Water Turned to Wine

On the third day there was a (A)wedding in (B)Cana of Galilee, and the (C)mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”

Jesus said to her, (D)“Woman, (E)what does your concern have to do with Me? (F)My hour has not yet come.”

His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.

Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, (G)according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. When the master of the feast had tasted (H)the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. 10 And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”

11 This (I)beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, (J)and [a]manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

12 After this He went down to (K)Capernaum, He, His mother, (L)His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple(M)

13 (N)Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 (O)And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers [b]doing business. 15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make (P)My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” 17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, (Q)“Zeal for Your house [c]has eaten Me up.”

18 So the Jews answered and said to Him, (R)“What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”

19 Jesus answered and said to them, (S)“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

21 But He was speaking (T)of the temple of His body. 22 Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, (U)His disciples remembered that He had said this [d]to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

The Discerner of Hearts

23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the (V)signs which He did. 24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He (W)knew all men, 25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for (X)He knew what was in man.

Las bodas en Caná de Galilea

Al tercer día se celebraron unas bodas en Caná de Galilea, y estaba allí la madre de Jesús. También fueron invitados a las bodas Jesús y sus discípulos. Y faltó vino. Entonces la madre de Jesús le dijo:

—No tienen vino.

Jesús le dijo:

—¿Qué tiene que ver esto con nosotros, mujer? Aún no ha llegado mi hora.

Su madre dijo a los que servían:

—Haced todo lo que él os diga.

Había allí seis tinajas de piedra para agua, dispuestas para el rito de purificación de los judíos; en cada una de ellas cabían dos o tres cántaros. Jesús les dijo:

—Llenad de agua estas tinajas.

Y las llenaron hasta arriba. Entonces les dijo:

—Sacad ahora un poco y presentadlo al encargado del banquete.

Y se lo presentaron. Cuando el encargado del banquete probó el agua hecha vino, sin saber de dónde era (aunque sí lo sabían los sirvientes que habían sacado el agua), llamó al esposo 10 y le dijo:

—Todo hombre sirve primero el buen vino, y cuando han bebido mucho, el inferior; sin embargo, tú has reservado el buen vino hasta ahora.

11 Este principio de señales hizo Jesús en Caná de Galilea, y manifestó su gloria; y sus discípulos creyeron en él.

12 Después de esto descendieron a Capernaúm él, su madre, sus hermanos y sus discípulos; y se quedaron allí no muchos días.

Jesús purifica el Templo(A)

13 Estaba cerca la Pascua de los judíos, y subió Jesús a Jerusalén. 14 Encontró en el Templo a los que vendían bueyes, ovejas y palomas, y a los cambistas que estaban allí sentados 15 e hizo un azote de cuerdas y echó fuera del Templo a todos, con las ovejas y los bueyes; también desparramó las monedas de los cambistas y volcó las mesas; 16 y dijo a los que vendían palomas:

—Quitad esto de aquí, y no convirtáis la casa de mi Padre en casa de mercado.

17 Entonces recordaron sus discípulos que está escrito: «El celo de tu casa me consumirá.» 18 Los judíos respondieron y le dijeron:

—Ya que haces esto, ¿qué señal nos muestras?

19 Respondió Jesús y les dijo:

—Destruid este templo y en tres días lo levantaré.

20 Entonces los judíos dijeron:

—En cuarenta y seis años fue edificado este Templo, ¿y tú en tres días lo levantarás?

21 Pero él hablaba del templo de su cuerpo. 22 Por tanto, cuando resucitó de entre los muertos, sus discípulos recordaron que había dicho esto, y creyeron en la Escritura y en la palabra que Jesús había dicho.

Jesús conoce a todos los hombres

23 Mientras estaba en Jerusalén, en la fiesta de la Pascua, muchos creyeron en su nombre al ver las señales que hacía. 24 Pero Jesús mismo no se fiaba de ellos, porque los conocía a todos; 25 y no necesitaba que nadie le explicara nada acerca del hombre, pues él sabía lo que hay en el hombre.

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)
