls ett bröllop i Kana i Galileen, och Jesus mor var där. Jesus och hans lärjungar var också inbjudna dit. Vinet tog slut, och Jesus mor sa då till honom: ”De har inget vin.”

”Lämna mig ifred, kvinna”, svarade han. ”Min stund har inte kommit än.”

Men hans mor sa till tjänarna: ”Gör precis som han säger.”

Där fanns sex stora stenkrukor för de judiska reningsceremonierna. Krukorna rymde omkring hundra liter var. Jesus sa nu till dem: ”Fyll krukorna med vatten”, och när alla krukorna var helt fulla, sa han: ”Ös upp och ge det till bröllopsvärden.” Och de gjorde så.

Värden smakade på vattnet, som nu hade förvandlats till vin. Men eftersom han inte visste varifrån det kom – bara tjänarna som hade öst upp vattnet kände till det – kallade han på brudgummen och sa: 10 ”Alla bjuder ju först på det utsökta vinet och på sämre vin när gästerna börjar bli berusade. Men du har sparat det bästa till sist!”

11 Genom detta sitt första tecken i Kana i Galileen visade Jesus sin härlighet, och hans lärjungar trodde på honom.

12 Därefter gick Jesus ner till Kafarnaum tillsammans med sin mor, sina bröder och sina lärjungar, och de stannade där under några dagar.

Jesus rensar templet

(Matt 21:12-13; Mark 11:15-17; Luk 19:45-46)

13 När påskhögtiden[b] närmade sig gick Jesus till Jerusalem. 14 I templet fann han dem som sålde oxar, får och duvor, och dem som satt och växlade pengar.[c] 15 Jesus gjorde sig en piska av några repstumpar och drev ut allihop från tempelområdet tillsammans med fåren och oxarna. Han slog ut myntväxlarnas pengar och välte deras bord, 16 och till dem som sålde duvor sa han: ”Ta bort allt detta härifrån! Gör inte min Faders hus till en marknadsplats!”

17 Då kom hans lärjungar ihåg att det stod skrivet: ”Min iver för ditt tempel förtär mig.”[d]

18 Men judarna sa till honom: ”Vad kan du visa oss för tecken, när du nu gör så här?”

19 Jesus svarade: ”Riv ner det här templet, så ska jag resa upp det igen på tre dagar.”

20 Judarna sa: ”Detta tempelbygge har pågått i fyrtiosex år, och du menar att du kan resa upp det på tre dagar!” 21 Men det tempel Jesus talade om var hans egen kropp. 22 När han sedan uppstod från de döda kom hans lärjungar ihåg att han hade sagt detta, och de trodde på Skriften och på det ord Jesus själv hade talat.

23 Tack vare de tecken han gjorde i Jerusalem under påskhögtiden började många tro på hans namn. 24 Men Jesus litade inte på någon, för han kände alla. 25 Han behövde inte någons vittnesbörd om människan, för han visste vad som fanns i människan.

Miracle at Cana

On (A)the third day there was a wedding in (B)Cana of Galilee, and the (C)mother of Jesus was there; and both Jesus and His (D)disciples were invited to the wedding. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus *said to her, [a](E)What business do you have with Me, (F)woman? (G)My hour has not yet come.” His (H)mother *said to the servants, “Whatever He tells you, do it.” Now there were six stone waterpots standing there (I)for the Jewish custom of purification, containing [b]two or three measures each. Jesus *said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the [c]headwaiter.” And they took it to him. Now when the headwaiter tasted the water (J)which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the groom, 10 and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the guests (K)are drunk, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This beginning of His [d](L)signs Jesus did in Cana of (M)Galilee, and revealed His (N)glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

12 After this He went down to (O)Capernaum, He and His (P)mother, and His (Q)brothers and His (R)disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

First Passover—Cleansing the Temple

13 (S)The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus (T)went up to Jerusalem. 14 (U)And within the temple grounds He found those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 And He made a whip of [e]cords, and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 and to those who were selling (V)the doves He said, “Take these things away from here; stop making (W)My Father’s house a [f]place of business!” 17 His (X)disciples remembered that it was written: “(Y)Zeal for Your house will consume me.” 18 (Z)The Jews then said to Him, “(AA)What sign do You show us [g]as Your authority for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, (AB)Destroy this [h]temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 (AC)The Jews then said, “It took (AD)forty-six years to build this [i]temple, and yet You will raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking about (AE)the [j]temple of His body. 22 So when He was raised from the dead, His (AF)disciples (AG)remembered that He said this; and they believed (AH)the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at (AI)the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name as they (AJ)observed His signs which He was doing. 24 But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, because (AK)He knew all people, 25 and because He did not need anyone to testify about mankind, (AL)for He Himself knew what was in mankind.

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)
