Two days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in the country of Galilee. Jesus' mother was there.

Jesus and his disciples were also asked to the wedding.

The people needed more wine. Then Jesus' mother said to him, `They have no wine.'

Jesus said, `Woman, why are you telling me about it? It is not yet the time for me to do something.'

His mother said to the servants, `Do all that he tells you to do.'

Six very large water pots made of stone were standing there. The pots were there because the Jews had a certain law about washing themselves.

Jesus said, `Fill the pots with water.' So they filled them to the very top.

Jesus said, `Now take some out. Carry it to the one in charge of the feast.' They did what he said.

The man in charge of the feast tasted the water that was now turned into wine. He did not know where it came from, but the servants who drew the water knew. When the man had tasted it, he called the man who was being married.

10 He said, `Other people give the good wine at the beginning of the feast. When people have had all they want, then they give the wine which is not so good. But you have kept the good wine until now.'

11 This was the first big work that Jesus did. It was in Cana in Galilee. He showed that he was great. And his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went to the town called Capernaum. His mother, his brothers, and his disciples also went with him. They stayed there for a few days.

13 The time for the Passover Feast of the Jews was near. So Jesus went to Jerusalem.

14 In the temple he found people buying and selling things. They were selling cows, sheep, and doves. Others were sitting at tables changing money for the people.

15 Jesus tied some pieces of cord together to make a whip. Then he drove out all the people who were buying and selling in the temple. And he drove out the sheep and the cows. He threw down the tables of the money changers and their money.

16 He said to the people who sold doves, `Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father's house into a market place.'

17 His disciples remembered that God's word says, `My love for your house is like a fire burning in me.'

18 The leaders of the Jews said to Jesus, `Who gave you the right to do this? What big work will prove it to us?'

19 Jesus answered them, `Break down this temple and in three days I will raise it up.'

20 The Jewish leaders said, `It took forty-six years to build this temple. Do you say you will raise it in three days?'

21 But Jesus was talking about the temple which was his body.

22 After Jesus died and had been raised from death, the disciples remembered that he had said this to them. Then they believed what the holy writings say. They also believed what Jesus had said to them.

23 Many people believed in Jesus' name when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast. They believed in him because they saw the big works he did.

24 But Jesus would not trust himself to them.

25 He knew what all people are like. He did not need anyone to tell him about any person, because he knew what was in a person's heart.

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

και τη ημερα τη τριτη γαμος εγενετο εν κανα της γαλιλαιας και ην η μητηρ του ιησου εκει

εκληθη δε και ο ιησους και οι μαθηται αυτου εις τον γαμον

και υστερησαντος οινου λεγει η μητηρ του ιησου προς αυτον οινον ουκ εχουσιν

και λεγει αυτη ο ιησους τι εμοι και σοι γυναι ουπω ηκει η ωρα μου

λεγει η μητηρ αυτου τοις διακονοις ο τι αν λεγη υμιν ποιησατε

ησαν δε εκει λιθιναι υδριαι εξ κατα τον καθαρισμον των ιουδαιων κειμεναι χωρουσαι ανα μετρητας δυο η τρεις

λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους γεμισατε τας υδριας υδατος και εγεμισαν αυτας εως ανω

και λεγει αυτοις αντλησατε νυν και φερετε τω αρχιτρικλινω οι δε ηνεγκαν

ως δε εγευσατο ο αρχιτρικλινος το υδωρ οινον γεγενημενον και ουκ ηδει ποθεν εστιν οι δε διακονοι ηδεισαν οι ηντληκοτες το υδωρ φωνει τον νυμφιον ο αρχιτρικλινος

10 και λεγει αυτω πας ανθρωπος πρωτον τον καλον οινον τιθησιν και οταν μεθυσθωσιν τον ελασσω συ τετηρηκας τον καλον οινον εως αρτι

11 ταυτην εποιησεν αρχην των σημειων ο ιησους εν κανα της γαλιλαιας και εφανερωσεν την δοξαν αυτου και επιστευσαν εις αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου

12 μετα τουτο κατεβη εις καφαρναουμ αυτος και η μητηρ αυτου και οι αδελφοι και οι μαθηται αυτου και εκει εμειναν ου πολλας ημερας

13 και εγγυς ην το πασχα των ιουδαιων και ανεβη εις ιεροσολυμα ο ιησους

14 και ευρεν εν τω ιερω τους πωλουντας βοας και προβατα και περιστερας και τους κερματιστας καθημενους

15 και ποιησας φραγελλιον εκ σχοινιων παντας εξεβαλεν εκ του ιερου τα τε προβατα και τους βοας και των κολλυβιστων εξεχεεν τα κερματα και τας τραπεζας ανετρεψεν

16 και τοις τας περιστερας πωλουσιν ειπεν αρατε ταυτα εντευθεν μη ποιειτε τον οικον του πατρος μου οικον εμποριου

17 εμνησθησαν οι μαθηται αυτου οτι γεγραμμενον εστιν ο ζηλος του οικου σου καταφαγεται με

18 απεκριθησαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι και ειπαν αυτω τι σημειον δεικνυεις ημιν οτι ταυτα ποιεις

19 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις λυσατε τον ναον τουτον και [εν] τρισιν ημεραις εγερω αυτον

20 ειπαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι τεσσερακοντα και εξ ετεσιν οικοδομηθη ο ναος ουτος και συ εν τρισιν ημεραις εγερεις αυτον

21 εκεινος δε ελεγεν περι του ναου του σωματος αυτου

22 οτε ουν ηγερθη εκ νεκρων εμνησθησαν οι μαθηται αυτου οτι τουτο ελεγεν και επιστευσαν τη γραφη και τω λογω ον ειπεν ο ιησους

23 ως δε ην εν τοις ιεροσολυμοις εν τω πασχα εν τη εορτη πολλοι επιστευσαν εις το ονομα αυτου θεωρουντες αυτου τα σημεια α εποιει

24 αυτος δε ιησους ουκ επιστευεν αυτον αυτοις δια το αυτον γινωσκειν παντας

25 και οτι ου χρειαν ειχεν ινα τις μαρτυρηση περι του ανθρωπου αυτος γαρ εγινωσκεν τι ην εν τω ανθρωπω

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.

Сватбата в Кана

Два дни по-късно в галилейския град Кана имаше сватба. И майката на Исус беше там. Исус и учениците му също бяха поканени на сватбата. Когато виното се свърши, майката на Исус му каза: „Нямат повече вино.“

Исус й отговори: „Мила жено, защо ми казваш това? Моето време още не е настъпило.“

Майка му каза на слугите: „Направете каквото той ви каже.“

Там имаше шест каменни делви с вода, подобни на тези, използвани от юдеите за обредното измиване. Всяка от тях побираше от осемдесет до сто и двадесет литра.

Исус каза на слугите: „Напълнете тези делви с вода.“ И те ги напълниха догоре.

След това им каза: „Сега гребнете малко и занесете на този, който отговаря за празненството.“ И те занесоха. Управителят опита водата, превърнала се във вино. (Той не знаеше откъде е дошло виното, но слугите, които бяха наливали водата, знаеха.) Управителят извика младоженеца 10 и му каза: „Всеки дава на гостите си първо най-хубавото вино. По-късно, когато те се напият, се сипва по-евтиното, а ти си запазил най-хубавото вино досега.“

11 Това беше първото от знаменията, които Исус извърши и то стана в галилейския град Кана. Така той изяви славата си и учениците му повярваха в него.

12 След това заедно с майка си, братята си и учениците си той отиде в Капернаум, където остана няколко дни.

Исус отива в храма

(Мат. 21:12-13; Мк. 11:15-17; Лк. 19:45-46)

13 Тъй като наближаваше юдейският празник Пасха, Исус отиде в Ерусалим. 14 В храма той намери хора, които продаваха добитък, овце и гълъби, а други, седнали на маси, обменяха пари. 15 Исус сплете камшик от няколко въжета и изпъди от храма всички, заедно с овцете и добитъка. Преобърна масите на сарафите и разпиля парите им. 16 След това каза на продавачите на гълъби: „Изнесете ги вън оттук! Не превръщайте дома на моя Баща в пазар!“

17 Когато се случи това, учениците на Исус си спомниха записаното в Писанията: „Ревността за твоя дом ще ме изяде.“(A)

18 Някои юдеи на свой ред попитаха: „Какво знамение ще ни покажеш, за да докажеш, че имаш право да вършиш тези неща?“

19 Исус отвърна: „Разрушете този храм и аз ще го издигна отново за три дни.“

20 Юдеите казаха: „Ще го издигнеш отново за три дни? Та този храм е строен четиридесет и шест години!“

21 (Но храмът, за който Исус говореше, бе тялото му. 22 След като възкръсна от мъртвите, учениците му си спомниха, че беше казал това, и повярваха на Писанието и на думите на Исус.)

23 Докато беше в Ерусалим за празника Пасха, много хора повярваха в него, защото виждаха знаменията, които вършеше. 24 Но Исус не им се доверяваше, защото познаваше хората. 25 Не беше нужно някой да му казва за природата на човека, защото сам знаеше кой какво таи в ума си.
