John 2
Amplified Bible
Miracle at Cana
2 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; 2 and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was all gone, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “[a]They have no more wine.” 4 Jesus said to her, “[Dear] woman, [b]what is that to you and to Me? My time [to act and to be revealed] has not yet come.”(A) 5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” 6 Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification (ceremonial washing), containing twenty or thirty gallons each. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. 8 Then He said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter [of the banquet].” So they took it to him. 9 And when the headwaiter tasted the water which had turned into wine, not knowing where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew) he called the bridegroom, 10 and said to him, “Everyone else serves his best wine first, and when people have [c]drunk freely, then he serves that which is not so good; but you have kept back the good wine until now.” 11 This, the first of His signs (attesting miracles), Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His glory [displaying His deity and His great power openly], and His disciples believed [confidently] in Him [as the Messiah—they adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Him].(B)
12 After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
First Passover—Cleansing the Temple
13 Now the Passover of the Jews was approaching, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And in the temple [enclosure] He found the [d]people who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at their tables.(C) 15 He made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 then to those who sold the doves He said, “Take these things away! Stop making My Father’s house a place of commerce!”(D) 17 His disciples remembered that it is written [in the Scriptures], “Zeal (love, concern) for Your house [and its honor] will consume Me.”(E) 18 Then the Jews retorted, “What sign (attesting miracle) can You show us as [proof of] your authority for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 Then the Jews replied, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and You will raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking of the temple which was His body. 22 So when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered what He had said. And they believed and trusted in and relied on the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.(F)
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in His name [identifying themselves with Him] after seeing His signs (attesting miracles) which He was doing. 24 But Jesus, for His part, did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all people [and understood the [e]superficiality and fickleness of human nature], 25 and He did not need anyone to testify concerning man [and human nature], for He Himself knew what was in man [in their hearts—in the very core of their being].(G)

Ang Kasalan sa Cana
2 Pagkalipas ng dalawang araw, may ginanap na kasalan sa bayan ng Cana na sakop ng Galilea. Naroon ang ina ni Jesus. 2 Inimbita rin si Jesus at ang mga tagasunod niya. 3 Nang maubos ang alak sa handaan, sinabi ng ina ni Jesus sa kanya, “Naubusan sila ng alak.” 4 Sumagot si Jesus, “Babae,[a] huwag po ninyo akong pangunahan. Hindi pa po dumarating ang panahon ko.” 5 Sinabi ng ina ni Jesus sa mga katulong, “Sundin ninyo ang anumang iutos niya.”
6 May anim na tapayan doon na ginagamit ng mga Judio sa ritwal nilang paghuhugas.[b] Ang bawat tapayan ay naglalaman ng 20 hanggang 30 galon ng tubig. 7 Sinabi ni Jesus sa mga katulong, “Punuin ninyo ng tubig ang mga tapayan.” At pinuno nga nila ang mga ito. 8 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sumalok kayo at dalhin sa namamahala ng handaan.” Sumalok nga sila at dinala sa namamahala. 9 Tinikman ng namamahala ang tubig na naging alak. Hindi niya alam kung saan nanggaling ang alak. (Pero alam ito ng mga katulong na sumalok ng tubig.) Kaya ipinatawag niya ang lalaking ikinasal 10 at sinabi, “Karaniwan, ang pinakamainam na alak muna ang inihahanda, at kapag marami nang nainom ang mga tao, saka naman inilalabas ang ordinaryong alak. Pero iba ka, dahil ngayon mo lang inilabas ang espesyal na alak.”
11 Ang nangyaring ito sa Cana, Galilea ay ang unang himala na ginawa ni Jesus. Sa ginawa niyang ito, ipinakita niya ang kanyang kapangyarihan, at sumampalataya sa kanya ang mga tagasunod niya.
12 Pagkatapos ng kasalan, pumunta si Jesus sa Capernaum, kasama ang kanyang ina, mga kapatid, at mga tagasunod. Nanatili sila roon ng ilang araw.
Ang Pagmamalasakit ni Jesus sa Templo(A)
13 Malapit na noon ang pista ng mga Judio na tinatawag na Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel,[c] kaya pumunta si Jesus sa Jerusalem. 14 Nakita niya roon sa templo ang mga nagtitinda ng mga baka, tupa at mga kalapati. Nakita rin niya ang mga nagpapalit ng pera ng mga dayuhan sa kanilang mga mesa. 15 Kaya gumawa siya ng panghagupit na lubid, at itinaboy niya palabas ng templo ang mga baka at tupa. Ikinalat niya ang mga pera ng mga nagpapalit at itinaob ang mga mesa nila. 16 Sinabi ni Jesus sa mga nagtitinda ng mga kalapati, “Alisin ninyo ang mga iyan! Huwag ninyong gawing palengke ang bahay ng aking Ama!” 17 Naalala ng mga tagasunod niya ang nakasulat sa Kasulatan: “Mapapahamak ako dahil sa pagmamalasakit ko sa bahay ninyo.”[d]
18 Dahil sa ginawa niyang ito, tinanong siya ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio, “Anong himala ang maipapakita mo sa amin upang mapatunayan mong may karapatan kang gawin ito?” 19 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Gibain ninyo ang templong ito, at sa loob ng tatlong araw ay itatayo kong muli.” 20 Sinabi naman nila, “Ginawa ang templong ito ng 46 na taon at itatayo mo sa loob lang ng tatlong araw?” 21 Pero hindi nila naintindihan na ang templong tinutukoy ni Jesus ay ang kanyang katawan. 22 Kaya nang nabuhay siyang muli, naalala ng mga tagasunod niya ang sinabi niyang ito. At naniwala sila sa pahayag ng Kasulatan at sa mga sinabi ni Jesus tungkol sa kanyang muling pagkabuhay.
Alam ni Jesus ang Kalooban ng Tao
23 Habang si Jesus ay nasa Jerusalem, nang Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel, marami ang sumampalataya sa kanya nang makita nila ang mga himalang ginawa niya. 24 Pero hindi nagtiwala si Jesus sa pananampalataya nila, dahil kilala niya ang lahat ng tao. 25 At hindi na kailangang may magsabi pa sa kanya tungkol sa mga tao, dahil alam niya kung ano ang nasa mga puso nila.
