1 A treia zi s'a făcut o nuntă în Cana din Galilea. Mama lui Isus era acolo.
2 Şi la nuntă a fost chemat şi Isus cu ucenicii Lui.
3 Cînd s'a isprăvit vinul, mama lui Isus I -a zis: ,,Nu mai au vin.``
4 Isus i -a răspuns: ,,Femeie, ce am a face Eu cu tine? Nu Mi -a venit încă ceasul.``
5 Mama lui a zis slugilor: ,,Să faceţi orice vă va zice``.
6 Şi acolo erau şase vase de piatră, puse după obiceiul de curăţire al Iudeilor; şi în fiecare vas încăpeau cîte două sau trei vedre.
7 Isus le -a zis: ,,Umpleţi vasele acestea cu apă``. Şi le-au umplut pînă sus.
8 ,,Scoateţi acum``, le -a zis El, şi ,,aduceţi nunului.`` Şi i-au adus:
9 Nunul, dupăce a gustat apa făcută vin, -el nu ştia de unde vine vinul acesta (slugile însă, cari scoseseră apa, ştiau), -a chemat pe mire,
10 şi i -a zis: ,,Orice om pune la masă întîi vinul cel bun; şi, după ce oamenii au băut bine, atunci pune pe cel mai puţin bun; dar tu ai ţinut vinul cel bun pînă acum.``
11 Acest început al semnelor Lui l -a făcut Isus în Cana din Galilea. El Şi -a arătat slava Sa, şi ucenicii Lui au crezut în El.
12 După aceea, S'a pogorît la Capernaum, împreună cu mama, fraţii şi ucenicii Lui; şi acolo n'au rămas multe zile.
13 Paştele Iudeilor erau aproape; şi Isus S'a suit la Ierusalim.
14 În Templu a găsit pe cei ce vindeau boi, oi şi porumbei, şi pe schimbătorii de bani şezînd jos.
15 A făcut un bici de ştreanguri, şi i -a scos pe toţi afară din Templu, împreună cu oile şi boii; a vărsat banii schimbătorilor, şi le -a răsturnat mesele.
16 Şi a zis celor ce vindeau porumbei: ,,Ridicaţi acestea de aici, şi nu faceţi din casa Tatălui Meu o casă de negustorie.``
17 Ucenicii Lui şi-au adus aminte că este scris: ,,Rîvna pentru casa Ta Mă mănîncă pe Mine.``
18 Iudeii au luat cuvîntul, şi I-au zis: ,,Prin ce semn ne arăţi că ai putere să faci astfel de lucruri?``
19 Drept răspuns, Isus le -a zis: ,,Stricaţi Templul acesta, şi în trei zile îl voi ridica.``
20 Iudeii au zis: ,,Au trebuit patruzeci şi şase de ani, ca să se zidească Templul acesta, şi Tu îl vei ridica în trei zile?``
21 Dar El le vorbea despre Templul trupului Său.
22 Tocmai de aceea, cînd a înviat din morţi, ucenicii Lui şi-au adus aminte că le spusese vorbele acestea; şi au crezut Scriptura şi cuvintele pe cari le spusese Isus.
23 Pe cînd era Isus în Ierusalim, la praznicul Paştelor, mulţi au crezut în Numele Lui; căci vedeau semnele pe cari le făcea.
24 Dar Isus nu Se încredea în ei, pentrucă îi cunoştea pe toţi.
25 Şi n'avea trebuinţă să -I facă cineva mărturisiri despre niciun om, fiindcă El însuş ştia ce este în om.
1 On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:
2 And Jesus with his disciples came as guests.
3 When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come.
5 His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.
6 Now six pots of stone, every one taking two or three firkins of water, were placed there for the purpose of washing, as is the way of the Jews.
7 Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.
8 Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.
9 After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,
10 And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.
11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.
13 The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:
15 And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables;
16 And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.
17 And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.
18 Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?
19 And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.
20 The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!
21 But his words were about that holy building which was his body.
22 So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.
23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.
24 But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.
25 He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.
