Water wordt wijn
2 Twee dagen later was er een bruiloft in het dorp Kana in Galilea. Jezusʼ moeder was er, 2 en ook Jezus en zijn leerlingen waren uitgenodigd. 3 Op zeker ogenblik raakte de wijn op. Jezusʼ moeder hoorde het en ging het Hem vertellen. 4 ‘Laat Mij met rust,’ antwoordde Hij. ‘Het is mijn tijd nog niet.’ 5 Zijn moeder zei tegen de bedienden: ‘Doe wat Hij u zegt.’ 6 Er stonden zes grote aarden kruiken, elk met een inhoud van zoʼn honderd liter. Die werden bij bepaalde gelegenheden met water gevuld, zodat men zich volgens de Joodse voorschriften kon wassen. 7 Jezus zei tegen de bedienden: ‘Vul al die kruiken met water.’ 8 Toen zij dat gedaan hadden, zei Hij: ‘Schep er nu wat uit en laat de ceremoniemeester ervan proeven.’ Zij gaven ervan aan de ceremoniemeester, 9 die niet wist wat er gebeurd was. Hij proefde van het water dat wijn was geworden en riep de bruidegom. 10 Hij zei tegen hem: ‘Wat een lekkere wijn! Hoe is het mogelijk! Iedereen schenkt eerst de goede wijn en als de mensen dronken beginnen te worden, pas de minder goede. Maar u hebt de beste wijn voor het laatst bewaard.’ 11 Zo liet Jezus in Kana in Galilea voor het eerst zien wie Hij was. Daar toonde Hij zijn grootheid en zijn leerlingen geloofden in Hem.
12 Hierna ging Hij met zijn moeder, broers en leerlingen naar Kafarnaüm, maar zij bleven daar niet lang.
Jezus bezoekt de tempel
13 Weldra zou Pesach, het Joodse Paasfeest, beginnen. Daarom vertrok Jezus naar Jeruzalem. 14 Op het tempelplein zag Hij handelaars die runderen, schapen en duiven verkochten en geldwisselaars die achter hun tafeltjes zaten. 15 Hij knoopte een paar stukken touw aan elkaar en joeg hen daarmee met hun dieren de tempel uit. Het geld van de wisselaars gooide Hij op de grond en hun tafeltjes gooide Hij omver. 16 Tegen de duivenverkopers zei Hij: ‘Eruit! Het huis van mijn Vader is geen markt!’ 17 Dit herinnerde de leerlingen eraan dat er geschreven staat: ‘Van mijzelf blijft niets over, omdat ik alles geef voor uw huis.’ 18 De Joden namen dit niet. ‘Hoe durft U! Bewijs maar eens dat U dit mag doen!’ 19 ‘Breek deze tempel af,’ zei Jezus. ‘En in drie dagen zal Ik hem weer opbouwen.’ 20 ‘Wat!’ riepen de Joden. ‘Er is zesenveertig jaar aan deze tempel gewerkt en U zou er in drie dagen mee klaar zijn?’ 21 Maar Jezus bedoelde dat Hijzelf, zijn eigen lichaam, die tempel was. 22 Later, toen Hij uit de dood was teruggekomen, herinnerden zijn leerlingen zich dat Hij dit gezegd had. Het klopte met wat er in de Boeken staat en zij geloofden het.
Nikodemus bezoekt Jezus
23 Door de wonderen die Jezus tijdens het Paasfeest in Jeruzalem deed, gingen veel mensen in Hem geloven. 24 Maar Hij bleef terughoudend, omdat Hij de mensen door en door kende. 25 Niemand hoefde Hem iets over de mens te vertellen, want Hij wist wat er in een mens omgaat.

カナ町での結婚式
2 それから3日目にイエスの母は、ガリラヤ地方のカナ町で開かれた結婚式に参加していた。 2 イエスとその弟子も共に招かれた。 3 しかし、その結婚式には十分な量のワインがなかったので、イエスの母はイエスにこう言った。「ワインがもう切れちゃったらしいの・・・」
4 イエスは答えた。「お母さん、なんで俺に言うの？その時はまだ俺には来ていないんだ」
5 母は召使いたちにこう言った。「彼の言う通りにして」
6 そこには、ユダヤ人が清めの儀式に使う大きな水瓶が6つほど置いてあった。水瓶はそれぞれ、およそ80L～120Lほどの水を入れることができる大きさだった。
7 イエスは召使いたちに言った。「水瓶を水でいっぱいにするんだ」イエスの申し付け通り、召使いたちは水瓶を水でいっぱいにした。
8 それからイエスは彼らに言った。「では、それを汲んで幹事のもとへ持って行くんだ」
彼らはイエスの申し付け通りにした。 9 幹事がそれを味見すると水がワインに変わっていた！もちろん、幹事はそのワインがどこから来たのかを知らなかったが、水を持ってきた召使いたちは誰がそれを用意したのかを知っていた。幹事はすぐさま花婿を呼んで、 10 彼にこう言った。「誰もが最初は良いワインを出しておいて、客が酔って味が分からなくなった頃に安いワインを出すもんだが、まさか最上級のワインを最後までとっておいたとは！」
11 これは、イエスが最初に行った奇跡だった。この奇跡はガリラヤ地方のカナの町で行われた。これによって、イエスの素晴らしい偉大さが公となった。また、これを目の当たりにした弟子たちはイエスを信じた。
12 その後、イエスはカペナウムの町へ向かった。イエスの母、兄弟たち、そして弟子たちも一緒だった。彼らはそこに数日間滞在した。
神殿の敷地内をきれいにするイエス
（マタイ21:12-13; マルコ11:15-17; ルカ19:45-46）
13 ユダヤ人の過越祭の時が訪れたので、イエスは都エルサレムに向かった。 14 神殿の敷地内に入ると、そこでイエスが見たのは、牛や羊、ハトを売る商人、机に座って両替をする両替人たちだった。 15 イエスは縄でムチを作ると、パチンッ！そのムチで牛や羊たちをその場から追い出すではないか！そして、両替人の前まで行くと彼らの机を勢いよくひっくり返した。あたりは騒然・・・一面にお金が撒き散らされた・・・ 16 そして、イエスはハト売りに言った。「それをとっとと持ってここから出て行け！お父さんの家を商売の場にするな！」
17 この光景を見ていた弟子たちの頭に聖書箇所がよぎった。「♪あなたの神殿への愛が、わたしを打ち砕く！」
18 あるユダヤ人がイエスに言った。「こんなことをする権利があなたにあると言うのなら、神からの奇跡を起こして証明しなさい！」
19 イエスは答えた。「この神殿を壊してみろ、3日で建て直してやろう！」
20 彼らは答えた。「3日？この神殿を建てるのには46年もかかっているのだぞ！それを3日で建てられるだなんて・・・ほんとうにできると思っているのか？」
21 だが、イエスが「この神殿」と言った時、彼は自分の体について言っていたのだ。 22 イエスが死から復活したあと、弟子たちはこの時の発言を思い出し、聖書とイエスのことばをより一層固く信じたのだった。
イエスとニコデモ
23 イエスが神殿の都エルサレムを訪れたのは、過越祭に参加するためだったが、そこにいる間に起こした奇跡を見て、大勢の人がイエスを信じたのだった。 24 しかし、イエスは全ての人たちの考え方を知っていたため、彼らを信用することはなかった。 25 イエスにとって、誰がどんな人だったのか、そのことを誰かから教えてもらう必要はなかった。彼はすでに知っていたのだ。

The Wedding at Cana: Water Turned into Wine
2 And on the third day, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when the[a] wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine!” 4 And Jesus said to her, “What does your concern have to do with me,[b] woman? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it!”[c]
6 Now six stone water jars were set there, in accordance with the ceremonial cleansing of the Jews, each holding two or three measures.[d] 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” And they filled them to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some[e] out and take it[f] to the head steward. So they took it.[g] 9 Now when the head steward tasted the water which had become wine and did not know where it was from—but the servants who had drawn the water knew—the head steward summoned the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone[h] serves the good wine first, and whenever they are drunk, the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!” 11 This beginning of signs Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee, and revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
Jesus’ First Journey to Jerusalem
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, and his mother and brothers[i] and his disciples, and they stayed there a few[j] days. 13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
The Cleansing of the Temple
14 And he found in the temple courts[k] those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated. 15 And he made a whip of cords and[l] drove them[m] all out of the temple courts,[n] both the sheep and the oxen, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their[o] tables. 16 And to the ones selling the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”[p] 17 His disciples remembered that it is written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”[q]
18 So the Jews answered and said to him, “What sign do you show to us, because you are doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up!” 20 Then the Jews said, “This temple has been under construction[r] forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?” 21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body. 22 So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken.
Jesus at the Passover
23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name because they[s] saw his signs which he was doing. 24 But Jesus himself did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people,[t] 25 and because he did not need[u] anyone to testify[v] about man, for he himself knew what was in man.[w]

The Wedding at Cana
2 On (A)the third day there was a wedding at (B)Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with (C)his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, (D)“Woman, (E)what does this have to do with me? (F)My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now there were six stone water jars there (G)for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty (H)gallons.[a] 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 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.
