Water Turned to Wine
2 On the third day there was a (A)wedding in (B)Cana of Galilee, and the (C)mother of Jesus was there. 2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesus said to her, (D)“Woman, (E)what does your concern have to do with Me? (F)My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
6 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. 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. 9 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.

Primo miracolo a Cana
2 (A)Tre giorni dopo, ci fu una festa nuziale in Cana di *Galilea, e c'era la madre di Gesú. 2 E Gesú pure fu invitato con i suoi discepoli alle nozze. 3 Venuto a mancare il vino, la madre di Gesú gli disse: «Non hanno piú vino». 4 Gesú le disse: «Che c'è fra me e te, o donna? L'ora mia non è ancora venuta». 5 Sua madre disse ai servitori: «Fate tutto quel che vi dirà». 6 C'erano là sei recipienti di pietra, del tipo adoperato per la purificazione dei Giudei, i quali contenevano ciascuno due o tre *misure[a]. 7 Gesú disse loro: «Riempite d'acqua i recipienti». Ed essi li riempirono fino all'orlo. 8 Poi disse loro: «Adesso attingete e portatene al maestro di tavola». Ed essi gliene portarono. 9 Quando il maestro di tavola ebbe assaggiato l'acqua che era diventata vino (egli non ne conosceva la provenienza, ma la sapevano bene i servitori che avevano attinto l'acqua), chiamò lo sposo e gli disse: 10 «Ognuno serve prima il vino buono; e quando si è bevuto abbondantemente, il meno
buono; tu, invece, hai tenuto il vino buono fino ad ora».
11 Gesú fece questo primo dei suoi segni miracolosi[b] in Cana di Galilea, e manifestò la sua gloria, e i suoi discepoli credettero in lui.
12 Dopo questo, scese a *Capernaum egli con sua madre, con i suoi fratelli e i suoi discepoli, e rimasero là alcuni giorni.
Gesú nel tempio
13 (B)La Pasqua dei Giudei era vicina e Gesú salí a *Gerusalemme. 14 Trovò nel *tempio quelli che vendevano buoi, pecore, colombi, e i cambiavalute seduti. 15 Fatta una sferza di cordicelle, scacciò tutti fuori dal tempio, pecore e buoi; sparpagliò il denaro dei cambiavalute, rovesciò le tavole, 16 e a quelli che vendevano i colombi disse: «Portate via di qui queste cose; smettete di fare della casa del Padre mio una casa di mercato». 17 E i suoi discepoli si ricordarono che sta scritto:
«Lo zelo per la tua casa mi consuma»[c].
18 I Giudei allora presero a dirgli: «Quale segno miracoloso[d] ci mostri per fare queste cose?» 19 Gesú rispose loro: «Distruggete questo tempio, e in tre giorni lo farò risorgere!» 20 Allora i Giudei dissero: «Quarantasei anni è durata la costruzione di questo tempio e tu lo faresti risorgere in tre giorni?» 21 Ma egli parlava del tempio del suo corpo. 22 Quando dunque fu risorto dai morti, i suoi discepoli si ricordarono che egli aveva detto questo; e credettero alla Scrittura e alla parola che Gesú aveva detta.
23 (C)Mentre egli era in Gerusalemme, alla festa di Pasqua, molti credettero nel suo nome, vedendo i segni miracolosi[e] che egli faceva. 24 Ma Gesú non si fidava di loro, perché conosceva tutti 25 e perché non aveva bisogno della testimonianza di nessuno sull'uomo, poiché egli stesso conosceva quello che era nell'uomo.

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)
