Jesus at a Wedding in Cana
1 Three days later Mary, the mother of Jesus, was at a wedding feast in the village of Cana in Galilee. 2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited and were there.
3 When the wine was all gone, Mary said to Jesus, “They don't have any more wine.”
4 Jesus replied, “Mother, my time hasn't yet come! You must not tell me what to do.”
5 Mary then said to the servants, “Do whatever Jesus tells you to do.”
6 At the feast there were six stone water jars that were used by the people for washing themselves in the way that their religion said they must. Each jar held about 100 liters. 7 Jesus told the servants to fill them to the top with water. Then after the jars had been filled, 8 he said, “Now take some water and give it to the man in charge of the feast.”
The servants did as Jesus told them, 9 and the man in charge drank some of the water that had now turned into wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants did. He called the bridegroom over 10 and said, “The best wine is always served first. Then after the guests have had plenty, the other wine is served. But you have kept the best until last!”
11 This was Jesus' first miracle, and he did it in the village of Cana in Galilee. There Jesus showed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. 12 After this, he went with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples to the town of Capernaum, where they stayed for a few days.
Jesus in the Temple
(Matthew 21.12Matthew 13Mark 11.15-17Luke 19.45Luke 46)13 Not long before the Jewish festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 There he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves in the temple. He also saw moneychangers sitting at their tables. 15 So he took some rope and made a whip. Then he chased everyone out of the temple, together with their sheep and cattle. He turned over the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins.
16 Jesus said to the people who had been selling doves, “Get those doves out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace.”
17 The disciples then remembered that the Scriptures say, “My love for your house burns in me like a fire.”
18 The Jewish leaders asked Jesus, “What miracle will you work to show us why you have done this?”
19 “Destroy this temple,” Jesus answered, “and in three days I will build it again!”
20 The leaders replied, “It took 46 years to build this temple. What makes you think you can rebuild it in three days?”
21 But Jesus was talking about his body as a temple. 22 And when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered what he had told them. Then they believed the Scriptures and the words of Jesus.
Jesus Knows What People Are Like
23 In Jerusalem during Passover many people put their faith in Jesus, because they saw him work miracles. 24 But Jesus knew what was in their hearts, and he would not let them have power over him. 25 No one had to tell him what people were like. He already knew.
عرس قانا الجليل
1 وفي اليومِ الثّالثِ كانَ في قانا الجَليلِ عُرسٌ، وكانَت أُمّ يَسوعَ هُناكَ. 2 فدُعيَ يَسوعُ وتلاميذُهُ إلى العُرسِ. 3 ونفَدَتِ الخَمرُ، فقالَت لَه أُمّهُ: «ما بَقِـيَ عِندَهُم خمرٌ». 4 فأجابَها: «ما لي ولَكِ، يا اَمرأةُ، ما جاءَت ساعَتي بَعدُ». 5 فقالَت أُمّهُ لِلخدَمِ: «إعمَلوا ما يأمُرُكُم بِه». 6 وكانَ هُناكَ سِتّةُ أجرانٍ مِنْ حجَرٍ يتَطَهّرُ اليَهودُ بِمائِها على عادَتِهِم، يسَعُ كُلّ واحدٍ مِنها مِقدارَ مكيالَينِ أو ثلاثَةٍ. 7 فقالَ يَسوعُ لِلخدَمِ: «إملأُوا الأجرانَ بالماءِ». فمَلأوها حتى فاضَت 8 فقالَ لهُم: «اَستَقوا الآنَ وناوِلوا رَئيسَ الوَليمَةِ». فناوَلُوهُ. 9 فلمّا ذاقَ الماءَ الذي صارَ خَمرًا، وكانَ لا يَعرِفُ مِنْ أينَ جاءَتِ الخَمرُ، لكِنّ الخدَمَ الذينَ اَستَقَوا مِنهُ كانوا يَعرِفونَ، دَعا العَريسَ 10 وقالَ لَه: «جَميعُ النّاسِ يُقدّمونَ الخَمرَ الجيّدةَ أوّلاً، حتى إذا سكِرَ الضّيوفُ، قَدّموا الخَمرَ الرّديئةَ. أمّا أنتَ فأخّرتَ الخَمرَ الجيّدةَ إلى الآنَ!»
11 هذِهِ أُولى آياتِ يَسوعَ، صنَعَها في قانا الجَليلِ. فأظهَرَ مَجدَهُ، فآمَنَ بِه تلاميذُهُ.
12 ونزَلَ يَسوعُ بَعدَ ذلِكَ إلى كَفْرناحومَ ومعَهُ أُمّهُ وإخوَتُهُ وتلاميذُهُ، فأقاموا فيها أيّامًا قَليلةً.
يسوع يطرد الباعة من الهيكل
(متى 21:12-13، مرقس 11:15-17، لوقا 19:45-46)13 واَقترَبَ عِيدُ الفِصحِ عِندَ اليَهودِ، فصَعِدَ يَسوعُ إلى أُورُشليمَ. 14 ورأى في الهَيكَلِ باعَةَ البقَرِ والغنَمِ والحَمامِ، والصّيارِفَةَ جالِسينَ إلى مناضِدِهِم، 15 فجَدَلَ سَوطًا مِنْ حِبالٍ وطرَدَهُم كُلّهُم مِنَ الهَيكَلِ معَ الغنَمِ والبقَرِ، وبَعثَرَ نُقودَ الصّيارِفَةِ وقَلَبَ مناضِدَهُم، 16 وقالَ لِباعَةِ الحَمامِ: «اَرفَعوا هذا مِنْ هُنا، ولا تَجعَلوا مِنْ بَيتِ أبـي بَيتًا لِلتجارَةِ». 17 فتذكّرَ تلاميذُهُ هذِهِ الآيةَ: «الغَيرةُ على بَيتِكَ، يا اللهُ، ستأكُلُني».
18 فقالَ لَه اليَهودُ: «أرِنا آيةً تُجيزُ عَملَكَ هذا؟» 19 فأجابَهُم يَسوعُ: «اَهْدِمُوا هذا الهَيكَلَ، وأنا أبْنِـيهِ في ثلاثةِ أيامٍ». 20 فقالَ اليَهودُ: «بُنِـيَ هذا الهَيكَلُ في سِتّ وأربعينَ سنَةً، فكيفَ تَبنيهِ أنتَ في ثلاثَةِ أيّامٍ؟» 21 وكانَ يَسوعُ يَعني بِالهَيكَلِ جسَدَهُ. 22 فلمّا قامَ مِنْ بَينِ الأمواتِ، تذكّرَ تلاميذُهُ هذا الكلامَ، فآمَنوا بالكِتابِ والكلامِ الذي قالَهُ يَسوعُ.
المسيح يعرف البشر
23 ولمّا كانَ في أُورُشليمَ مُدّةَ عيدِ الفِصحِ، آمنَ بِه كثيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ حينَ رأَوا الآياتِ التي صَنَعَها. 24 لكِنّ يَسوعَ ما اَطمأَنّ إلَيهِم، لأنّهُ كانَ يَعرِفُهُم كُلّهُم، 25 ولا يَحتاجُ إلى مَنْ يُخبِرُهُ عَنْ أحَدٍ، لأنّهُ كانَ يَعلَمُ ما في قَلبِ الإنسانِ.
