Johannes 2

Bryllupet i Kana

1  t Den tredje dagen var det et bryllup i Kana i Galilea. Jesu mor var der. 2 Også Jesus og disiplene hans var innbudt. 3 Da vinen tok slutt, sa Jesu mor til ham: «De har ikke mer vin.» 4 tt «Kvinne, hva vil du meg?» sa Jesus. «Min time er ennå ikke kommet.»

5 t Men moren hans sa til tjenerne: «Det han sier til dere, skal dere gjøre.»
6  t t Det sto seks vannkar av stein der, slike som brukes i jødenes renselsesskikker. Hvert av dem rommet to eller tre anker. 7 «Fyll karene med vann», sa Jesus til tjenerne. De fylte dem til randen. 8 t «Øs nå opp og bær det til kjøkemesteren», sa han. Det gjorde de. 9 Kjøkemesteren smakte på vannet. Det var blitt til vin. Han visste ikke hvor den var kommet fra, men tjenerne som hadde øst opp vannet, visste det. Da ropte han på brudgommen

10 og sa: «Alle andre setter først fram den gode vinen, og når gjestene blir beruset, kommer de med den dårlige. Men du har spart den gode vinen til nå.»
11  t Dette var det første tegnet Jesus gjorde, det var i Kana i Galilea. Han åpenbarte sin herlighet, og disiplene hans trodde på ham.

12 Deretter dro han ned til Kapernaum sammen med moren, brødrene og disiplene sine, og der ble de noen dager.

Det gamle og det nye tempelet

(Matt 21,12–13; Mark 11,15–17; Luk 19,45–46)

17 t Disiplene hans husket at det står skrevet: Brennende iver for ditt hus skal fortære meg.
18  t Da tok jødene til orde og spurte ham: «Kan du vise oss et tegn på at du har rett til å gjøre dette?» 19 t Jesus svarte dem: «Riv ned dette tempelet, og jeg skal reise det opp igjen på tre dager.» 20 t «I førtiseks år har de bygd på dette tempelet, og du vil reise det opp igjen på tre dager?» sa de. 21 t Men det tempelet han talte om, var hans egen kropp.

22 t Da han var stått opp fra de døde, husket disiplene hans at han hadde sagt dette, og de trodde Skriften og det ordet Jesus hadde sagt.

John 2

Turning Water into Wine

1 Now on the third day there was a wedding at Canas in Galilee.s Jesus’ mothert was there,2 and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.s3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine left.”ts4 Jesus replied,t “Woman,s why are you saying this to me?t My timets has not yet come.”

5 His mother told the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.”t
6 Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washing,t each holding twenty or thirty gallons.ts7 Jesus told the servants,t “Fill the water jars with water.” So they filled them up to the very top.8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the head steward,”t and they did.9 Whent the head steward tasted the water that had been turned to wine, not knowing where it came fromt (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), het called the bridegroom10 and said to him, “Everyonet serves the good wine first, and then the cheapert wine when the guestst are drunk. You have kept the good wine until now!”

11 Jesus did this as the first of his miraculous signs,t in Canas of Galilee. In this way he revealedt his glory, and his disciples believed in him.t

Cleansing the Temple

12 After this he went down to Capernaumss with his mother and brotherss and his disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13 Now the Jewish feast of Passovert was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.s
14 s He found in the temple courtsts those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at tables.t15 So he made a whip of cordss and drove them all out of the temple courts,t with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changerss and overturned their tables.16 To those who sold the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not maket my Father’s house a marketplace!”ts

17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zealtfor your house will devour me.”s
18 So then the Jewish leaderst responded,t “What sign can you show us, since you are doing these things?”s19 Jesus replied,t “Destroyt this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.”20 Then the Jewish leaderst said to him, “This temple has been under constructiont for forty-six years,s and are you going to raise it up in three days?”21 But Jesust was speaking about the temple of his body.ts

22 So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scriptures and the sayingt that Jesus had spoken.

Jesus at the Passover Feast

23 Now while Jesust was in Jerusalems at the feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing.s24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people.t

25 He did not need anyone to testify about man,t for he knew what was in man.t
