Svadba u Kani
1Dva dana poslije bila je svadba u Kani Galilejskoj, a ondje bijaše i Isusova majka. 2Isus i njegovi učenici također su bili pozvani. 3Za vrijeme slavlja potrošila se sva zaliha vina, pa majka reče Isusu: “Nemaju vina.”
4“A što bi ti od mene htjela?” odgovori joj Isus. “Moje vrijeme još nije došlo.”
5Njegova majka reče slugama: “Učinite sve što vam kaže!”
6Bilo je ondje šest kamenih posuda. Njih su Židovi rabili za obredno pranje, a u svaku je stalo stotinjak litara.2:6 U grčkome: dvije do tri mjere (75 do 113 litara). Psalam 69:10. 7Isus reče slugama da posude do vrha napune vodom. 8Kad su to učinili, reče im: “Sada zahvatite i odnesite ravnatelju stola.” I oni odnesu vino.
9Ravnatelj stola nije znao odakle je vino, ali sluge jesu. Ravnatelj okusi vodu pretvorenu u vino i pozove mladoženju. 10“Vino je izvrsno”, reče. “Ti nisi kao drugi. Domaćin obično najprije nudi najbolje vino, a poslije, kad se svi napiju, daje im lošije. Ali ti si čuvao najbolje vino za kraj!”
11To čudo u Kani Galilejskoj bilo je prvo javno očitovanje Isusove slave i božanske sile. I njegovi učenici povjeruju da je on zaista Mesija.
12Nakon svadbe Isus ode na nekoliko dana u Kafarnaum sa svojom majkom, braćom i učenicima.
Isus tjera trgovce iz Hrama
(Mt 21:12-13; Mk 11:15-17; Lk 19:45-46)
13Približila se godišnja svetkovina, židovska Pasha, pa Isus ode u Jeruzalem. 14U dvorištu Hrama zatekne trgovce kako prodaju žrtvene volove, ovce i golubove te mjenjače novca kako sjede za stolovima. 15Isus zasuče uže u bič te ih sve istjera iz Hrama, istjera ovce i volove, mjenjačima prospe sav novac po podu, a stolove im prevrne. 16Prodavačima golubova reče: “Nosite to odavde! Ne pravite sajmište od kuće mojega Oca!”
17Njegovi se učenici tada prisjete proročanstva iz Svetog pisma: “Izjeda me revnost za tvoj dom.”
18“Kojim ih pravom tjeraš van?” pitali su ga Židovi. “Ako imaš ovlast za to, pokaži nam neko čudo kao dokaz.”
19Isus im odgovori: “Srušite ovaj Hram, a ja ću ga za tri dana podignuti.”
20“Što?!” poviču oni. “Taj se Hram gradio četrdeset šest godina, a ti ćeš ga podignuti u tri dana?” 21Ali Isus je govorio o hramu svojega tijela. 22Kad je uskrsnuo, njegovi su se učenici sjetili da je to htio reći, pa su shvatili da se ono što je naveo iz Svetog pisma zaista odnosilo na njega i da se sve obistinilo.
23Mnogi su povjerovali da je on zaista Mesija jer su vidjeli čuda koja je učinio u Jeruzalemu u vrijeme Pashe. 24Ali Isus u njih nije imao povjerenja jer ih je dobro poznavao. 25Nitko mu nije trebao govoriti kakav je čovjek jer je dobro poznavao ljudsku nutrinu.
Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4“Woman,2:4 The Greek for Woman does not denote any disrespect. why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.2:6 Or from about 75 to about 115 liters
7Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10and 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.”
11What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.
Jesus Clears the Temple Courts
13When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15So 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. 16To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” 17His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”2:17 Psalm 69:9
18The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
20They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
23Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.2:23 Or in him 24But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.
