Johannes 2
Het Boek
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.

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, 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.

Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.(A) Jesus’ mother(B) was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman,[a](C) why do you involve me?”(D) Jesus replied. “My hour(E) has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”(F)
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing,(G) each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 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)
