1 The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there. 2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding. 3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, "They have no wine."

4 Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come."

5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."

6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes*2:6 2 to 3 metretes is about 20 to 30 U. S. Gallons, or 75 to 115 liters. apiece. 7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water." So they filled them up to the brim. 8 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it. 9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!" 11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting. 15 He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables. 16 To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!" 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will eat me up."✝2:17 Psalms 69:9

18 The Jews therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?"

19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

20 The Jews therefore said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?" 21 But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did. 24 But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone, 25 and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

1 Kolmandal päeval peeti pulmi Kaanas Galileamaal. Ka Jeesuse ema oli seal 2 ning Jeesus oma jüngritega oli samuti pulmapeole kutsutud. 3 Kui vein otsa sai, ütles ema Jeesusele: „Neil on vein otsas!"

4 Kuid Jeesus vastas talle: „Naine, mis see minusse puutub? Minu aeg ei ole veel tulnud!"

5 Ta ema aga käskis teenijaid: „Mida iganes ta teile ütleb, seda tehke!"

6 Seal oli kuus kivist veeanumat juudi puhastustalituste tarvis, igaüks neist mahutas kaheksakümmend kuni sada kakskümmend liitrit.

7 „Täitke need anumad veega!" käskis Jeesus, ja nad täitsid need ääreni.

8 Siis ta ütles neile: „Ammutage nüüd sellest ja viige pulmavanemale!"

Nad tegid seda, 9 ja pulmavanem maitses vett, mis oli veiniks muutunud. Ta ei teadnud, kust see toodud oli, kuid teenijad, kes olid vee valanud, teadsid. Ta kutsus peigmehe kõrvale 10 ja ütles talle: „Iga peoperemees pakub esmalt parimat veini ja kui on joodud küllalt, siis kehvemat. Sina aga oled hoidnud parimat siiani!"

11 Selle tunnustähega Kaanas Galileamaal ilmutas Jeesus esmakordselt oma jumalikku au, ning ta jüngrid uskusid temasse.

12 Seejärel peatus ta oma ema, vendade ja jüngritega mõne päeva Kapernaumas.

13 Juutide paasapühad olid tulemas ja Jeesus läks Jeruusalemma. 14 Nähes templiõues veiste, lammaste ja tuvide müüjaid ning rahavahetajaid laudade taga, 15 tegi ta nööridest piitsa ja kihutas templist välja kõik, nii veised kui ka lambad. Ta puistas laiali rahavahetajate mündid ja keeras kummuli nende lauad. 16 Ja ta käskis tuvimüüjaid: „Viige need siit minema! Ärge tehke mu Isa koda laadaplatsiks!" 17 Tema jüngritele meenus siis, et on kirjutatud: „Kiivus su koja pärast neelab mu ära!"

18 Seepeale nõudsid juudid Jeesuse käest: „Kas sul on näidata meile mingit tunnustähte, mis kinnitaks, et sul on meelevald teha sääraseid asju?"

19 Jeesus vastas neile: „Lõhkuge see tempel, ja ma taastan selle kolme päevaga!"

20 Nemad vastasid: „Seda templit on ehitatud nelikümmend kuus aastat, ja sina taastad selle kolme päevaga?" 21 Kuid tempel, millest Jeesus rääkis, oli tema ihu. 22 Pärast tema ülestõusmist surmast meenus jüngritele, et ta seda oli öelnud, ning nad uskusid Pühakirja ja Jeesuse sõnu.

23 Kui Jeesus paasapühade ajal Jeruusalemmas tunnustähti andis, hakkasid paljud temasse uskuma. 24 Tema aga ei usaldanud ennast nende kätte, sest ta tundis inimesi. 25 Tal polnud vaja tunnistust inimeste kohta, sest ta teadis, mis on iga inimese sees.
