Premier miracle de Jésus aux noces de Cana
V. 1-12: cf. (Mt 22:2. Ap 19:9.) (Jn 5:36. Ac 10:38.) Mt 9:15.1 Trois jours après, il y eut des noces à Cana en Galilée. La mère de Jésus était là, 2 et Jésus fut aussi invité aux noces avec ses disciples. 3 Le vin ayant manqué, la mère de Jésus lui dit: Ils n’ont plus de vin. 4 Jésus lui répondit: Femme, qu’y a-t-il entre moi et toi? Mon heure n’est pas encore venue. 5 Sa mère dit aux serviteurs: Faites ce qu’il vous dira. 6 Or, il y avait là six vases de pierre, destinés aux purifications des Juifs, et contenant chacun deux ou trois mesures. 7 Jésus leur dit: Remplissez d’eau ces vases. Et ils les remplirent jusqu’au bord.
8 Puisez maintenant, leur dit-il, et portez-en à l’ordonnateur du repas. Et ils en portèrent. 9 Quand l’ordonnateur du repas eut goûté l’eau changée en vin, ne sachant d’où venait ce vin, tandis que les serviteurs, qui avaient puisé l’eau, le savaient bien, il appela l’époux, 10 et lui dit: Tout homme sert d’abord le bon vin, puis le moins bon après qu’on s’est enivré; toi, tu as gardé le bon vin jusqu’à présent. 11 Tel fut, à Cana en Galilée, le premier des miracles que fit Jésus. Il manifesta sa gloire, et ses disciples crurent en lui. 12 Après cela, il descendit à Capernaüm, avec sa mère, ses frères et ses disciples, et ils n’y demeurèrent que peu de jours.
Jésus à Jérusalem. Les vendeurs chassés du temple
V. 13-22: cf. Mc 11:15-18, Mc 27-33Mc 14:57, Mc 58Mc 15:29. Mt 12:38-40.13 La Pâque des Juifs était proche, et Jésus monta à Jérusalem. 14 Il trouva dans le temple les vendeurs de bœufs, de brebis et de pigeons, et les changeurs assis. 15 Ayant fait un fouet avec des cordes, il les chassa tous du temple, ainsi que les brebis et les bœufs; il dispersa la monnaie des changeurs, et renversa les tables; 16 et il dit aux vendeurs de pigeons: Otez cela d’ici, ne faites pas de la maison de mon Père une maison de trafic. 17 Ses disciples se souvinrent qu’il est écrit:
Le zèle de ta maison me dévore.
Le temple relevé en trois jours
18 Les Juifs, prenant la parole, lui dirent: Quel miracle nous montres-tu, pour agir de la sorte? 19 Jésus leur répondit: Détruisez ce temple, et en trois jours je le relèverai. 20 Les Juifs dirent: Il a fallu quarante-six ans pour bâtir ce temple, et toi, en trois jours tu le relèveras! 21 Mais il parlait du temple de son corps. 22 C’est pourquoi, lorsqu’il fut ressuscité des morts, ses disciples se souvinrent qu’il avait dit cela, et ils crurent à l’Écriture et à la parole que Jésus avait dite.
Ce que pense Jésus de ceux qui croient en son nom
V. 23-25: cf. Jé 17:9, Jé 10. Hé 4:12, Hé 13. Ap 2:23.23 Pendant que Jésus était à Jérusalem, à la fête de Pâque, plusieurs crurent en son nom, voyant les miracles qu’il faisait. 24 Mais Jésus ne se fiait point à eux, parce qu’il les connaissait tous, 25 et parce qu’il n’avait pas besoin qu’on lui rendît témoignage d’aucun homme; car il savait lui-même ce qui était dans l’homme.
The Wedding in Cana
1 Two days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine had given out, Jesus' mother said to him, “They are out of wine.”
4 “You must not tell me what to do,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
5 Jesus' mother then told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 The Jews have rules about ritual washing, and for this purpose six stone water jars were there, each one large enough to hold between twenty and thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill these jars with water.” They filled them to the brim, 8 and then he told them, “Now draw some water out and take it to the man in charge of the feast.” They took him the water, 9 which now had turned into wine, and he tasted it. He did not know where this wine had come from (but, of course, the servants who had drawn out the water knew); so he called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone else serves the best wine first, and after the guests have drunk a lot, he serves the ordinary wine. But you have kept the best wine until now!”
11 Jesus performed this first miracle in Cana in Galilee; there he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this, Jesus and his mother, brothers, and disciples went to Capernaum and stayed there a few days.
Jesus Goes to the Temple
(Matthew 21.12Matthew 13Mark 11.15-17Luke 19.45Luke 46)13 It was almost time for the Passover Festival, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 There in the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons, and also the moneychangers sitting at their tables. 15 So he made a whip from cords and drove all the animals out of the Temple, both the sheep and the cattle; he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins; 16 and he ordered those who sold the pigeons, “Take them out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!” 17 His disciples remembered that the scripture says, “My devotion to your house, O God, burns in me like a fire.”
18 The Jewish authorities came back at him with a question, “What miracle can you perform to show us that you have the right to do this?”
19 Jesus answered, “Tear down this Temple, and in three days I will build it again.”
20 “Are you going to build it again in three days?” they asked him. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple!”
21 But the temple Jesus was speaking about was his body. 22 So when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and what Jesus had said.
Jesus' Knowledge of Human Nature
23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem during the Passover Festival, many believed in him as they saw the miracles he performed. 24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew them all. 25 There was no need for anyone to tell him about them, because he himself knew what was in their hearts.
