Wedding at Cana
2 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and 2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. 3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They don’t have any wine.”
4 Jesus replied, “Woman, what does that have to do with me? My time hasn’t come yet.”
5 His mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Nearby were six stone water jars used for the Jewish cleansing ritual, each able to hold about twenty or thirty gallons.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water,” and they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, “Now draw some from them and take it to the headwaiter,” and they did. 9 The headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine. He didn’t know where it came from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.
The headwaiter called the groom 10 and said, “Everyone serves the good wine first. They bring out the second-rate wine only when the guests are drinking freely. You kept the good wine until now.” 11 This was the first miraculous sign that Jesus did in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this, Jesus and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples went down to Capernaum and stayed there for a few days.
Jesus in Jerusalem at Passover
13 It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 He found in the temple those who were selling cattle, sheep, and doves, as well as those involved in exchanging currency sitting there. 15 He made a whip from ropes and chased them all out of the temple, including the cattle and the sheep. He scattered the coins and overturned the tables of those who exchanged currency. 16 He said to the dove sellers, “Get these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a place of business.” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written, Passion for your house consumes me.[a]
18 Then the Jewish leaders asked him, “By what authority are you doing these things? What miraculous sign will you show us?”
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple and in three days I’ll raise it up.”
20 The Jewish leaders replied, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and you will raise it up in three days?” 21 But the temple Jesus was talking about was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered what he had said, and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover Festival, many believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs that he did. 24 But Jesus didn’t trust himself to them because he knew all people. 25 He didn’t need anyone to tell him about human nature, for he knew what human nature was.
John 2
King James Version
2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 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.

水をぶどう酒に変える
2 それから三日目に、ガリラヤのカナという村で結婚式があり、イエスの母マリヤが客として出席していました。 2 イエスと弟子たちも招待されていました。 3 ところが、祝宴の最中だというのに、ぶどう酒が切れてしまったのです。マリヤは、そのことをイエスに知らせました。 4 イエスは、「今はかかわりがないことです、お母さん。まだ、その時ではありません」と、お答えになりました。 5 マリヤは手伝いの者たちに、「この人の言うとおりにしてください」と言いました。 6 さて、そこには石の水がめが六つありました。ユダヤ教の儀式に使う水がめで、それぞれ八十リットルから百二十リットルぐらい入るものです。 7 イエスは手伝いの者たちに、「さあ、縁までいっぱい水を入れなさい」と指示なさいました。彼らがそのとおりにすると、 8 「では、それを汲んで、婚宴の世話役のところへ持って行きなさい」と言われます。彼らは言われるままに持って行きました。 9 宴会の世話役が試しに一口味わってみると、おいしいぶどう酒です。「こんな上等の酒を、いったいどこから出してきたんだろう」と首をかしげました。もちろん手伝いの者たちは何もかも知っていました。そこで、世話役は花婿を呼び出して、 10 言いました。「これは極上のぶどう酒じゃないですか。あなたはすばらしい方だ。たいていどこの家でも初めに良いぶどう酒を出し、酔いがまわって味がわからなくなると、安物でごまかすものです。ところがあなたは、一番上等なものを、最後まで取っておかれたのですから。」 11 このガリラヤのカナでの奇跡は、イエスが神の力を公に示された最初のものでした。これを見て弟子たちは、イエスを正真正銘のメシヤと信じたのです。
12 その結婚式のあと、イエスは、母や兄弟、弟子たちといっしょにカペナウムへ行き、数日間、滞在されました。
エルサレム神殿をきよめる
13 ユダヤ人の過越の祭り（パン種を入れないパンを食べる、年に一度のユダヤ人の祭り）が近づき、イエスはエルサレムへ行かれました。 14 宮の境内には、供え物用の牛や羊、鳩を売る商人たちと、座って両替をしている人たちがいました。 15 それを見て、イエスはなわでむちを作り、商売人たちをみな追い出し、鳩や羊や牛を追い散らし始めました。次々に両替人の台をひっくり返したので、お金があたり一面に散らばりました。 16 イエスは鳩を売る者たちに、「それを持って出て行きなさい。父の家を金もうけの場所にしてはいけません」と言われました。 17 そのとき弟子たちは、「神の家を思う熱心が、わたしを焼き尽くす」（詩篇69・9）という、聖書の預言を思い出したのです。
18 おさまらないユダヤ人の指導者たちは、かんかんになって言いました。「いったい何の権利があってこの人たちを追い出すのか。そんな権威を神から与えられているのだったら、その証拠に奇跡を見せてもらおう。」 19 イエスはお答えになりました。「わかりました。この神殿をこわしなさい。三日で建て直してみせましょう。」 20 「なんということを！ この神殿は建てるのに四十六年もかかったのだ。それを三日で建てると言うのか。」ユダヤ人たちはあきれ返りました。 21 しかし、イエスが「この神殿」と言われたのは、ご自分の体のことだったのです。 22 イエスが復活されたあとで、弟子たちはこの時のことを思い出しました。そして、イエスがご自分のことを聖書のことばを引用して話されたのであり、そのとおりになったことを知ったのです。
23 過越の祭りの時、イエスがエルサレムで奇跡を行われたので、多くの人が、「この方は確かにメシヤだ」と信じるようになりました。 24-25 しかしイエスは、そういう人々を信用されたわけではありません。人間がどれほど変わりやすいものかを知り尽くしておられたからです。
